GOLDIE, THE ARTIST Remember Goldie? The gold-toothed drum & bass mastermind who had a string of hits in the 90s, including 1994’s Inner City Life?

Well, he’s an artist, too, and is showing his street art via a new exhibition, The Kids Are All Riot, in London. Work in the show will range from £250 to £15,000, and is expected to attract strong celebrity names from the film and music industry who are now buying Goldie’s art.

LOOTING JOE ORTON’S DIARIES Joe Orton – playwright, promiscuous homosexual and murder victim – loved words so much that he said he wanted to ‘lock the audience in the theatre and then fire words at them like a machine gun.’ Now, it’s not his plays that is hitting the London stage, but a dramatisation of his diaries. ‘We made this rule that all the words in the play had to come from Joe,’ says Tom Shkolnik, director of new play Looting Orton’s Diaries, which was due to premiere on March 30 at The Arcola Theatre in Dalston, London as 3SIXTY went to press. “We took the diaries, photocopied them and started cutting out different episodes and seeing what came out.” The result is said to be a personal peek into the mind of one of Britain’s most fascinating playwrights. Jamie Baughan stars. Mon 30 March - Sat 4 April, Arcola Theatre, Arcola Street, London. Box Office 020 7503 1646.

SOUND OF THE

NIKDENTON

UNDERGROUND NIK DENTON IS A NAME SYNONYMOUS WITH THE FINEST IN UNDERGROUND DANCE MUSIC. FROM HIS EARLY DAYS DJING IN SOUTHAMPTON, NIK’S CAREER HAS TAKEN HIM ON AN EXTENSIVE JOURNEY, BOTH GEOGRAPHICALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. WITH HIS RECORD LABEL TOOLBOX MUSIC CELEBRATING ITS 8TH BIRTHDAY THIS MONTH, JONNY M CAUGHT UP WITH THE LEGEND TO TALK ABOUT RECESSION BUSTING CLUBNIGHTS, THE CHANGING SHAPE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, AND WHY MANCHESTER’S CLUB SCENE IS STILL ONE OF THE HOTTEST TICKETS AROUND.

ik Denton seems to have done it all. He runs an artist management agency, two record labels and a successful club night. Yet somehow Nik Denton also finds time to produce his own tracks, remix plenty of others, and to travel up and down the country laying down his trademark turbo house sound on some of the world’s most prestigious dance floors. How does he fit it all it?

“I think the simple answer is, I don’t”, says Nik. “The consequence is that I’m the one walking round tired, doing 14 or 15 hour days. I think it’s more to do with wanting to do it, you always find the time.”

Taking up the bulk of this work are Nik’s record labels, Toolbox and Toolbox House.

Toolbox, which has just celebrated its 8th birthday, is one of the best-known hard house labels in the world, and sister label Toolbox House has been consistently churning out quality house tracks since 2005.

That year was a pivotal one for Nik, as he turned his hobby into a viable business.

But it’s not his business acumen that sets him apart from other DJs, it’s the raw passion for underground dance music. With many gay clubs keeping numbers up by playing ‘gay-friendly’ genres like commercial house and camp pop, Nik’s stayed true to himself and stuck to the underground. In fact, he has seemingly devoted every aspect of his life to this new electronic religion.

“It’s just what I’ve grown up with,” says Nik. “When I was 15, and going through a difficult time with family and coming out, going out clubbing, and dancing to music was escapism for me. I have very fond memories of that, and because I loved it so much I wanted to turn it into something that would always be close to me. It just happened naturally because it’s what I love doing.”

Nik started out his DJing career in Southampton, moving on to Manchester after making something of a name for himself on the South Coast. He quickly got swept up into the local nightlife. “Literally

N

from the minute I got to Manchester I’ve had residencies and got involved. I like to put a lot of effort into the things I do and luckily I’ve made a lot of right decisions. A lot of DJs come and go, or move around, but I’ve been grounded in Manchester for the last eight years and that’s worked for me.”

As a high profile DJ Nik is constantly in demand from some of the biggest clubs in the country, often in London at the likes of original afterhours Trade and in Leeds at northern superclub Federation.

So why did he choose to settle in Manchester? “Manchester has such a strong history of being a clubbing city, with clubs like the Hacienda in the not so distant past. There’s a very tight knit community so whereas the recession has hit clubbing in other areas more, Manchester has this brilliant mentality.

When times are hard people do without the expensive car and just think “fuck it, lets go and party”.”

With the economic crisis in full swing it’s not often you hear a nightclub promoter putting a positive spin on the current clubbing climate. But Nik admits the picture isn’t as rosy as it once was.

“Everyone’s struggling for it to be how it used to be. The figures are there, there are pubs and clubs closing all cross the country. But this just makes me more determined and eager to put on a good party. If people are only coming out once a month I need to make sure they have a good time on that one night.”

I My T w oMums In 1998, when Alice Reeves was just eleven years old, her mum came out as a lesbian. Her mum’s ‘best friend’, who had been living with the family for six months before the announcement, was much more than that – she was her girlfriend.

Now 22-years-old, how has being brought up by two female parents affected her life?

W

hen my mum told me the news, I was completely shattered. Being so young and having been brought up in a completely straight world, I had trouble getting my head around it.

At the time, I hadn’t even got to grips with what sexuality meant; how was I supposed to understand homosexuality? Even for people who come out as gay themselves, it isn’t a problem they need to address until they hit puberty. To my peer group, ‘gay’ was just a word we used to refer to people we didn’t like.

It had no meaning other than as an insult.

As I got older, it was easier to accept my Mum’s relationship. After a few years, homosexuality was just as ‘normal’ to me as heterosexuality. But growing up in my small, middleclass village, I felt completely alone. In fact, a survey conducted in 2003 of 1,000 LGBT people

22-23 Feature 2.indd 22

revealed that my situation was by no means unique – one in five respondents had children.

