GLASGOW
DUNDEE
Another month has passed us by here
in the wonderful city of Dundee – and what a
month it’s been! Hazell Dean rocked and I
managed to get an interview with her for my
radio show when she’d finished gigging the
Gauger, so thank you Ross and the team for
that – it’s great to see that someone is doing
something positive for the gay scene in
Dundee, and to bring Hazell Dean to the city
was quite a mean feat – I certainly appreciate it! Another person who’s doing positive
things for our scene is Joey Dunn, who’s
just announced the launch date of our very
own magazine for the City of Discovery,
Gossip! And after a whole month of being
out on the lash celebrating my birthday, I’d
planned to stay in for a week or two to try
and recover, but oh no, there’s too much
going on – and you know what they say,
snooze, you lose!
The first date for your diary is 8th May,
Joey will be launching Gossip! - the new
gay magazine for Dundee in Brooks Bar It
promises to be a great night and Joey’s organised some cracking entertainment for the
evening – be there, or be square! Another
night in Brooks that’s going to be a hoot is
21st May, Miss Lexie Lush will be keeping
you all on your toes with her witty banter –
don’t forget, Brooks won’t charge you to get
in to see a drag queen. Nor do Brooks
charge you to see another queen, Queen
Suzie of Karaoke – I’ve been there for the
past few Thursdays, where I’ve had a good
old ripping from Suzie – I LOVE IT! Maybe
one night she’ll manage to get me to sing,
either way, come along – it’s a brilliant night.

Don’t forget to check out Brooks
Karaoke/Quiz nights, there’s always a smashing prize – you
can check out the details on
their facebook page. Just
caught up with Tony from the
Gauger, isn’t he just a ray of
sunshine – I love that boy! As
well as being open everyday
nice and early, check out the
Gauger on the last weekend
of every month, Scarlett Diamonte will be there with DJ
Ross on the decks, and
there’s talk of the Gauger
pub quiz starting in the next few weeks, pub
quiz on a Sun night? YES PLEASE! After
you’ve given your brain a workout, you
might want to check out the new gay night
Sungaze at the Underground. Each week
there’s a different theme – so get your
dressing up boxes dusted down! So far
we’ve had Army, Lady Gaga, Playboy Bunnies and Cowboy/Cowgirl to name but a few.
I’ve not managed to check it out yet – but I’ll
be heading there this weekend – I’ll let you
know how I get on!
Make sure you head to Out Nightclub
on a Wed night – Wicked Wednesdays - and
wicked it is, it’s an absolute steal to get in
and they’ll even hang up your coat for free!
I had a week pub crawl on Thu, went to out
and DJ Jan was there, pumping out all the
best tuneage – what a way to end a drunken
weeknight. Fri and Sat nights are definitely
the busiest nights in Out, DJ Dean on the
decks offering up the BEST music in
Dundee,
if you like your camp/dance/upfront
mishmash, then make sure you make it Out!
If you’re after a wee steam or a workout in
Dundee, then check out Jocks Sauna,
Dundee’s ONLY gay health club, you’ll find
your sauna, steam room, gym and the usual
stuff you’d expect to find in an upmarket
health club – maybe even a wee bit more!
Check out their website,
www.jockssauna.co.uk for their latest
offers and happenings.
As always, if you can’t be good, be
careful, and if you’re looking to talk to
someone, meet new people – check out
Diversitay – Dundee and Tayside’s LGBT
group, www.diversitay.org.uk, and look out
for the Hepatitis Information Bus, it’ll be in
Dundee on 18th May at the Caird Hall from
2pm, offering you advice, support and information about Hepatitis.
For another month, over and out!
Hell's bells I am back again, so fed up
of the sound of my own voice and inane
ramblings at the moment and to be honest
you don’t help much. Here I am pouring my
heart and thoughts out and there is you,
doing your Silent Bob routine as per bloody
usual… I honestly don’t know why I bother
with you sometimes! Only joking, you know
I love you. Also you now know I tell lies and
talk to myself. Anyhoo back to the main
focus as to keep the men in white coats
away from the door. Glasgow gay scene as
always is kicking and whilst we are indeed
warming up for our Pride there are still
plenty of goings on to keep you well going!
Starting off with something brand
spanking new for the ladies... Ruby Fruit is a
new alternative gay night for women here in
Glasgay, it’s a club night in The Flying Duck
at 124 Renfield Street and is a female only
environment 9pm-3am on the 30th of May
which is promising a host of uplifting tunes
ranging from soul through to dance music
from the sixties! Tickets on the door are £6
but if you E-mail: [email protected]
then you can get in for a very reasonable £4
leaving you more money for drinks at the
bar which is always a good thing.
