I don’t know about you, but I find October the month we all seem to gear up for Halloween… even though I’ve been accused of looking a bit spooky when Halloween is nowhere on the horizon! Anyway before all that hoo-ha lets see what’s happening this weekend.
Ah, I see they’re having a fundraiser at The Glory (281 Kingsland Road, E2 8AS) on Thursday 8th October. Glory Aid – Refugee Crisis Fundraiser in conjunction with Out There Magazine is pulling together the crème de la crème of performers including Myra Dubois, Baby Lame, Ginger Johnson, A Man To Pet…the list goes on and on. Hosted by Jonny Woo and John Sizzle it all starts at 5pm ‘til late; and don’t forget it’s karaoke Faggy Okay on Thursdays as usual. Charities supported by the event will be CALAID, MIGRANT OFFSHORE AID STATION and REFUGEE ACTION.
