respect - the anti-racist and multi-cultural festival for London
What've you got to show Malibu Ken?

New Soho venue, Shaun and Joe, wishes to prove that Gaylords can be discerning too.

While many labour under the severe misapprehension that 'gay' and style go hand in hand, any tawdry poppers-stenched nightclub suggests otherwise.

The Shadow Lounge is one of the few gay clubs with higher aspirations and Shaun Given and Joe Mc Colgan are hoping to finally provide a competitor.

Their plan has been to create a 400 capacity members club with two dance floors, cocktail bar and a full dinner menu.

Fresh from working as The Shadow Lounge's general manager, Joe is also bringing a bit of insider knowledge with him, which is literally realised in the décor designed by Shaun Clarkson (Pop, Purple and The Atlantic). Plush velvet seating? Check. Disco balls and twinkly lights? Check. Exclusive VIP area? Check.

With Vince Power, Chairman of the Mean Fiddler group hopping into bed - metaphorically speaking - with Shaun and Joe on the project, it looks like it's going to be a winner.