Also a good night to be attending is
Passionality at FHQ which is on John Street
and upstairs from Speakeasy each and
every Mon night with drinks being served
for your pleasure from £1 and cocktails
from £1.99. Bargain. And remember it’s only
free entry before Midnight and after that is
£3 or £2 with a flyer. Get your passes from
Speakeasy from 9pm! DJ Jamie who is
Miss Shivey
[email protected]
always popular and one of my personal
favourites to drunkenly demand songs to is
cranking out the tunes so don’t be boring
and pop along. In the same venue every
Wed is Foreplay for girls upstairs in FHQ and
Foreplay for boys downstairs in Speakeasy
which is kind of the pre-warm up for my
good mate DJ Darren's night in Play which
begins afterwards and is still dragging in
bring crowds with different themes each
week and great drink promotions. Sat in
Speakeasy means DJ Devine time and the
night Gayface with the tagline ‘Get your
gayface on’….Now I'm not too sure exactly
how I go about doing that but it sounds like
good fun and ye ken me I’m willing to give
anything a bash after I’ve had a few!
Ah Delmonicas - the original bar
stomping ground. Open all day every day
with great drinks prices and a great varied
crowd and thee best bar staff. Though I
never did figure out what all the plastic
flying birds are all about? Answers on a
postcard please. Anyhoo they now are
providing Gold and Silver VIP party pods,
get status in your own air conditioned booth
for a birthday,engagement or just a chance
to get wrecked with a tad more privacy and
bling! Contact the bar to book or get more
information and if you book it can you
please invite me!
Worth a mention is that Bennets on a
Fri is now free entry before 11.30pm and
SMS discount after that! Pop in for a bounce
and see some familiar (even if very pished
due to the EXTREMLEY cheap drinks) faces!
There is nowhere like Bennets for a boogie
at the weekend-FACT. But remember the
venue is now open six days a week too so
whenever you feel the need, as always the
Bennets team is there for you! And most
probably me too actually cos I still have not
learned when to get the fuck home! See the
husband for more details lol. He’s now fat
AND raging. Happy days.
If you’re looking to be entertained then
the place to be heading down to at the
moment is Merchant Pride who have Ashley
McCulloch crooning all the chart hits every
Fri night from 9.30pm onwards and then on
Sat Barbara Briceland is belting em out from
5-8pm and there’s Karaoke afterwards... Sun
is Robert and May Miller aka the notorious
duo performing away from 5-8.30pm with
Ashley back on doing her thang just after.
I'm winding this up for the month: I'm
totally fecked and I smell like the bins.
Again. Enjoy Eurovision ladies and gents
and keep coming up to say hello and
generally fling things at me if you see me
out and about! Take care.

Hi folks. Please allow me to introduce
myself a wee bit; I work for the Terrence
Higgins Trust in Inverness and love this part of
the world. I just had a weeks holiday and
enjoyed that time up in Sutherland catching up
with a few friends. I played volleyball in a
sunny garden, watched the sunrise near
Tongue (make your own jokes please), went to
the opening of my friend’s photographic
exhibition at a gallery in Tain, helped with
lambing in Lairg and had lunches at two of my
favourite inns too. Spring is trying really hard
to break through up here, but we are still
getting snow showers as I type.
As it’s about time the area had a voice
again, I’m hoping that I’ll be fed all the news
and views by people from across the region so
that I can tell the rest of Scotland what’s going
on in the best part of Britain! Contact me and
tell me stuff!
I’m enjoying working with established
LGBT groups (and individuals too) at our office
and throughout the Highlands and Islands. I
am also setting up much needed new ones,
along with the Equality Network I’ll be helping
to support new groups in Shetland, Orkney,
Lewis, Wick, Elgin, Inverness and Fort-William.
Once they’re up and running they’ll be in the
group listings.
The proactive Rainbow Folk go from
strength to strength and after the success of
the History Month event in Feb we are
planning awareness raising sessions to help
carers better understand the needs of the older
LGBT community. The booklet produced by
the group has proved popular and is being
ordered by care workers agencies and
Caroline
Shaw
[email protected]
independent rest homes alike. Some rather
ground breaking work has also been done with
the Church of Scotland. A few of the Rainbow
Folk have met with a minister and then with
members of the congregation to discuss faith
and acceptance.