Apply this finding to the 3.6 million gay people in the UK, and suddenly there are around 720,000 gay parents. Even more significant to me was the fact that more than 85% of these children were the result of previous heterosexual relationships, just like my family situation.

Although we can’t deny that society is today more accepting of homosexuality than ever, gay families are still a controversial subject.

Observer journalist Maureen Rice has described gay families as “the last dark corner of homophobia, still full of half-formed superstitions and suppositions about what is ‘natural’ and ‘best’ for children.”

Recently, Stephen Green, the director of the virulently anti-gay sect Christian Voice posted a piece on his website discussing the adoption of two young children by a gay couple in Edinburgh, a story that hit headlines in

February.

In it, Green attempts to equate being gay with paedophilia, saying: “There is a risk that one or both of a pair of homosexuals may have an unhealthy interest in a child, especially a boy. Homosexuals are statistically highly overrepresented in child sexual abuse cases.” His homophobic tirade continues as he describes how damaged a child in a gay family will become. His argument is, firstly, that, “Children placed with gays will have to endure playground taunts.”

Most children, at some point, will be picked on. It’s part of growing up. I was teased about my Mum being gay; at one point I was even slammed against a wall and spat on for being the daughter of a ‘dyke’. But then, I was also overweight, wore glasses and had terrible acne.

Even without a gay mum I was a prime target; that just gave them extra ammunition.

According to NSPCC child protection statis-

tics, 31% of children will experience bullying during childhood, and hardly any of those kids will have gay parents.

Jeffrey Weeks, Professor of Sociology at London’s South Bank University, says in his study Same Sex Intimacies that one of the most common charges against gay parents is that their children will “lack the necessary balance of male and female role models”. Clearly, the same could be said for single parents. As Weeks says: “All children need to be aware of emotional behaviours, both masculine and feminine, but there is no reason to suggest the children of gay couples will miss out on this.” After all, they’re being taught by male and female teachers, interacting with their parents’ straight friends and their friends’ straight parents and all the while being exposed to celebrities of different genders and sexual orientations – children have a multitude of role models to pick and choose from, and even children of straight parents rarely pick the best ones.

But are children of gay parents really more likely to be gay? My brother and I both turned out straight, and as far as I know he never questioned his sexuality. We both, however, grew up around naïve kids making comments about hereditary ‘gayness’. I became terrified that I’d turn out gay because I didn’t want to be given a hard time. As I grew up though, I

realised that I didn’t care what people thought.

I loved my family, and having a gay parent gave me the mental and emotional freedom I needed to openly question my sexuality.

As a teenager, sometimes I kissed boys, but sometimes I kissed girls. I didn’t worry whether that meant I was gay, straight, bisexual or ‘experimentational’. I was just me and I didn’t need a label. To be honest, I’m not too sure I believe in a definite ‘sexuality’ at all any more. You are what you are, and you love who you love. I don’t understand why life can’t be that simple.

Mr Green ends his homophobic rant by saying: “Social Services talk about the ‘best interests of the children’, but it is their interests and the interests of political correctness they are more worried about...it will never be in [the child’s] best interests to be placed with a pair of homosexuals rather than a heterosexual couple.”

Although there has never been a law preventing gay individuals from adopting, laws granting gay couples adoption rights are fairly recent.

Gay couples were allowed to apply for joint adoption when the Adoption and Children Act was passed into law in 2002, coming into effect in 2005. Now, in 2009, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill is set to become an Act of Parliament – meaning that gay couples can apply for IVF treatment at fertility clinics and be

granted joint legal parenting rights. Gay parents, with the support of the law, are set to become far more common. Social acceptance however, will clearly be slow in coming.

As Gary Nunn, a spokesperson for Stonewall, says: “I think that it is really important that we get the law changed and that’s why we have fought so hard. But the next step is changing people’s hearts and minds and debunking myths about gay families. Changing the way people think is going to be the greatest challenge.”

I don’t understand why sexuality has to figure at all in the first place. Surely, when considering what’s best for children, a loving home comes top of the list. Even better, a loving home in which children can be brought up without prejudice, not feeling the need to pigeon-hole themselves or others, not judging those who are different but respecting those who are proud of their differences, can never be a bad thing.

If my Mum had taken up with a man, I don’t see how my life would have been any different in terms of what I’ve achieved. But I wouldn’t have felt that I had the confidence to question my sexuality and discover who I was early in life. I wouldn’t have become the person that I am. And honestly, I wouldn’t have my Mum any other way.

FACT BOX: The History of Gay Family Rights • 1967: The Sexual Offences Act receives Royal Assent, partially decriminalising homosexuality between consenting males over 21 ‘in private’ • 1988: The Local Government Act becomes law, including Section 28 prohibiting schools from promoting the “acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship” • 1998: The Commons votes to equalise the age of sexual consent (at 16) for homosexual and heterosexual couples but this is defeated in The Lords. Two years’ later The Parliament Act is used to force this legislation through Parliament

• 2002: The Adoption and Children Act 2002 allows same-sex couples in England and Wales to apply for adoption jointly • 2003: Section 28 repealed throughout the UK by The Local Government Act 2003 • 2005: The Civil Partnership Act comes into force, allowing samesex couples to register as civil partners • 2008: MPs vote in favour of The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, which will give lesbian couples who undergo IVF joint parenting rights

Rose Collis on the loose with the Lesbian Vampire Killers Come on then, you defenders of Lesbian Vampire Killers, get it over with now: dismiss me as just a typical, humourless old dyke who didn’t get the joke or the irony. ‘Dyke’? Why, certainly. ‘Old’? Well, you’re only as old as the woman you feel (damn it, where did I put that 18-year old…?) But ‘humourless? Ah, come off it — are you having a laugh? You see, it’s awfully hard to get the joke when there simply aren’t any there to ‘get’.

