News and Reviews: 23rd September 2011
22 Sept 2011.I went to two events tonight.
First was 7.30pm to 9.30pm for the 21st birthday of Vintage Books at Ognisko Restaurant,55 Exhibition Road,London SW7.A massive party in this elegant listed building for over 300 people with connections to Random House Publishing.Lots of their authors here and a nice surprise to see Pink Floyds David Gilmour.Free
champers,beers,wines and shots here for all.
Lots of yummy food inc buckets of oysters.
Everyone got a goodie bag of a couple of books from the Vintage Collection.
then
10pm to 11.30pm was the relaunch of The Cuckoo Club,Swallow Street,London W1.A few years ago this was one of the hottest clubs in London but it has gone off the radar a bit with places like Mahiki getting their teeth into the posh young crowd.I even saw Guns And Roses play a secret gig here that started at 4.30am.It only holds 200.
I chatted to an up and coming singer called Georgie Rose who has an impressive self financed video up on youtube called "Live In The Moment".
No celebs here as such but a friend said Princess Beatrice turned up after midnight.A lively party crowd with free cocktails and fish and chips for all.
