BOOTYLUSHOUS
Cocteau Lounge, Ego, Edinburgh. Sun 11 May
MINGIN AHOY
Meet at end of London Road, around the corner from Planet Out, Edinburgh, 7pm, Sat 17 May
It‘s been a year since club Lush decided to take a break, leaving a gaping hole in the clubbing weekend. Thankfully. DJs Dale Wilkinson and Craig have decided to return with a funkier version called Bootylushous (said in your best Beyoncé accent, of course).
Sunday night is set to provide your weekly dose of R&B, soul and funk, which according to Wilkinson has been lacking on the gay scene. They are aiming for an intimate, party vibe where your mates come with you, then their mates arrive along with a few more mates and you all have a funky old time. The classic oldies such as Aretha Franklin and Jocelyn Brown will be blasting out as will modern Bootylushous babes in the shapely forms of
Destiny’s Child and J‘Lo.
Meanwhile, the clubbing institution that is Mingin’ is bringing back the annual Mingin’ Ahoy sailing extravaganza. On board the Maid of the Forth, setting sail from South Queensferry at 8pm, there will be the usual Mingin’ suspects, a thumping sound system, a bar and plenty of space to dance or just enjoy the views. Last year there were a few seals spotted out to sea and this year there will be a relationship blessing on board. All this and a bus that takes you back into Edinburgh and drops you at the door of Studio 24 ready for a full on night of Mingin’ clubbing. (Jane Hamilton)
