SHAUN AND JOE

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. Shaun & Joe, 5 Goslett Yard, (just off Charing Cross Road) London WC2 .Tel: 020 7734 9858. Click here to view Shaun & Joe's website.

SOME LIKE IT HOT – IN AID OF STONEWALL

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.
