AND JOE
“A
padded pleasure zone” Axm
Shaun
& Joe, the luxurious lounge bar & club in
Soho, has earned compliments galore from the press:
“..sophisticated dancing, drinking and dining.”
Gay Times; “..glamorous, glitzy and downright
sexy..” (Evening Standard). The interior,
created by award-winning designer Shaun Clarkson,
is a medley of rich velvets in jewel colours, large
port-hole mirrors and fabric walls studded with
button lights. It offers a unique atmosphere making
it a great Soho rendezvous for early evening or
late night drinking.
It is the brainchild of Shaun Given and Joseph McColgan.

SOME
LIKE IT HOT – IN AID OF STONEWALL
Weekend
of 24th-26th June
If
running sounds a little too energetic and entertaining
is more your style, then Some Like It Hot is the
event
for you. The idea is to organise a fun, enjoyable,
social event in aid of Stonewall, whether it’s
a lavish dinner, a cocktail party, or even a barbeque
for a group of friends. You can charge a fee for
your culinary delights or ask your guests to make
a donation.
Stonewall will help you plan your event with a neat
Host’s Pack filled with handy hints including
party ideas, recipes from celebrity chefs. The event
takes place on the weekend of 24th-26th June (the
anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York)
and there will be prizes for the most unusual party
idea. Some Like It Hot is sponsored by Gay Times,
Diva and Pink Paper. To know more contact Anna on
020 7881 9448 or email somelikeithot@stonewall.org.uk.