So, detract and dismiss away: however, there’s simply no getting away from the fact that this latest woeful piece of British cinematic effluent at worst, merely panders to the most base, harmful and misogyny-tinged female stereotypes (think predatory, man-hating harpies…) and, at best it — well, sucks.

Now there’s some real irony for you…

As any fule no, there is a direct correlation between derogatory images of, and references to, lesbians and gay men in the media, and homophobia-fuelled bullying and abuse in schools and on the streets.

In an excellent article in The Times on Thursday 5 March, Tim Teeman voiced his concerns about the apparent acceptability in TV and film comedy of insulting and irredeemable gay stereotypes, citing Al Murray’s mincing, lisping, pink-clad gay Nazi, as seen in his ITV1 series, Multiple Personality Disorder (little wonder, then, that ITV’s in the bloody mess it is). Meanwhile, let’s switch over to the BBC: in 2006, Jeremy Clarkson — that noted supporter of partiallysighted people, and gas-guzzling oaf with the 7-figure

salary — referred to a car he didn’t like as ‘a bit gay’ and ‘very ginger beer’. Since then, I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard things and/or people referred to as being ‘a bit gay’ — and it’s never meant as a compliment. I’ve taken to terming this as ‘surreptitious bigotry’: it falls just short of someone shouting ‘queer bastard’ or ‘man-hating bitch’ to your face, but the inference that we’re inferior is loud and clear.

Now, joining this illustrious line-up (ooh, look, more irony!) are James Corden and Mathew Horne, the BBC’s latest celebrated comedic coupling, attempting to take their success in Gavin & Stacey to the next level — namely, the balconies of the nation’s multiplexes, peopled by 18-25 year olds with degrees in post-irony. The target audience for Lesbian Vampire Killers — with its ‘15’ classification — will already have been well-primed, courtesy of Tim Goodall, the fey ‘gay war reporter’ in Horne and Corden’s BBC3 sketch series. As Tim Teeman observes, the young comics would undoubtedly defend the inclusion of this character on the basis that it ‘subverts’ stereotypes.

So what’s wrong with two young, white, heterosexual men doing that? Let me spell it out: they haven’t earned the right to — it isn’t them who have suffered from the effects of decades of stereotyping.

Touted as a ‘Withnail & I meets Hammer Horror’ spoof, Lesbian Vampire Killers casts Horne and Corden as Jimmy and Fletch, two unappetising losers who, taking the concept of ‘suspension of disbelief’ beyond belief, are holed up in an old cottage with a vanful of attractive Swedish female tourists who seem to find beery chubster Fletch irresistible (yeah, right…). It transpires that the village labours under a curse: when all girls reach the age of 18, they turn into (you guessed it) lesbian vampires, and the new tourists in town are merely fodder to satisfy the Sapphic appetites. Thus, our ‘heroes’ set about freeing the village by slaying the offending blood-suckers.

This pale ghost of a storyline is the cue for what amounts to little a film version of Nuts, but without the joke — puerile expletives, blonde bimbos, and even a few gay ‘bumming’ references. Plus, of course, the lipstick lesbian vampires themselves are man-hating,

evil, predatory ‘harpies’, who are dispatched in subtly vindictive manner: none of the old stake through the heart or crucifixes will suffice — they are impaled on sharp implements and their skulls rent in twain by axes.

Laugh? I thought my popcorn would never dry…

Of course, the lesbian vampire genre is almost as old as cinema itself: the first specialist suck-it-and-see sister was in Dracula’s Daughter (1936) and others regularly followed in similar vein, from Daughters of Darkness (1971) to that cult favourite, The Hunger (1983), starring Catherine Deneuve — who, you may recall, was so keen not to be associated with lesbianism took legal action against the best-selling US magazine Curve when it first launched itself as…Deneuve. They were all very much of their time, and none dinted on the lesbian sexploitation potential. For all its 21st century comedy post-irony ‘credentials’, Lesbian Vampire Killers is as devoid of any redeeming qualities as its generic predecessors.

The vein has dried up.

So, should we be outside cinemas with our placards, campaigning against Lesbian Vampire Killers? I think not: it’s so stinky, I can’t imagine it won’t simply selfdestruct and bring box office disaster down onto the deserving heads of all those responsible for it. Take a bow, director Phil Claydon, and writers Paul Hupfield and Stewart Williams: you are about to wrest the title held for 17 years by Peter’s Friends for ‘Worst British Movie Ever Made’.

Bite me.

Marble Media Publishing:

THE LAUNCH The good, the great and the downright fabulous turned out on a breezy Monday evening on March 2nd to celebrate the launch of 3SIXTY’s new publishing house, Marble Media Publishing. The first of the number of planned events around the country (watch this space for announcements), the Brighton party offered up fire eaters, DJs, the dragulously fabulous Miss Jason, speeches by tipsy members of staff and an address by the Mayor of Brighton and Hove, Garry Peltzer-Dunn, who got into the spirit of things and showed off his mighty bling. Cheers!

“I think I’m done with the sofa/I think I’m done with the hall/ I think I’m done with the kitchen table, baby” sang George Michael in his 1998 hit, Outside. But does that mean craving new sexual experiences takes you to the bathroom? Golden showers are in full flow, finds Paul Wild. have a confession to make: I’m not as broad-minded as I seem. I try my hardest to be as liberal as the next guy, but there are some things that I just can’t do. The trouble is, lately I seem to be attracting the kind of guys who want what I can’t give them. I’m sure you’ve heard it all before: you meet a guy in a bar or on the internet and you get talking. Things are going well, he’s laughing at your jokes. He touches you every chance he gets; he even buys the drinks (or whatever the online equivalent of that is: some kind of emoticon, perhaps?). If you’re lucky you take things home. You’re delighted when he asks “so, what are you into?’ and you’re a top/bottom match. For me, the familiar tale goes off the rails here. He needs to pee. He’s not going to the bathroom. He was thinking we could have some fun with it. Talk about a mood killer. Time of death: right about now. Maybe it’s just me - perhaps I just have that kind of face, but lately everyone I meet seems to be into it. I’m starting to get a complex: I can’t move for water sports enthusiasts.

