Neil (one half of the Su Pollard Connection) and local boy Andrew Elvers of Balfe Street DJ together at Heaven on Friday nights. On the 22nd November, along with their pal Kevin (the other Su), who is resident at Carwash, they bring it all on home to King's Cross and for free!
For years now they've been talking about doing a night playing proper old skool gay disco – the kind you just don't hear anymore, yet it was so influential and fabulous! They had a false start last year and then considered another venue this year but decided against. And then along came an offer of the Kings Cross Social Club. They felt this was right right and so are going for it.
Andrew says,
"We will be including the big cross over tracks too like Grace Jones, Weather Girls, Laura Branigan, Abba etc so it should still be accessible for those not total trainspotters like we are!"
King's Cross Social Club has brought what used to be the Golden Lion, on King's Cross Road, back to life after it's sad closure last year. Let's support this new local venue… after all, there is nothing that can bring us all together for good old traditional knees-up as successfully as a stonking great gay disco.
