Despite our mounting backlog of reviews, reports, newsletters & the like, given our most recent clubbing escapade in Elephant & Castle, we simply had to put proverbial pen to paper on our fresh felt & bite sized view of the night just savoured, our latest Preview The Review looking like this……
When Brazil’s best clubbing brand made it across the Atlantic Ocean and landed on London in September last year, no one could have imagined just what sort of an impact it would make, host venue Fire proving a perfect partner, at least in our eyes. So, having missed out on the next instalment which saw The Week move from Vauxhall to Elephant & Castle, we were keen to see how the switch to The Coronet would fare. And, arriving at just shy of midnight, the party did take a while to build, but with the company we were holding, we were suitably distracted, Steve Pitron & Celso Moura the delightful distraction for the perfect prelude to proceedings that gathered a sufficient head of steam only when the full-on & flamboyant stage shows swung into action. With beef & brawn brilliantly balanced with colourful costumes together with plumes of pyrotechnics, acrobatic displays & fire eating entertainers, there was no short of enticing eye candy, the cavorting crowd a good looking bunch too. In terms of the music, it was a shame Brazilian boy DouGuim had to play behind a huge black screen, only drawn back two hours into the audacious activity, Leandro Kloppel then attempting to hit, but for us, missing the mark with his music, while Sao Paulo resident jock Renato Cecin flexed his musical muscles as well as his pumped up physique to carry us along in waves of wonderment from our elevated spot on the VIP balcony. However our night was made complete with, not just a myriad of familiar faces popping up to say hello, but by the captivating company of pals Stephen & Andy, but moreover the bountiful Bailey who was definitely the icing on our copious cake, his hugs & kisses hitting the mark magnificently, while his dextrous dancing was as dreamy as his distinguished draw. Our final fling was perfected by Paul Heron who masterminded a mountain of marvellous music through to the 6 a.m. finish, leaving us with so much more to say, meaning its “ready, steady, go for the review…” (DISCO MATT)
