EASTER DISCOTEC
Discotec is back! The much-missed gay club is returning for a one-off Easter special on Thursday 5 April (the night before Good Friday bank holiday). It will take place in the gorgeous Brixton Club House – with the weather just about warm enough for us to hope for the outdoor terrace to be in use. With or without the terrace, the venue boasts two floors to explore, with dancefloors sure to be busy thanks to the sounds being laid down by Marron Bitch (aka DJ Fidel), Femi B, Guy Williams, Slamma and Jeffrey Hinton. Doors will open at 10pm and close at 4am with admission just £5 before midnight and then £10 after. You’ll find the Brixton club house at 467- 469 Brixton Road, London SW9 8HH. For more details, check the Facebook page at ‘discotecclub’.
EASTER EXTRAVANGANZA
The team at the Orange Group in Vauxhall will offer an unbeatable three nights of Easter entertainment. They have pulled together several promotions to offer an all-encompassing ticket to their ‘Big Easter Weekend’ allowing entry to three big parties. Beyond Midnight Xlsior Pre-Party, Sat 7 April, midnight till noon (Sun 8 April) at Area on Albert Embankment will feature 12 DJs and act as an official warm-up for the huge Xlsior Festival in August 2012 (
www.xlsior.gr). It is followed by WE London T-Dance on Sun 8 April from 6pm till 2am at the Coronet Theatre in Elephant & Castle –

MZZ KIM’S SOHO PROFILE
Singer and performer Mzz Kimberley is well known for her Sunday afternoon lunch sessions at the Cambria in Camberwell. Now she’s added yet another string to her bow, with a weekly early evening Wednesday residency Profile Bar in Soho. The show time starts at 7.30pm prompt, with Mzz Kim offering her own bluesy take on classics by the likes of Billie Holiday and Etta James. Regular guests take a turn on stage (with fabulous performance artist Pustra Muse on 4 April), while Mzz K winds up the evening with some more gospel- oriented numbers to leave you on a high. You’ll find Profile at 84-86 Wardour Street, W1F 0TQ. If you want to guarantee a good seat or reserve your own booth, call 020 7734 3444.
SUMMER RITES
Following the success of last year’s event, it’s been announced that Summer Rites is set to return to London this summer. Older readers may know that the boutique LGBT festival first appeared in the late 90s, before disappearing at the turn of the new century. The organisers took a decade-long break before resurrecting the event last summer. They’ve announced that the one-day event will return on Sunday 2 September to Shoreditch Park, Islington, from noon-10.30pm. A line-up of participating clubs and performers will be released on 29 March 2012. Limited £10 super advance discount tickets will then go on sale on 1 April! Tickets, and further information from the website of Facebook page.
