PFANTASIA
Plantasia Party Night at Wilkie House: 16 Sept, 10pmtill late. £1.50— invitations must be produced on entry but these will be readily available around Edinburgh. A much-needed tonic lorthe post-Festival lull that descends over Edinburgh comes in the shape oi Piantasia, a new club which announces its arrival with a one-oil party at Wilkie House on Friday 16 September.
Organised by Kenneth Brady and Ian Allison, Piantasia has high ambitions, aspiring to being rather more than a standard one-dimensional ailair. To this end. negotiations are in progress with two Edinburgh venues. neither oi which could be described as over-used, to iind a permanent site. The night at Wilkie House serves as an introduction and plans are being laid to produce a warm atmosphere. The music will be predominantly acid house and a host oi guest DJs, including members at the Armoury 89 Sound System from London, Peter and Julian from Acid. Colin from Spanish Harlem and Alan Campbell. are lined up. A ‘mind-blowing' lightshow and dancers are also promised to fuel the good—natured ambience.
Plantasia promises to be a worthwhile venture. so lookout ior invitations. Details of its permanent
home and oi a Beauliiul Contradictions -.
Night-Michael Clark and Phil Dirtbox‘s project which Kenneth and Ian are helping to organise — at a large venue in Glasgow. will appear inthese pages shortly. (Andy Crabb)
