Wednesday 01 October 2025...5pm to 9pm... GRAVITY MAX - showcase - Southside Shopping Centre , Wandsworth High Street , London SW18. This truly massive venue used to be a Debenhams store. It has retro games, 9 hole golf, bowling lanes, e - darts , pinball, shuffle board and many more but the highlight is a stunning indoor e-karting track that runs around the venue over two levels. We get a quick show round , then we have two 8 mins sessions on the karts which was really good . We had half a dozen different complimentary cocktails and prosecco, but there was also wines, beers ,Guinness available...no food. This event was much better than expected. ---------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday 30 September 2025 ....6.15pm to 9.15pm... HARD ROCK CAFE - showcase - Piccadilly Circus , London W1. I went to the big opening launch party for this venue six years ago in Sept 2019 where KEANE performed. They are showcasing their various spaces for hire .From a private room holding 50, to the full venue that can hold 650 standing . Always great to see all the music memorabilia on the walls of the entire venue. Very interesting for me to see the white tuxedo jacket that Sid Vicious wore when he recorded the video in Paris of his hit cover single version of ' My Way'....I presume it is the original? Around 70 or 80 guests here in their Legends private space . A DJ was playing tunes in the background, and we have two dancers in robot costumes....also a magician and mind reader . Complimentary drinks and food included two different cocktails, prosecco, wines, beers and the usual Hard Rock Cafe food of half sized burgers , canapes and brownies . All guests got a goodie bag on departure. -------------------------------------