For the record, I’m a very broad church when we get down to it, but I have a problem with golden showers.

Call me old fashioned but I just don’t want to bring the bathroom into the bedroom - that’s why I have a door on the en-suite. If it gets you off go right ahead, but it’s just not my cup of tea.

Especially as it’s probably tea that has already been drank and expelled once. Urine and I do not mix. I hate using a urinal when someone else is standing next to me; no matter how hard I want to go, stand a stranger next to me and I clam up like an oyster. Wild horses couldn’t drag it out. Who thought up urinals in the first place?

Yes, they’re convenient. Yes, they keep the queues down at football games. The price you pay for this is having to see other people expel their waste out of the corner of your eye, and then leaving with it all over your shoes. There’s nothing worse than getting to a urinal and remembering too late you’re wearing flip-flops, except the splashing you get about five seconds later.

As for bringing all that into the bedroom, I think we all know where I stand. It’s not just the fact that I don’t like it that puts me off: it’s all a damned inconvenience, too. It’s so involved, especially when I only just met you. When you enter my bedroom you won’t see any guttering around my bed. When you sit on the mattress you won’t hear the crackle of a plastic fitted sheet. It’s obviously not going to

happen on the bed, so we’d have to break up the fun to move into the bathroom. Then we’d have a struggle while you try to lie out in my tiny bath (because if I were ever to try this, I can assure you I would be the ‘shower-er’). Afterward you’d have to wash it all off before I let you anywhere near me. It all sounds like a lot of trouble to go to for something that really doesn’t seem that exciting in the first place.

I’m not a fan, but some people like water sports. That’s fine, but last time I checked there was nothing on my forehead saying that if you are into it, I’m your guy. So, assuming it isn’t just me, why are more and more guys into urolagnia?

I’m not naïve enough to think that my generation invented it – people have been getting off on this stuff for centuries – but it seems to be having something of a popular renaissance in gay circles these days, and gay men seems more open about admitting they like it. It isn’t something you bring up over dinner in mixed company, but golden showers seem to be the new gay sex. Maybe the old gay sex has become so mainstream nowadays that we need something new to maintain the mystique of the queer world. After all, isn’t everyone into the tuchus these days? Men are encouraged to get to know theirs, and they’ve been trying to get to know women’s since the dawn of time. While it’s nice that so many straight men are now more open-minded (and therefore potential trade), don’t you feel like our club is a little less exclusive these days? The thrill of doing something other people weren’t doing, and knowing they knew you were doing it, is gone. Sex and the City and the Mardi Gras have given gay sex to the world.

Gays haven’t done too badly out of entering the mainstream: we have won legal equality, broad social acceptance and many rights not previously enjoyed. These are all good things, but part of life in the mainstream is knowing that what you are doing isn’t subversive any more: it’s run of the mill, the same as everyone else.

The edgier aspects of gay life have been rounded off to present a smoother, less in-your-face picture of the gay world, and maybe that’s not a bad thing. We don’t want to go backwards, but there was something alluring about being on the outside, too. In gay bars up and down the country, maybe we are all seeking ways to rekindle that lost exoticism, to push the social envelope that little bit further. At the end of the night, perhaps getting that thrill again is worth getting peed on after all.

Is Dubai, the land of dreams, turning into a nightmare of empty human achievement? Scott Brown investigates. uild it and they shall come. A simple, considered and concise philosophy which forms the basis of the vision for Dubai. A philosophy warmly embraced and aggressively adhered to. A philosophy that became a mantra. A mantra that became the way of life. When money isn’t an obstacle, nothing is beyond the realm of possibility.

And possibility is everything.

London, Paris, New York; cities that have evolved throughout time, places which exist where they do for a specific reason. Places that have become what they are due to the fact they are locations in which people have chosen to settle, where communities have built up over time. Dubai cannot claim the same.

Dubai is a canvas painted in the vision of one man. Created due to a need to attract people; people who will provide an economy when the oil

and gas reserves run dry. Dubai has been manufactured into a real life Disneyland, offered to the world as an artificial picture paradise that is pretty much as perfect as perfect can be.

Sheikh Mohammed, the ruler of Dubai, began this process with a simple brief: “Build Dubai an icon”. That icon was the Burj Al Arab, a stunning feat of architecture and engineering which stands bold and proud for all to see. The Burj Al Arab evokes all Dubai is – beautiful and glamorous on the outside, ostentatious and tasteless on the inside. Five stars weren’t good enough and so it bought itself seven. Oh how Dubai’s soul is so easy to see.

So it looks like I’m beating Dubai down. I am in a way, but then I’m not. Build it and they shall come isn’t a negative philosophy, but you do have to understand the place in order to visit it. And to understand it means you need to accept huge gulfs in wealth, a hierarchy that is as unfair as it is unjust and an hypercritical government that’s plays an authoritarian role in everyday life. The

place is billed as that lost paradise to those wanting an escape, in a way this is true, but this is also still a place where you will be deported for flipping someone the finger.

Architecturally Dubai is a vision of what man can achieve. Buildings soar this way and that; they meet, they touch, they kiss, they lean. They stand tall and proud and in every colour, size, shape and form. The Sheikh Zayed Road, along with the buildings that line it, wouldn’t look out of place in any major city in the world, and this awesome strip rightly holds its place in the heart of town.

