World AIDS Day Special Charity Fundraisers - Extra Bites




Hey Folks,

With our report “Fight The Good Fight” on World AIDS day due out in the morning to commemorate this very important day in our calendar, we also though we would give mention two special events that take place tomorrow night, both which will be raising funds for this very special of causes that is extremely close to our hearts.

First up is Alex Erfan’s Lovechild club brand, who have joined forces with Athena Contemporary Art to hold an extra special dinner dance evening at the Supperclub in Nottinghill, a nightclub come evening eatery that is contemporary both in design a delivery, the official blurb stating, “...this amazingly innovative & unique experience includes distinctive luxuriant couch dining, exhibition space & a club combined...” this two tiered space actually a sea of white comfort, exuding that word (well words – white & comfort) right across the whole venue. And for that reason alone, the place is well worth a visit, although the main reason will be to support the worthy cause that is N.A.T. (National AIDS Trust), the main beneficiary of this sumptuous social, although part of the proceedings will also be going towards charity event The Wig Party, quoted by Dannii Minogue no less as, “...the most heavenly charity party around...” itself having a corporate who’s who list of fundraisers (Gaydar, L’Oreal, Penguin Publishers, Selfridges & Swarovski to name a few), all underwriting their support & contributions to N.A.T.

With WAD very much in focus at this special fundraiser, what can you expect from this Lovechild/Athena charity dinner & dance? Well, there will be multiple levels of entertainment, from the OBSquare installation artists who will have decorated the club space with their eye catching works or art, through to dance music provided by two of Lovechild’s prolific resident D.J.’s Tony English & Alessandro Londra, then onto the live shows from the outrageously gorgeous Powder Puff Girls, further frolicking & interest coming from performers Ms Vicky Butterfly & Gateaux Au Chocolat (not to be missed), while Chris Chrisalys completes the line-up. As for the dinner, part of the evening, we are told to be pleasantly surprised by both the new Martini Soda aperitif, along with the distinctively different way of dining, all adding to the excitement of this special event. Plus, online scene site Mirror-Balls will be on hand to record the evening for posterity & no doubt trade reviewing duties with us (there’s a challenge).

So, to the all important detail and this Lovechild/Athena Charity Dinner Dance event kicks off at The Supperclub (12 Acklam Rd, Nottinghill – get a cab) with a cocktail drinks reception from 6.30 p.m., with dinner served from 8.30 p.m. & entertainment running throughout, carriages ready to escort you away at the 11 p.m. finish. Entry for drinkers & dancers is by donation, with diner table reservations available either by contacting Viola on 07968 138 531 or bt e-mail to alex@alexerfan.com. Further details of this event can be found via the events pages on Facebook, or by going to http://alexerfan.com/ and 5% of ALL proceeds from the night will go to N.A.T. as will 10% of ANY art sales from OBsquare’s installations which run in The Supperclub throughout December.

But the night is then still young, as back in central London, Profile & Lo-Profile host a special fundraising evening, also in aid of NAT, the event, called “Put It On” run by Gaydar Radio in association with diva songstress, Katherine Ellis, who promise “...a star studded party...”. And, judging by the line up, it is going to be just that as not only will Katherine be performing, but she will be joined by Sam Obernik, Shena & Amanda Wilson, while the music will be masterminded by Gaydar Radio’s Alex Baker & Phil Marriot, Phil no stranger to the venue (Well Profile upstairs) as he resides here each Friday, recording his set live onto the radio stations ClubNation show, plus this dynamic duo will be joined by none other than The Freemasons, who will perform a special set. Add to all that the new lighting installations & effects which have transformed this Soho venue sophisticate, and Lo-Profile should be well & truly pumping from the 9 p.m. start, especially as the whole evening will be hosted by the duo, Sink The Pink, better known as Glitter Sparkles (need we say more?!). Tickets are on sale now priced at £10, which you can get at http://eventelephant.com/putiton, or in person during the day tomorrow at Profile bar, although tickets will be on sale on the door at £12, plus, here’s the best bit, 100% of the door take will go direct to N.A.T.

So, two events well worth attending, not least for the worthy cause they are supporting, The National AIDS Trust, but if you cannot make it across to the Supperclub or down to Lo-Profile, you can still make your own difference in support of N.A.T. by going to their website at http://nat.org.uk/, leaving us to simply say (and more poignant than ever)....”Go There! Be There! "
