In a Soho scene that has seen a whole host of swanky soiree's come & go, some staying the distance,…read morewhile others struggling to sustain a significant string of showings, ones that spring to mind including Sanctuary, Salon & Sweet Suite, there is definitely a new breed of scene setters proving that Thursday's are becoming the new Friday's, not least that Soho Chic which launched just last week, is looking to savour a slice of this substantial soiree scoop. However, there is no doubt that it will have some way to go to match the mark that Room Service has made, this wonderful weekend warmer actually proving to be one of the hottest tickets in town, having quickly established itself as the place to be & be seen on the scene, we hardly believing that Jodie Harsh & her terrific team having been checking in considerable crowds for a good nine months already. Yet not wishing to lay on its laurels, the crew behind the club that very much talks & the talk & walks the walk, have not only extended their offer to a weekly pre-party at nearby Circa, but down at Diu they have teamed up with some of the biggest brands across the capitals clubbing scene, that added to off-shoot Downtown & an international presence across in Ibiza, leaving much of their competition in admiration of Room Service's amazing achievements in such a short space of time. So, having sampled our own superb slices of Room Service on quite a few occasions since our first check-in some three months ago, when we heard that WE Party was to hold its Heroes pre-party with Jodie & co, that combined with Messrs Pitron & Di Angelis sorting the sounds, along with Victor Pallas' WE London lot sampling their own slice of the Room Service top draw treatment, we simply couldn't say no, heading for Soho in good time to avoid the inevitable queue & wait that have met us on previous occasions. And we were to be rewarded with our early(ish) arrival, although the usual hiccup with negotiating the overzealous Dui management & security was not the start we wanted, fortunately the ever smiling, obliging & all-round magnificent man, JJ, smoothed over the venue cracks in an instant, stamping our hand as we decided on a brief look in at Room Services pre-party at Circa, a visit that was to leave us both impressed with this new bar kid on the block, as well as a superb set from James Pople, he having made a mark on our minds at Meat a few weeks previously, but definitely proved his worth at this sophisticated spot. But, while we had made ourselves more than comfortable in Circa's surroundings, a message from Room Service starter Steve was beckoning us back to Greek St and our further check-in for this Jodie jaunt. Bumping into Brazilian beaut's Bel & Celso, we paused for a moment to catch up, although the draw of Diu & Steve supercharged sounds wasn't going to keep us out for long, our arrival downstairs met with a wonderful Naomi welcome, the now usual emperor curtsey leaving us laughing out way to the D.J. booth & a beaming Mr Pitron who was already delving into his delightful dance tune collection which was to see us being treated to one tremendous track after the next, pretty much for the whole two hours of his prolific performance. So, finding a spot adjacent to the D.J. booth, we soon bumped into familiar faces a-plenty, not least our fierce partner in crime Lexi, we bringing him up to speed with our recent trauma's, including the infamous iron lung which had impeded us from soaking up scores of scene splendours in the three weeks we had been out of action. But with many of the Pitron posse now in place, including the smashing Sophie along with the Brazilian bunch, it was Offshore that started the floods of emotions that have become our trademark when Steve is on D.J. duty, Bel then adding repeated moments of hilarity with her tweeting advances leaving that iron lung of ours struggling to cope, her playful prances very much egged on by the naughty Mr Pitron. Then with further towering tracks including So Much Love, the lyrics, I am so glad I came most appropriate to this occasion, as well the Mark Knight 2011 remix of You've Got The Love & Danny Verde's version of Starry Eyed left us hardly wanting for more, yet with first Release Me invoking a mini Doing The Disco Matt routine and then the Pitron/DM anthem Stronger totally consuming us, Bel's tweeting, Sophie's whistles, Celso's glances & Steve's smiles leaving us in an emotional yet joyful wreck. But this prolific party was as much about WE as Room Service, the London lot including Ben Kaye, Naomi Ruiz & Mauricio Ortiz all present & correct, yet the hard work the man out of the social spotlight, Paul Vlad, clear for all to see, as not only had he done a sterling job with the pre Room Service promotion around town, but his selection of costume clad super heroes including Batman & Robin was very much in tune with the theme of this latest WE event to storm the scene. Plus, looking around Diu, there were flyers a-plenty

But last night the prospect of DODGY (yes - DODGY!) playing there couldn't keep me away. It's actually a really cool music venue, with a big bar area at the front, which opens out at the back into a performance area with a stage and plenty of room for lots of people to get a good view. The acoustics were great too. But - and perhaps this is me just showing my age here - the headline band not coming on until 12.15am was a tad too late in my (square) opinion, especially when the clocks went forward an hour, which meant they didn't finish until about 2.30am! But a decent enough spot, and I'd definitely be interested in going to some more gigs there in the future.

In a country where binge-drinking is a problem, Suburban displays a funny, apt pro-drinking slogan near their backdoor. You should read it!

I went to see The Roots at The Forum this weekend and although most of my enjoyment was down to…read morethem being an incredible band, some of it had to do with the venue, which I rate highly. As a sprightly, young music fan, I used to get standing tickets for every concert because I wanted to be at the front, hugging the speaker and as close as possible to whoever was on stage. Now at the ripe old age of 24, I may be getting a bit old for this kind of behaviour and so for the first time ever, opted for seated balcony tickets. When we arrived and moved through the fast moving queue I started to worry that buying seats meant that you had to sit in them; I just wanted to be on the balcony for a better view. My fears turned out to be unfounded; the seating is comprised of tiered, cushioned benches that curve around the balcony. It was unreserved too so even though we arrived late, we still managed to squeeze in with another friend at the front. There are several bars at The Forum, so the queues for drinks were nothing like what I've seen in other large music venues and they are inside the auditorium so getting a beer doesn't mean missing half the gig. It's very grand inside with a huge chandelier hanging from the high ceiling and gold detailing on every available surface. The only complaint about this venue is the sound wasn't particularly good, especially after the gig, the DJ set was so quiet it sounded as though the speakers were in a different room.

It was sold out, but still not terribly crowded. A pint of beer was decent at 3.20 pounds, not extortionate but you're not allowed re-entry. Might as well have a drink before. It was not too small and not too big, perfect for an intimate concert. Its divided into two levels with lots of chairs upstairs, where you can sit with a great view of the stage. The cloakroom was terribly crowded at the end of the night, but the manager and security team managed the crowd really well (mini London mob... don't we know them well). Awesome concert, decent venue.
