The London Gay Symphony Orchestra will be bringing you an ever so handy post-Gay Pride Parade hangover tonic on 30th June. It promises steamy Brazilian rhythms, some jazz and some French romanticism-inspired pieces (yeah us neither but let’s give high brow a chance shall we?)

Everyone has totally lost it for the Daft Punk super-smash-hit single 'Get Lucky' but we're not sure why: yes, it's nice and bouncy but it's very much an Earth Wind and Fire b-side with a bit of Kool and the Gang sprinkled on top. Obviously, those people who would normally sneer at disco have been able to pretend this is much cleverer than that because it's European, produced by robots from the future and has an artsy video. On the other hand, it does have Nile Rodgers of the mighty Chic on it. Well, if you liked it, you might be interested to hear about the album Random Access Memories. On the other hand, you might not.

One of these statements is true: 1. Musicals are robust, understated affairs reserved for the broodingly masculine among us. 2. The Sound of Music is coming to Regent’s Park. If you can guess which one is correct then we have a feeling you’ll be interested in heading down to the glorious, enchanting setting of Regent’s Park’s Open Air Theatre in July. Maybe with a picnic.

The signs are not looking great for The Great Gatsby, due for release (quite a few months late, mark you!) this Friday, or Thursday if you have any of those special screening-type cinemas near you. On the up side, it comes from Baz 'Moulin Rouge' Lurhman, probably the gayest straight man to ever come out of wherever it is he came out of, and has Carey Mulligan in it. On the downside, it comes from Baz 'Australia' Lurhman and has Leonardo DiCaprio in it (oh, come on! As an actor, the man is a joke. As a pillowcase, the man is a joke).

Here she is, Bonnie 'Total Eclipse' Tyler, giving a full-throated rendition of 'Believe in Me', the song she hopes will take her to Eurovision glory at Malmo in Sweden this Saturday. But, let's be honest, she has her work cut out and cut out real good. The favourite is Denmark following last year's Swedish victory with 'Eurphoria', a song you could actually listen to. Ears out for Germany, by the way, who are putting forward dance act Cascada with a song that sounds just a couple of notes short of 'Eurphoria'. Even the authorities have been alerted.

You can tell we mean it because we capitalized, and exclamation-ized. Now for the important information:

It's RAW, the artisan wine fair, in *checks notes* a week and a bit, and we're already slipping off our designer-imposter chair in anticipation.

It was a hands-down, skirts-up, smash-hit success on a scale even the organisers (us!) dared not hope for. It was the Pop-Up Gay Lounge, a sophisticated Saturday night out where gay gentlemen of a homosexual persuasion could relax, drink proper dirty martinis or other drinks of their choice, sit, hear themselves think, chat without needing to shout, maybe play a (very long - well, most of us are out of practice, aren't we?) game of billiards. And it's back on 1st June at the very popular Eight Club in Bank.