The new Burj Dubai now sits head and shoulders above everything else in the city – proudly wearing its crown as the tallest building in the world, more often than not glinting majestically in the sun, almost as if it knows it is bigger than any other.

Construction, along with reclamation has always been what Dubai is about, or was about, but currently Dubai is stuttering and faltering. It has not escaped the economic downturn and noticeably cranes now stand idle, buildings don’t go up as

quickly as they once did, and there is a loud silence creeping over the place.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say this was a good thing though. It means that Dubai has time to now kick back and take stock. The furious race to get new buildings up has stopped, and the focus has shifted to what Dubai has now, not what it will have some time in the future. Dubai, as a consolidated city can now begin to play catch up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to be introspective.

Dubai, more than anywhere else in the world, has cultivated a social culture based inside. The city, for months of the year, is too hot to be exposed on the streets and so people spend their time at any one of the cities numerous malls, which act as second homes and community centres, Dubaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s malls are designed to perfection ascetically, fitted out with the worlds best retail offerings and all boast restaurants, cafes, hotels and salons as standard. The Mall of the Emirates also has Ski Dubai, which allows you to ski at sub zero temperatures when it is 50 degrees outside, whilst the ice rink at Dubai mall is a spanking new addition to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scene.

Summer aside and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor pursuits come to life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Arabic Souks and gold markets spill out of the alleyways and backstreets of downtown Deira, enticing visitors in, evoking a sense of the real Arabia.

Beaches, both public and private, stretch lazily along

the coastline offering soft sand and warm seas in near perfect temperatures. If its not beach sand but dessert sand that is sought, then there is an abundance of it to be found at any one of the many dessert spa retreats; Bab Al Shams comes highly recommended.

Surprisingly Dubai also has a number of parks and promenades spread around, which serve as a perfect distraction to the frenetic pace of life and the never ending sprawling sand vistas, never before has a place welcomed and needed non indigenous greenery and vegetation as much as Dubai does.

Hotels are the best place for good meals, with outposts of world famous eateries resident within them, Dubai has a good Nobu and also a decent Ramsey restaurant, and these world famous â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;franchisesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, along with many others, are complimented by a raft of wonderful French and Italian places that ooze class and sophistication as well as a whole host of Arabic restaurants that simply have to be sampled. Last year, of course, saw the opening of the Atlantis on the Palm, and the Rhonda Locatelli restaurant housed here is one of the hotter places in Dubai right now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a great place to eat, and a fantastic setting from which to look back at views of Dubai. Hotels also tend to be home to the clubs and bars of the city, and for late night entertainment the best places to head for are the hotels along the coastline in Jumeria, where the

Barasti bar at Mina Seyahi is a great beach bar for sunset views and the Buddah bar at the Grosvenor is good for a few cocktails.

As for the gays, well gaydar is awash and there are 10,000 Emirates crew housed here, so a scene of sorts is thriving and reasonably plentiful - and if what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen going on in some clubs here puts Soho to shame then I am sure that there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too much to base those horror stories from back home uponâ&#x20AC;Śhowever, that said, it is illegal to take part in such activities, so â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;AYORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as the old acronym goes.

Sadly, though, and despite where it looks to be heading at this time of introspection, Dubai is dying. The party is over. Or at least the lights are going out. The place is taking stock and this could now be the last roll of the dice.

People stay, but they think about leaving. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really home anymore. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what it claims to be. There is no â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;get rich quickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; left â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the money has gone. The fairytale is coming to an end, so see it before it goes. Those towers reaching skywards are a symbol of what can be achieved.

What money can buy. But eerily, when the light is right, when the cranes have stopped moving and when there is a silence in the air, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but notice a striking resemblance between the Burj Dubai and the Tower of Babel. I think sometimes that it is just me, but then I look around and wonder perhaps if that is not exactly what this place really has been about all along.

The Nightingale Club Birmingham

This month, Birmingham’s legendary Nightingale Club celebrates forty years of providing a place for gay men to party. 3SIXTY talks to Simon Baker, DJ and manager of the club, and John A Jeffries, one of the founding members.

Way back in 1989, Simon Baker walked into Birmingham’s Nightingale Club and fell in love.

His hero, Tony De Vit, was DJing a blend of 90’s house and Hi-NRG at his Saturday night residency at the venue and Simon, after a few drinks and a few dances, was hooked.

“I loved what the club was all about,” he says.

“So much so that I got very bad A-Level grades as a result of going there all the time.”

Two years later, Tony De Vit moved south to take up residency DJing at the legendary Trade in London, and Simon Baker stepped in as Saturday night DJ. It was the start of relationship between Simon and The Nightingale that still exists today, although nowadays, Simon is club manager as well as DJ. In 2009, people are still falling in love with The Nightingale. As a venue, it offers three floors, multiple bars, a beautiful outside garden (great for smokers) and seriously hi-tech sound and lighting systems. But the key to the success of the venue has to be the entertainment, which ranges from celebrity appearances to Wet ‘n’ Wild stripping competitions. ”Last year we had The Saturdays, Taio Cruz and Alphabeat just as they were hitting the big time,” says Simon. “We pitch ourselves as a kind of northern G-A-Y, offering lots of well-known pop acts and pop sounds, as well as more credible music upstairs.”

One very noticeable aspect of The Nightingale is the wide age range that parties there. There’ll be the club kids, fresh on the scene, but there’ll

Simon Baker

The Nightingale in 1987 also be men who qualify for a free bus pass getting jiggy with it on any average Saturday night.

