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. 

Jon Quipp 

dundee@scotsgay.co.uk 

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!

GLASGOW 

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: ruby.fruits@ymail.com 

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 

glasgow@scotsgay.co.uk 

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.

HIGHLANDS 

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 

highlands@scotsgay.co.uk 

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 

info.highland.@tht.org.uk 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

minutes of fame!! So which Celebrity will

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! !

guy(s) aged 16-26 - probably

love not required although 

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 

poof! Box SG10104.
