NIGHTCLUBBG: GAY CLUBBG ’70S LONDON

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.

His Dick’s Inn Gay Dis operated out of straight venu as far afield
 as Croydon, Ilford, Bishopsgate and Eton, packg a few hundred gay boys and girls at a time.

DO GAY PEOPLE GO TO HEAVEN?

Wh his pop and soul mic reviews and dis chart Gay News, Tricky Dicky received verage om a gay prs more terted polics, cema, theatre and opera than the mercial gay 1975 Tricky Dicky held a one-nighter lled Fangs unrneath a hotel Paddgton and, much to his surprise, the place was full to pacy, wh 600 dancg queens 
lappg up every mute. 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. Meanwhile, Chris Hill DJ’ed at so-lled “New York gay dis” nights such as Wt End Affair at Crackers Soho and East End Affair at the Lacy Lady Essex.

Adams Leicter Square was another Wt End gay club playg all the latt dis sounds. Lus then went back to Earls Court to take his rincy at the Copabana, a much-need large club for the area, then still the hub of London’s gay scene, givg the regulars of The Colherne and Bromptons pubs some late-night actn.

But took the arrival 1978 of the Embassy Club Bond Street to really brg an element of glamour to the gay dis scene. Jeremy Norman, chairman of historil high-society gui Burke’s Peerage, was spired to open The Embassy after numero trips to New York clubs, where the openns and signer dg-fuelled liftyle of the cy’s flourishg gay life ntrasted wh London’s parochial feel (you uld still get banned some venu for sniffg poppers). 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. At s time of openg, Heaven was the biggt gay club Europe, markg Norman’s attempt to extend his Embassy achievements while retag a re gay crowd. The key figure on the cks was Ian Leve, who as rint DJ at the Blackpool Mec had been at the heart of the Northern Soul scene, broang s rem to embrace dis after wnsg New York gay clubs on trips Stati huntg rare soul.

Leve was among the first on the gay scene to tly embrace mixg, keepg the tempo steady and puttg paid to the Motown medleys monplace at Bang, Copas or Sndals. Heaven’s attractns may have been s mic and lights, but s prime purpose was for cisg and Norman was termed to prevent straight punters om takg over, enforcg a rigoro gay men-only door policy.

HEAVEN, THE GAY ULTRADIS - AND THE STORY OF TERRY HIGGS

The London Eveng Standard, reviewg Heaven’s openg night, liberated: “Heaven’s biggt headache uld be terrg London’s non-gay disphil who uld end up tryg to pass for gay to get past the elegant bouncers at the dis’s equivalent of the Pearly Gat. Gay dis, Boystown or hi-energy (named after Evelyn Thomas’s h of the same name), beme the soundtrack to the clone scene that took over Heaven and gay Earls Court.

By the 1980s, the mercial gay scene was takg off and dis fell out of favour as electronic, hi-energy sound took hold. I remember Heaven "ALL TOO WELL" - I hadn't e out, but, I had a uple of gay iends, was the ary and statned Michigan (Detro Area).

DANCE PRI: THE GAY ORIGS OF DANCE MIC

A goodlookg,, cleancut BOY, that had a PHINE ASS boyiend who was my first, and who wound up livg wh me (or we livg together) relatnship was tght me so much about the stabily of the "gay-life" and how v dus uld/would be and, back to heaven! The qutn of whether gay people go to heaven or hell is much discsed today, and there is nfn surroundg the issue.

On one si are church that teach that homosexualy is blsed by God. On the other si are church that nmn all homosexual thoughts and actns as servg of eternal judgment. Is beg gay a ticket to heaven or hell?

When we ask if gay people go to heaven or hell, we may be g the label gay rather than nsirg the dividual who may be stgglg wh temptatn or nfed about his or her sexual inty. For the purpos of this article, we will fe gay as “practicg a homosexual liftyle.

Those who practice sexual s, cludg homosexualy, are on that list.

Gay people go to eher heaven or hell on the same basis that dnkards, liars, haters, and self-righteo church people go to eher heaven or hell. And there is no qutn that homosexual acts are displeasg to Him, jt as heterosexual s is displeasg to Him. If we sist on livg a gay liftyle, as if beg gay was our inty, we are turng our backs on Christ’s sacrifice.

GAY MIAMI

Do gay people go to heaven? Maybe you haven't heard of him, pecially if you're Amerin, but perhaps you've heard of Heaven, the legendary London gay club (Andrew Hollghurst brgs to life vividly The Swimmg Pool Library, one of my favore novels).

Ian was the ma DJ there through the entire eighti, pneerg the style of 1980s gay post-dis club mic—which we associate often wh The Pet Shop Boys, Bronski Beat and Erasure— that me to be lled Hi-NRG. He wrote and produced the super-gay Hi-NRG hs "So Many Men, So Ltle Time, " wh s licly early-eighti-gay vio full of actual gay men om Los "High Energy".. ) So when someone suggted I reach out to Ian to terview him, I knew we'd have some shared passns, as I ed to DJ myself and am a huge history of every sgle phase of dance-mic and DJ history—pecially the gay aspects.