“The Nightingale is a very unique organisation,” says Simon. “The club itself is owned by 450 members – there isn’t a fat cat who sits at the top and creams off all the profits. It’s essentially a private members bar that has turned into a superclub, and has been like that right from the beginning. All the members have the power

to vote in the committee at the AGM and new bosses are voted in every two years, potentially.

It’s a scheme that works; of course there are a lot of politics with people vying for attention but when it works, it works very well.

“Because of the membership, we have people coming to the club who are in their 60s, and although the 18-25 year-olds are our bread and butter, we have people of all ages. I have to put on an entertainment schedule that will appeal to everybody, which makes my job a headache, but also a lot of fun as I can put anything on.”

“Some of the founding members, who helped set up The Nightingale in 1969 are still very much involved in the club. Because of this, it’s very important for us to remember where we came from; The Nightingale holds a lot of memories for so many people – they came out here, they kissed their first people here, they danced and pranced here. They made the big leaps and the big steps at the club, especially in the late 60s and 70s. Even when I joined in the 80s, it was an incredible feeling. People are so passionate about this club, and we want to reflect that.”

This month, The Nightingale celebrates forty years of being a gay venue. Back in 1969, homosexuality had only just been (partially) decriminalised; gay nightlife, even in London, was limited to dingy, backstreet pubs that hid from the glare of a mainly disapproving public.

John A Jeffries (aka ‘jinks’), who joined The Nightingale in 1969 before serving as treasurer for the venue in the late 70s, and is one of origi-

The Nightingale’s famous Wet ‘n’ Wild competition (thanks to www. chrisgeary.com for images) nal 20 who took out Life Membership in 1983, remembers how it all began.

THE NIGHTINGALE CAMP HILL “The Nightingale started life at Camp Hill in 1969 in a terraced property, which basically consisted of two rooms that were being used as an Asian nightspot and restaurant.

“There was nowhere to go back then if you were gay, and public attitudes had yet to change, so the mere fact that these men organised a public place where they could meet up was an incredibly brave move.

“My involvement started off as being responsible for music organisation, mainly using an old jukebox. Then they had a new concept and decided to bring in a weekend DJ and put two turntables in.

“The first members party night was at Christmas 1973 or ’74. All the committee members brought food along with them for the buffet – sandwiches, rolls, cakes, chickens and bloody mince pies! It was a success.”

THE NIGHTINGALE WITTON LANE In 1975, The Nightingale Club moved to a new premises on Witton Lane. “We found out that the Aston Social Club was in financial trouble, so we offered £25,000 for their old club freehold and the offer was accepted.

“The Witton Lane venue opened in April 1975.

It featured our newly installed upstairs bar and

the existing bar on the ground floor. Downstairs, the layout consisted of two alcoves in horseshoe shapes, a small kitchenette. Upstairs, there was a bar, a dance floor, a small stage and a DJ box.

It was decorated with woodchip paper painted chocolate brown with black woodwork. It was very dark; but this was the fashion in the 70s.

“In the DJ box, it might seem laughable now, we had two decks and two tapes, one reel to reel and the other an endless loop player. I designed and had built a custom sound mixer for the club, which could send music and/or voice into either room or both. On the opening night, I turned the microphone on, for the official opening announcement, and Radio Moscow came through all the speakers. The problem was fixed the next day.

“After a while, the Witton Lane club began to lose business, so we had to cut staff costs. We rented a jukebox and commissioned a carpenter to make a fold away dance floor, which meant that we could open as a dance club and only use the downstairs area, meaning that we didn’t have to pay staff upstairs.

“Another idea was cinema night, a rented projector and a 14ft screen was built. The first film shown was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Half way through we announced an intermission, and we dragged up an usherette who sold ice cream from a tray. It was fun and it as

different. But the club continued to lose business to another club, The Venue, which was phenomenally decadent, and for this reason the club moved to the city centre.”

THE NIGHTINGALE THORPE STREET “We opened Thorp Street in 1981 with £100k in debts – we were broke.

At the official opening of Thorpe Street, we invited Quentin Crisp to do the honours. He sat on a big, oval backed, wicker chair on the stage and hold court and talked about his favourite subject – himself! He spoke at a barely audible level as he would not raise his voice and refused to use a microphone.

“Soon after, we began to have theme parties; the first one was a beach party. We covered the dance floor in tiny polystyrene beads, parked a sailing dinghy on the side of a fake beach. We held a sandcastle building competition. We turned up the heating to 25 degrees, we sold ice creams, and everyone was in swimming costumes. The ceiling was covered with 1000 helium balloons.”

The blueprint for The Nightingale’s now legendary parties was set. The club moved to its current premises, on Kent Street, in 1994, and continues to improve its surroundings (the Club was completely refurbished in the autumn of 2001. The Middle Floor was refurbished in 2005 and the Ground Floor refurbished in 2007).

The Nightingale Club celebrates its 40th birthday throughout April with a different decade every Saturday night.

It’s a love thing how to find yourself a boyfriend

A

ccording to the annual Gay Men’s Sex Survey, which talks to more than 14,000 guys per year, the majority of gay men are either in a relationship or want to be in one.

Contrary to popular stereotypical depictions of gay men – which generally portray us as sexually promiscuous, selfish, free and easy sluts unable to fall in love or allow ourselves to be loved in return – it seems that deep down, we actually want to be in long-term, stable relationships.

Gay men are changing; it’s fair to say that we’ve always wanted to be loved, but with the media showing increasingly more positive images of gay men (although this is still disgustingly low), and the introduction of equality legislation – specifically civil partnerships – we are learning that we can maintain a partnership and even – gulp – stay faithful.

The gay men’s health charity GMFA has been working with thousands of gay men for years on how to improve their sexual and emotional lives, running courses ranging from How To Stop Smoking to How To Build Your Confidence to How To Get The Sex You Want. One of their newest courses is Get A Boyfriend.