The Highland LGBT Forum had their AGM
in March and voted on a few new committee
members with new ideas to add to the great
work that has been done to date. By the next
issue we will let you have some dates for your
diaries for some groovy events in Inverness
and hopefully beyond too. Mike (chair-person)
and I went up to Thurso recently to meet with
the LGBT group there and it was good to hear
what they have been up to and what they are
planning. They seemed to appreciate a visit
and a bit of support and I hope to link them up
with a couple of new northern groups so that
they can perhaps get together from time to
time and all feel less isolated. Mike told them
what the Forum is up to and we discussed the
possibility of all meeting up to travel to
Edinbugh together for Pride Scotia in June.
This April at the THT office we relaunched
a new youth group and myself and Dave
Styles (the foxy THT sessional worker pictured
in the shower!), met some great folk including
a dance teacher who is planning LGBT salsa
classes! Assuming that you have better coordination than me, that’d be a great way to
get fit and meet some new people too. I’ll keep
you posted.
A few of us are eager to see more
Rainbow flags in the windows of shops, cafes,
bars and clubs. My manager had a meeting
with one Inverness bar about LGBT friendly
nights, someone on the forum committee met
with a nightclub about LGBT Thursdays and
Dave has also spoken with lots more pubs (it’s
easy to see where he spends a lot of his spare
time isn’t it?) – and all with good, positive
responses. Dave’s formatted a letter to send
out to businesses that can’t easily be reached
on foot and they’ll be going in the post very
soon. We can collate the information and put it
onto the forum website and print a flyer too so
that visitors as well as locals know where they
will feel comfortable. It’s not quite a ‘scene’
yet, but it’s a start!!
Within the Terrence Higgins Trust we
continue to be very busy; it’s a large
geographical area and we’re lucky to have the
help of some great volunteers – do let me
know if you’d like to join the number. Whether
it’s giving out condoms at festivals, tidying the
stockroom or visiting HIV positive service
users, volunteers make a great difference.
The clinic runs on a Tue evening and our
nurse can test you for HIV as well other STIs.
Call for an appointment; Inverness (01463)
711585. Appointments to see our counsellor
can be made on the same telephone number if
there are any issues relating to sex or sexuality
that you’d like help with. We post out
condoms, lube and dams free of charge so do
let us know if you’d like to receive them on a
monthly basis; E-mail
[email protected] and we’ll let you
know what there is to choose from.
Okay, that’s me for now I think. Enjoy the
spring sunshine and some Mayday madness
and I’ll be back next month.

Is it really May already?? Very much the
month of the year. The media is buzzing with
election fever, and record numbers of young
people are apparently turning out to vote.
We’re all on tenterhooks as to what the result will be on the 6th! And then of course,
May is my own big day – only a few weeks
left ’til marital bliss!!
And here’s what else is going on!
It’s all go at Priscillas this month, with
a plethora of entertainment to keep you all
going! Check out our fab pics attached, from
Priscillas’ Mardi Gras last month. Firstly, on
Sat 8th May they are hosting a Coyote Ugly
evening, with a twist of course! They are
also hosting a Pyjama Party fundraising
night on Sun 16th May, raising funds for the
Moonwalk Charity. And on Sat 22nd May,
drag sensation Miss Scarlett will be performing the best of live vocals and cheeky
humour. They are also starting a ‘mystery
song’ on Sundays with the sexy Lala Hotpants, with the pot standing at £10 at the
moment – increasing by £10 every week
until someone gets the mystery song!!!
Other top news for Priscillas is that DJ
Lynnie and her Monday Pound Club have
now relocated there from Planet. No more
Monday Club at Planet – presumably the
management are cutting costs to pay for
that extra bouncer they’ve had to get in, due
to the Saturday night brawls which were becoming a bit of a regular feature. So Priscillas have stepped into the breach, are
hosting Monday Club and as well as selected drinks for £1, they’re also giving away
free food. Result!! They also have Jamie
hosting karaoke on Tue, and Jamie Lee Morley singing many a tune on his Wed and Thu
karaoke nights.
I had occasion to undertake The
Street’s quiz last month, which was a whole
heap offun hosted by scene fav Trendy
Wendy. Starting at 9pm on Wed nights, it
features 4 rounds including a sensational
music round. And the twist of course is that
the winners get a £50 tab, and the second
prize is a choice of two boxes. We came
second, and our prize was a very nice bottle
of something. A highly enjoyable night I’d
thoroughly recommend! Also fab news for
those (albeit infrequent) sunny nights - The
Street now have a new pavement license. So
one can enjoy an apple Martini whilst checking out the passing talent! And there’s also a
quiz on at Elbow on Tue evenings. Just the
ticket for those wanting to test their grey
matter over a tipple or two.
