Description:
1 - Flamingo Bar flyer dates from 1996. We tried Dynamite Boogaloo in London as a monthly event, although it didn’t last long. Flamingo Bar was previously known as Bar Industria which had quite a few queer nights. Flamingo Bar gave the space quite a posh makeover and the bartender was the amazing Dick Bradsell who was London’s top “mixologist” (he invented the Espresso Martini among other cocktails).
2 - Dynamite Boogaloo cartoon flyer. Dynamite Sal’s boyfriend Sean Longcroft drew these cartoons. It features me, Sal, Dolly Rocket and DJ Wanker (Richard Smith). I would date this to 1998.
3 - The Double Six Club this was at Jongleurs in Leicester where I was drafted in to DJ. I think this would be 1998 too.
4 - Dynamite Boogaloo photo flyer - the photo was taken by Amanda (surname missing). I think the flyer would date from 1995 when we went to the Joint. It features me, Dolly and Sal (l-r).
5 - Late Nights In Shoreditch this is from 1997, I was drafted in to DJ and do cabaret shows at weekends at 333. The venue was previously the London Apprentic (notorious sleazy gay hangout) and was (and still is) owned by the formidable Vicky Pengelly. This was literally when Shoreditch was starting to attract artists etc and was still really rundown…but it was getting that cool edge. The club itself was literally falling down, bits of masonry falling off the ceiling etc. 333 and The Bricklayers Arms (also owned by Vicky) were at the epicentre of all the action; I lived just around the corner for a few years so was involved a little bit but not by any means a big part of it.