“Some guys think they’re unlucky in love, but getting a boyfriend isn’t just down to luck,” says GMFA’s Barrie Dwyer, who wrote the course. “This training gives men knowledge and skills that will help them decide what they want from a relationship, and how to go about getting it.

“One major part of the course is to break down the myths of gay relationships – we’re told constantly that gay relationships don’t work, that they’re unnatural. I mean, how many times have you heard someone say ‘a gay relationship is measured in dog years’?

Gay men, Barrie tells us, generally rush into relationships.

Couples come to him for advice about a huge range of topics, such as a decision to stop using condoms or plan a civil partnership. “I ask them how long they’ve been together and they say, ‘three weeks’. We think that once we’ve found one, we need to pin them down or it won’t last.

“What most men need to learn is how to be honest from the start of a relationship. But, unfortunately, we’re not usually open about these things. It would be great if we could all learn to say, ‘if you want to be with me that’s great, but if you don’t let me know and we’ll sort something out’. What we tend to do is hold on to them tight, saying ‘ok I’ve got you and you’re mine now’ and threaten that we’ll make their life hell if they

“If you say to someone ‘what do you want from a relationship’ they’ll say, ‘tall, dark handsome’, but if you ask what they want from a mobile, they can reel off a list of features. We still, for some reason, think it’s weird to write down exactly what we want from a relationship.” ever leave us.”

But what about open relationships?

“Lots of gay men talk about shagging around when in a relationship, but usually it’s the case that one partner asked to have the open relationship and the other is going along with it, and not very happily. I mean, what does an open relationship really spell out to you? ‘I’m not sexually interested in you anymore; your dick is not big enough, your ass isn’t tight enough, I don’t fancy you anymore, but I still want to live in your house, I still want you to pay for half of my bills, and I like having a car that you own to use at the weekends’. That’s the experience that I hear again and again, sadly.”

How does the course help gay men to find partners?

“What we can do is teach people how to look at themselves

and their lifestyle. For instance, one of the main problems men seem to have about not finding about a boyfriend is that they’re not meeting the right people. If you say to someone ‘what do you want from a relationship’ they’ll say, ‘tall, handsome, nice to me’; but if you ask what they want from a mobile, they can reel off a list of features. We still, for some reason, think it’s weird to write down exactly what we want from a relationship. The course breaks it down into different things: who you are and what you want; what are you really like – do you get up early and go for a jog or does it take a crowbar and 15 cups of coffee to get you out of bed in the morning? Once you have an understanding of yourself, you can understand what you want and, crucially, what’s going to piss you off.

“A lot of people who we speak to about what they’re not satisfied with when it comes to relationships say that they dislike the fact that they meet people who all seem to have an alcohol problem. But then I ask them where they meet people, and they say ‘in bars’. I suggest it may be useful to expand where you look to meet people.

“We also discuss whether you’re actually ready for a relationship. Are you still hankering after your ex? Does everyone that you hook up with now look a bit like your ex? Are you trying to replace him? Do you still need to spend some time alone to get over him? Then, we look at what you want – is it going to be monogamous or open? Are you going to live together or do you need your own space? You can’t control what’s going to happen in your life, you can only control your reaction to it. If you have more awareness before you start a relationship, you’re less likely to have problems later on.

“What you need to know is what you want in a boyfriend, and none of that is physical. We don’t need to know we want a six-foot guy with a 15 inch penis, it’s not about that, it’s about personality. What kind of emotional level do you want to talk about, what do you want to do together. And then we look at whether you’re compatible – is what you want attainable or are you setting goals that are too high so you’ll be the poor little boy who sits in the corner going ‘poor me’ all the time. Or, are you going out there putting your best effort into what you want to do? It’s often about avoidance – would you want to be the person who does all the work or do you want to be the person who people comes over to? Nobody wants to be the ugly sister, everybody wants to be the person who is found.

But perhaps it’s time to get out there and do it for yourself.”

Ship-shape and Bristol fashion!

We all need a break from our own towns occasionally and what could be better than a trip to the wild, wild West?

Beautiful Bristol, just three hours drive from Brighton and a scant two hours from London, is the perfect destination if you yearn for a weekend of fun in an exciting new location. Bristol has undergone something of a renaissance in recent times, with the opening of the multi-million pound Cabot Circus shopping centre shooting the city into the top ten destinations in the UK. Brizzle, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known by locals, also has some of the most stylish hotels to be found anywhere in the country and a thriving gay scene which has grown hugely in the last year.

READING THE STARS/COMPETITION

GAVIN CROMWELL’S

GJP:?@: Celebrity Readings CHRIS MOYLES I sense there is a very rewarding time coming up for Chris. I feel he will do himself, his family and fans proud with some remarkable personal achievements. Healthwise, I see him losing quite a lot of weight; sorry to all those chubby chasers!

I feel he is taking on a lot of responsibilities at work and it could start to affect his health. I also pick up on some family stresses, with the name ‘Reg’ jumping out of this reading. Whoever he is, he seems very supportive and likes to be around Chris.

Finding his own path will do Chris well.

This could well involve solo projects that he is working on that won’t have anything to do with his radio presenting job.

I feel a well known celebrity will open their heart to him, revealing a shock decision that will surprise the public. Also, paranormal activity will present itself to Chris when he least expects it, and this could lead to more personal interest in ghostly happenings. These experiences will give Chris a lot of answers he is looking for.

KATE WINSLET Kate is one of the hottest names in Hollywood right now; I know this as I’m doing this reading from the States! I need her to pay a lot of attention to her dad, as I feel his health could become a little delicate which will really shake her up.

On a lighter note I feel she is about to be asked to perform in her dream role and 2009 will see Kate upping her game even more. Receiving an Oscar has changed her life around dramatically and I feel just before she won the award a new healthy load of confidence has been bestowed on her. Kate is feeling much more at peace with herself and I feel she has battled a lot of personal demons that are now starting to disappear.

