I Terrorists hijack the llueen Well not quite. but this week our letters editor received photos of old Queenie’s portrait. which was stolen from the RAF club in Glasgow. This incident is the supposed reason why the Goodfoot has been thrown out of the venue. The photos show the twilight organisation known only as ‘The Goodfoot Appreciation Society‘ standing in masks below the portrait. N0t exactly what I would call ‘appreciation’. getting the club closed down. not big and not clever and most definitely not getting a bottle of tequila. I Squid opens at La Belle Angele. Edinburgh on 14 May. The club promises to be something out of the ordinary. with extensive decoration being done to the venue. the idea is to create a concept club based on an under- water/deep sea kind of thang. with lots of mellow blue lighting to create a cool pool of ocean ambience in the centre of the city.

If you have. then get yourself down to Edinburgh’s Ex-S on 21 May. the people at Smirnoff vodka are on a big promotional tour of the country‘s nightclubs and have got a whole host of prizes and give-aways on the evening.

I Z-neaerection We’ll have a full run down of PAs and DJs for the event. plus three pairs of tickets along with some other 2- Rezerection goodies to give away. all in our next issue. I Ex-S in Edinburgh seem to be making moves away from their main-stream reputation. with two new Saturday night clubs starting this month. Try Your Finger opens on 8 May. re-inventing the interior of the club and running fortnightly. With DJs Andy Williams and John Gianni playing a mixture of bouncy balearic tunes alongside their guest for the night DJ Lofty (Boys Own) from London. Running alternate weeks is the nomadic club Carbolic Frolic. now perhaps finding a permanent venue. The musical jamboree will be DJ’d by regulars Scott Ferguson and Andy Williams. with occasional guests. Of course expect complete Carbolic decor and a friendly but firm door policy. ensuring a good night out for all you kings and queens of the dancefloor.
