Ooh that John Gough is a naughty one - last week he promised, PROMISED to tell us who his mystery Hollywood A-lister is, and he hasn't! He's having too much fun keeping us all in the dark - keep guessing, there are a few more clues this time around. This has to be one of John's busiest weeks yet - he had to leave out a tonne of stuff (it's hard being the View London Guy About Town!), check out his highlights...

I have had the busiest week for quite a while this week, and more than lived up to my Guy About Town tag. Z-list birthday parties, product launches, ex-royalty, dancing on tables in the best clubs - it’s all here this week! …

You must all know by now how much I love festival season. The unique entertainment, laid back crowd and live music never fail to get the old heart pumping. However, I’m not a fan of mud and rain. Shame that. That’s why Lost In Camden appeals. On the 19th July – that’s this Saturday – a brand new event pulls into Camden. Think of it as a Rock n Roll carnival of madness. Awesome.

Held at three of Camden’s most painfully cool venues – Proud Camden, Enterprise and the Monarch …

When you work in our industry you can get a bit blase about new venues opening. Another day, another restaurant, bar or club closes, with somewhere new springing up to take its place before the dust has settled on its grave.

However, I did get excited about Apothecary Bar. This is a new venue opening next door to Egg in Kings Cross, also brought to you by Laurence Malice. Now we first mentioned this new venue all the way back in January (see Is This the End of Kings Cross?) – referring to it as …

I kinda like the idea of being a DJ. Controlling the mood of the crowd with a scratch of a record (as you can tell, I know little about the reality of being a DJ!). Still, it’s a LITTLE harder than it looks. OK, it’s pretty tough to make it in clubland – especially to be recognised by your peers as being any good.

That’s why I’m so excited about the DMC UK DJ Championships (did you manage to make it past all those letters?) – this massive event will be recognising raw DJing talent in the forum of a good, old-fashioned head-to-head battle! It promises to be off the scale as past and present UK champions DJ Skully, DJ Asian Hawk, JFB and DJ Switch face off to win this year’s title. Joining them are Pandamonium, Loop Skywalker, Jeppa, Furious …

This year I’ve written more blogs about clubs closing that, I swear, if I utter the words ‘end of an era’ again I’ll choke on my own tongue. Still, it IS the end of an era (ahem) for G-A-Y as one of the best known and loved club nights departs The Astoria.

Saturday 26th July will see gay and straight guys and gals alike shedding a few tears as the most camp of nights says its final goodbyes. G-A-Y is famed for pulling in huge headline acts – everyone from Kylie (and little sis Dannii) Girls Aloud and the Sugababes to Amy Winehouse and, well, Chesney Hawkes, have graced the Astoria …
