Glasgow Club News
Not content with club promotion, fronting Trade in Glasgow, ex-‘lTF songstress Mary Kiani has gone the whole hog and will open her own club venue - ‘Slave Glasgow‘. She's signed a 25-year lease on the former Hatt Club on Clyde Street, and doors open in the last week of October.
The Slam crew were out in Ibiza recently for Stuart’s stag do and thought that it would be dead funny to put their food and drinks tab on David Morales' bill. Apparently he and his security guards didn't see the funny side and hasty reparations had to be made. Tsk, tsk.
More apologies, this time between Manchester's Paper Recordings and Glasgow's DJ Q over their respective city scenes. After a slanging match in various media, DJ Q passed on a message to the Paper boys when they were up here at the weekend that as far as they were concerned it was ‘all just a bit of banter’ and they apologised by playing four of his
records in their set. (Rory Weller)