News at the Regent – they are celebrating CAMRA‘s Mild Month In May with a fewdark mild ales making an appearance over
the next month - Brewer’s Dark from Lees in
Manchester and Thwaites Nutty Black from
Blackburn. Go on, treat yourself! Also, look
out for Caledonian’s Flying Dutchman, a
wheat beer flavoured with coriander, orange
peel and liquorice. Delicious! The Regent
Showcase also returns on Tue 11th May
(8pm-Midnight), an acoustic night featuring
local singer/songwriters.
Alan Joy’s 3rd original JOY Mix (dating
from May 1995) will be on sale at TheRegent and Café Nom De Plume for a bargain
price of £5, with all proceeds going to Pride
Scotia. And don’t forget The World Famous
Regent Bar Quiz hosted by quiz mistress extraordinaire Siobhan and helpers. The best
testing of the grey matter you’ll find on a Tue
evening, get down to the Regent for the quiz
on Tue 25th May. It would be advisable to
get there for 8.30pm as this one fills up very
quickly!!

So all you fame seekers who didn’t
make it through the Glasgow X Factor auditions last month – dinnae fear!! Celebrity
Tackno is here, and your chance for 15
minutes of fame!! So which Celebrity will
you be??? Get down to GHQ on Sun 2nd
May (10.30pm) for this celebrity extravaganza!! There will be awards for the best
celebrity dopplegangers... and plenty of
celebrity scandal. “TACKNO-GATE“ - DJ
Trendy Wendy caught in C D romp shock
story exclusive; Dj bunny in backroom boiler
blunder; In bed with Simon Bowell - Fancy
Nancy tells all! There will be star performances from Laddie Gaga, Paris Pilton &
Susan’s Boyles. Annnnnd!!! enter the circle
of shame with Katie Priceless & Peter Andrex...What a fab night this promises to be!
Advance tickets are a steal at only £6, and
available from GHQ, The Street, Elbow &
Cafe Habana. It’s more on the door! (£7/£8).
Illustrious womens’ night Furburger this month celebrate their 5th
birthday!! It’s been a turbulent 5 years
on our scene, forcing the club night to
relocate several times. But this has not
deterred the Funki Diva or Dejaybird
from bringing the ladies all the aural
stimulation they can handle!! Last
they have, and they have carved a
name for themselves as a dependable
night of great music, great ladies and
great fun!! The birthday bash is on Fri
14th May, down at GHQ of course
from 11pm til past your bedtime. And
if you need any more incentive to go
along, then the ladies are offering free
bubbly to the first guests of the
evening, with plenty more fun n frolics
throughout the night. And don’t forget to
look out for the free passes available on the
night!
As if that wasn’t enough from GHQ,
they are also having an 80’s night on Sun
30th May, with a live PA from dyke icon
Hazel Dean. By which time I’ll be on a plane
to our honeymoon in Thailand! Result.
If you fancy something a wee bit different, how does this sound? Loud & Proud,
Scotland’s only LGBT choir, are hosting a
fabulous concert, ‘Love Is In The Air’ on Sat
8th May. Starting at 8pm at Edinburgh’s
George Square Theatre, the group will perform a cappella (doors open 7.30pm). Loud
& Proud offers an eclectic and entertaining
programme sung with energy, joy and enthusiasm, including songs by Abba, Diana
Ross, Peggy Seeger, Rufus Wainwright and
U2. Come along and feel the love!! Tickets
are selling quickly, so book in advance to
avoid disappointment!
£9 and £7 concession, with free parking
available. The Hub Box office: 0131-473
2000 or www.hubtickets.co.uk.
That’s all for now folks! And my last
column as a single lady – needless to say
I’m on a daily countdown, so for now I’ll bid
you good day and get stuck into more wedding preparation. And the word Bridezilla
will not be received well peeps! !

Looking For Casual
Relaxing Fun With
Younger Guy(s)
Just looking for fun with

mutual respect is a must.
One off is good, so is longer
term fuck buddy. I’m mostly
active but can be versatile if
that‘s what really works for
you. Safer fun only - no barebacking. And a kiss or cuddle
can be just as good as (or
better than) anything else so there are a lot of options.
What have you got to lose by
replying and seeing if our
needs/desires are compatible? Other than your virginity
which is soon gone with this
