Diary of a Club Promoter!




At the time of writing this piece there is only 11 weeks until Christmas and 12 weeks until the most overrated party of the year, New Year Eve!

I cannot believe how quickly this year has gone already, it only seems like yesterday when I was dressed like a goblin for last year’s Halloween monster ball and here is it again, my fake blood and my elf hat are being dusted off ready again.

Halloween in my opinion has to be the best party of the year. It always amused me when we hold a really exclusive party and everyone is dressed up in blood and has fake guts coming out there faces and yet they are still being denied entry for wearing shoes!

Aside from this there is a real atmosphere and less pretentiousness (once you make it past the velvet rope!) when you have a bogey stuck to your cheek and everyone just gets together and has a good time like the olden days.

Fancy dress parties are hard to come by these days and very rarely do I get invited to one, I suppose the king of fancy dress parties goes to Philip Sallon who to this day holds the most flamboyant parties even Elton John would feel out of place at. I have been fortunate to attend some of these parties and the theme I have been informed of have included: Illegal Immigrant, Bad Taste, Blue and dictators!

I suppose the reality is certain clubs have an “image” to maintain but if it were up to me everyone could party as a chicken if they wanted too.

I have been busy partying with various celebs right through alphabet from A-list to Z-list this month namely Usher being the main man where I caught up with him after his X-factor performance at Boujis on Sunday. He is in town with Kanye West and P-Diddy will be down at the end of the month after performing in Glasgow.

Most fun though has to go to Brian and JJ from Big Brother who turned No5 Cavendish Square into a rave wearing big luminous specs and ordering massive bottles of Moet! I am also organizing Ben from this year’s Big Brother (the really posh one!) who will be holding his very own flamboyant eccentric party at the club towards the end of the month so watch this space, this could very well be the opportunity for me to get dressed up I have been waiting for! Be sure to not find any pictures in upcoming issues however...

If anyone is holding a fancy dress party this month then please send me all your pictures and I will try and feature you in next month’s issue for the best outfit!

Louise Spence Birthday at Chinawhite!






Louie Spence and Jason Gardiner have fun outside ChinawhiteWatch out world, here comes the male equivalent of every single Loose Women presenter out on the lash (and he doesn't even drink) - Louie Spence of Sky One's 'Pineapple Dance Studios' fame (who you may also recognise from his recurring cameo role on Harry Hill)...

Louie celebrated his 41st birthday at Chinawhite yesterday and despite rumours that Kate Moss was vying for an invite (any excuse to get spangled) we couldn't spot her stumbling out of the club clinging onto Jamie Hince. But Louie didn't mind, as he was busy being welcomed into the wonderful world of celebrity by the other famous guests who did attend, such as er, Emma Bunton, her boyfriend Jade from former boyband Damage, Dave Gardner, Jason Gardiner (pretending to take Louie from behind ^) the Big issue seller from the Sunday Sport party and Donna Air.Here's a taster of Louie in action - you're all going to love him!



DENIED! CLAIRE SWEENEY but JACK TWEEDY LET IN!!

    She had got all dressed up in an on-trend Herve Leger bandage dress and her hair was a flowing mane of curls.

Her manicure was flawless and she was showcasing the type of beautiful jewellery that only the famous are privy to.

But as far as celebrity hotspot Mahiki is concerned, Claire Sweeney just doesn't cut the mustard.

Claire Sweeney

Outraged: Sweeney appeared to launch into a rant to her companion after she was rejected by door staff of London club Mahiki

Because as she got to the door of the London nightclub, instead of being welcomed inside and given the VIP treatment, she was turned away and had to retreat to her taxi.

And the 39-year-old ex-Brookside actress was clearly not amused by the rejection.

Gesturing while talking to her companion, Sweeney appeared to be furious the night wasn't going to plan.

Claire Sweeney

Unbelievable: The Loose Woman marched back to her taxi in disbelief to make other plans

Meanwhile, a worse-for-wear looking Jack Tweed strolled up to the door with a friend and by the looks of things has a marvellous evening in the club, frequented by Princes William and Harry.

In a pale blue denim shirt, beige trousers and white Converse trainers, the 23-year-old widower of reality star Jade Goody had evidently made less effort with his appearance than Sweeney.

Come on in: Jack Tweed and a friend spent the night enjoying all that the celebrity hotspot has to offer

However, the door staff clearly favoured Tweed's calibre of celebrity over the presenter's - a decision he must have been pleased about.

Leaving the club in a taxi, he looked tired out and ready for bed.

Let's hope Sweeney found somewhere else to go that gave her the type of welcome Mahiki gave Tweed.

Worse for wear: Leaving in a taxi the widower of reality star Jade Goody appeared to be ready for bed
