How London’s gay scene travelled om the unrground to Heaven a few short years" name="scriptn * gay pub london *
There were plenty of unrground gay bars across London, but most of them were domated by whe people, makg Pearl’s bar unique. Before 1976, gay venu London me two tegori. There were the members’ clubs that provid dner and dance, pl baret, for the stately-homo set.
DJ Tricky Dicky was one of the first promoters to grasp the ia of the one-nighter – hirg out a pub or bar for the night, jt to put on a gay night.

The night didn’t last long due to terference om the venue’s owners, who were none too happy about homos takg over their space. 1976 was a groundbreakg year for gay dis London, thanks to the arrival of Bang, London’s first gay superclub.
Gary London, already rint at the Sundowner on straight nights, took his spiratn for Bang om the big gay clubs of New York, LA and San Francis. For London’s scenters and disphil, a trip to Bang s early days, wh s vastns and hedonistic dis energy, uld be as liberatg as gog on a Gay Pri march (whose numbers those days were srcely bigger than a Bang crowd). Speakg at the time Gay News, London proselytised for the newly overground clubs: “Diss create the right environment for gays.

Legendary gay dis DJ Talullah, who up until his untimely ath 2008 was still DJg London and abroad, had first-hand experience of New York dis at s height. Talullah ttified to Bang’s unifyg effect on the gay unrground.
However, the number of smaller gay diss that thrived durg this perd proved that Bang certaly didn’t have the monopoly on hedonism or dis. The Rabow Dis, hoed unrneath the Rabow Rooms Manor Hoe, was advertised Gay News as playg all the bt Amerin soul and funk, but also boasted dis mic on the playlist.

The Embassy was signed for an upmarket, mostly gay clientele who wanted somethg ls provcial and clstrophobic. The Embassy was immortalised the vio for Sylvter’s “You Make Me Feel Mighty Real, ” but ultimately s populary was s downfall, as the upmarket straight crowd outnumbered the gay element.