I’m seeing a lot of travel in Kate’s reading, as she moves between homes and places of work, which may affect her close, loving, family unit. One of her children is going to prove to be very gifted and creative, just like Kate, and will also show signs of spirituality at a young age.

DANNII MINOGUE I think Dannii will be getting an irresistible offer to stay on as an X Factor judge in 2009. Whether she does it or not is another matter (after being somewhat over shadowed by the fabulous Cheryl Cole). I sense that she will take the offer from Simon as she is not one to be beaten down easily; she will have a revamp of image and personality this time though!

I sense there is some restlessness for Dannii at the moment; she wants to get back on the stage once again.

Something tells me after her sister’s past health issues she sees life being too short to give up on anything too soon.

Dannii’s personal life will come under some speculation later this year, causing some aggravation.

An incident that involves important papers that must be signed will go in her favour and I see her taking a personal relationship to the next level.

During Dannii’s reading ‘The Empress’ tarot card came out, which depicts a pregnant woman…

GAYWEDDING Y SHOWSAREGOGOGO Designer Civil Partnership Show - London 1st March 2009 The Gay Wedding Shows for 2009 kicked off in London in March with the Designer Civil Partnership Show (from the people behind the hugely successful Gay Wedding Shows). Now in its sixth year, the first show of the year, in London, was a great success with some of the best exhibitors around, more than 200 people attending, and the launch of a new guide to getting married: Civil Partnership - A guide to the Perfect Day, written by the Merianos.

“We like to thank everyone at the show for supporting us, the exhibitors, the Andaz Hotel, the gay press and all the couples that came along to make their day special,” said Gino Meriano.

After six years of exhibiting, The Gay Wedding Show is known for its underone-roof guide to a successful civil partnership. In one venue, you can choose your wedding invitation, find a registrar, get gushy over wedding rings, check out floral arrangements, book photographers, decide on a cake, and, well everything you need.

Three Gay Wedding Shows are currently planned for the rest of 2009: Cardiff, on Sunday 4 October Manchester on Saturday 18 October Brighton on Sunday 15 November www.gayweddingshow.co.uk

3SIXTY’S SUMMER OF LOVE

WIN!WIN!WIN THE COMPETITION STARTS HERE! 3SIXTY is launching its Summer of Love this month with a nationwide search to find Britain’s longestrunning gay couple - with some fantastic prizes for the winning pair. “We know that there are lots of gay couples out there that have been in incredibly longlasting relationships,” says 3SIXTY publisher Tony V. “We want to prove that gay couples enjoy long, happy relationships in exactly the same way as straight people do. And in a culture that is often accused of focussing on youth, we decided we’d highlight gay couples

92-93 Psychic Comp.indd 93

whose partnerships have stood the test of time.”

All couples from the LGBT community are eligible to enter the competition, and the eventual winners will be the entrants who can prove they’ve been together the longest. Prizes for the winning pair include a stay at Brighton’s luxurious MyHotel, a case of Pink Elephant wine, a three-course dinner for two at the Pitcher and Piano restaurant, a commemorative CD featuring audio by the couple and a £500 voucher from bespoke jeweller Michael Rose.

One of the most exciting parts of the prize is a 15minute professionally produced and recorded radio show by Faux Show, which will record your story, present it in a real news story-style documentary and include vox-pops comments from a friends and family. You will be able to keep this on CD forever!

If you’d like to enter or nominate someone you know, get in touch now by emailing readers@3sixtymag. co.uk, calling 08706 201 360 or writing to 3SIXTY’s Summer of Love, 4 Steine Street, Brighton, BN2 1TE

Fresh, funky and affordable:

The Pitcher & Piano

The Pitcher & Piano brand has come a long way since first emerging in London in 1986. Now boasting more than 20 bars nationwide, it’s growing rapidly, and hasn’t lost sight of its mission statement: to create a chain of venues which offer good service, food and drink at reasonable prices and an individual atmosphere. Each bar is designed to fit in with its host town or city, taking in the surroundings and attitude of the region.

On of P&P’s latest additions is the Pitcher & Piano Brighton, which nestles under the beautiful Queen’s Hotel, right on the seafront, and overlooking Brighton Pier. Great for people watching, the restaurant area is comfortable and large, with an open kitchen area that allows you to see what’s being prepared, which certainly whets your appetite.

“One of the things we wanted to achieve with this venue is freshly prepared food at affordable prices,” says venue manager Duncan Tarell. “You won’t find any of that ‘boil in the bag’ rubbish here, we have highly skilled chefs who prepare food to order.”

People, Duncan tells us, are making more informed choices about where – and what – they eat than ever before, and due to the current climate are keen to be able to source fresh, healthy food that won’t break the bank.

“We’re one of the few places where you can get really good food at just £5, presented beautifully and with a high standard of service,” Duncan continues.

“The feedback that we’ve been getting from customers has never been more positive.

“The Brighton venue really captures the diversity of the city at its best; Pitcher and Piano Brighton offers a mixture of fresh cocktails, an extensive range of wines and varied menu including fresh local seafood.”

The full menu offers such tantalising dishes as Chicken & Chorizo Skewers (£3.95 starter) or Bruschetta with sun-dried tomatoes (£3.75 starter) or Chargrilled rump of lamb with couscous (£9.25 main) or garlic mussels (£7.50 main), or for vegetarians, aubergine’s stuffed with mozzarella and tomatoes (7.95 main), and a range of desserts (chocolate brownie’s go down a treat at £4.50).

And if you’re there on a weekday, all dishes are £5 each, including a nonalcoholic drink (T&Cs apply), from noon to 3pm.
