Obviously, lesbians, gays and bisexuals in Scotland were looking for something different - and ScotsGay certainly provided that with its cover price of ukp1 and a wide ranging but readable content. Our comprehensive listings, which are fully revised before each issue is sent to press, have drawn compliments from workers on a number of lesbigay switchboards who now use them as reference material in preference to the listings in other publications. And Spartacus, the International Gay Guide, has chosen us to bring all of their Scottish material up to date. Our arts coverage has drawn plaudits too. It's written by and for folk who like to read books, go to cinemas and the theatre or watch TV - not by and for people to whom these pursuits are a full time job or object of academic study. But there have been moans - mainly from our advertisers who complained that we didn't come out often enough. Our competitors moaned too and some have spent a lot of time and effort in making up tall stories to detract from what we've been doing. One editor was actually observed stealing our display material from a cafe noticeboard - I mean, how pathetic can you get? Well, nearly a year down the road, we're expanding - this is the first edition of our new improved InsideOut which will be distributed free of charge in the lesbigay pubs, clubs and cafes of Scotland in the month that ScotsGay doesn't make its much looked forward to appearance. So, you know where to look to keep up to date with all the gossip each month. A monthly mag is what our advertisers have asked for - both those who pay for the display advertising (which makes the magazine possible) and those who advertise free of charge in our Meet Market. Don't let anybody tell you different - an advertisement in ScotsGay and InsideOut will be read by more Scots than one in any other Scottish lesbigay advertising medium. And that's not mentioning our major presence on the Internet. If you want to publicise your pub, need to spread the word about what you have to offer, or would like to select a shag in Stirling (or even Kettering) - you know where to advertise. However, that's not all. Next month, there's going to be a major change in ScotsGay - but if you want to know what that is, you'll just have to wait and get hold of your own copy (or borrow somebody else's)! John Hein ------------------------------------------------------------------- ABERDEEN So, summer has finally come all over us and has gone away again, and the Aberdeen scene is finally getting busier by the week as the boys and babes return from their summer holidays. Nice to see a few old faces returning to their home patch for a look at the scene in Aberdeen. Been having a few reminiscences about the good old days. Can it really be 14 years sinces Jean's Bar closed? Remember good old Daisies when the whole scene was under one roof and you didn't have to flit between two venues scared that you might be missing something? Now that the gay trade is getting busier, we should be demanding the removal of the increasing number of straights frequenting our venues. The scene has been moaning about this for months. All right, so things were quieter a while back and both clubs had to boost numbers by allowing straights in. But there's no excuse for it any more. The Pink has already started knocking back people at the door and, let's face it, if we go into a gay club it's only reasonable to expect that the clientele are of the same sexual orientation. It would appear that a new gay venue will shortly be opening in Aberdeen according to current rumours. Nobody seems to know who's behind the alleged new venture although Cassandra says that it's not a million miles away from one of the current venues. Watch this space for details. So what else has been happening in the Grunty City? The women's discos go from strength to strength with groups now coming down from Inverness. Congratulations to the Pink's quiz contestants who are now fifth in their national league throughout the UK. People seem to be going out more on the scene: there's a lot more money going around now and things are generally a good deal busier than they were six months ago. I always thought that all those stories about Aberdonians being tighter than a duck's bum were just nasty rumours put about by outsiders. Obviously not true!! Just take a look at how much busier things are down in Grippy Graham's Groovy Groping Grotto since the new drinks promos started. Free entry at the weekend and a happy hour on Fridays and Saturdays can't be bad. Little else happening here at the moment as all the screaming queens have been on their holidays and are still holding their holiday slide parties! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DUNDEE Dundee has been a busy wee toon this past month. Full throughout the week, Deva's has been buzzing on Thursday nights with new local girl band Diva. The trio of Caroline, Irene and Paula seem to manage something to get everyone bopping. Karen's Karaoke is all the rage too as the new machine gets an airing most evenings. Not everybody's cup of tea, perhaps - but popular nonetheless. Not as popular as Deva's scrummy DJ Jan - but then, what is? There are plans afoot to put in a new dance floor - by the time you read this, it may already be there. And there's an application in for a later licence which can't be bad! Club Cruise has given up trying to open on two nights in the week and is concentrating on its Saturday nighter which goes from strength to strength. Nevertheless, Oscar's owner tells me that he's open to offer for a midweek slot if somebody wants to organise it! Now, there's an opportunity for somebody ... ----------------------------------------------------------------- EDINBURGH It's really nice to get the city back to ourselves and see the back of all these bloody tourists! I know I'll be looking forward to their return in a few months, but in the meantime it gives us all a chance to see just how good our own home grown talent can be! After that slight contre-temptette during the Festival over Blue Fest's use of the New Calton, Alan and Maggie seem to have their hands pretty full there each Saturday with JOY. If you look round the bars and cafes you should be able to pick up a wee token of their gratitude to regular punters which will give you a pound off the entry price. JOY is also booking some guest DJs - confirmed so far are Rachael Auburn (Saturday 21st October) and Steve React (18th November). Rachael put together the dance compilations Freska 1 & 2 whilst Steve is involved with the React and Sharp record companies. Both are well known for their nights at Heaven in London. One sad loss to the city's dykes has been the ending of Club Sappho due to the loss of the premises. But organiser Anne tells me that she's actively looking for a new venue! New arrival, Over The Rainbow in Broughton Street, has been putting on the style more than a bit. Camp really is an understatement of the effect of the decor (not to mention the friendly staff). They've even had a wee paragraph or two in the Evening News. Cafe Kudos has been busy too with these upstairs windows giving a good vantage point to watch the sights of the city on their way to the pubs. Saturday 16th of September was due to see a Celebrity Auction of props (genuine), memorabilia (signed) and underwear (worn)! All in order to raise funds for Pride Scotland and Crusaid. El Raymondo - he who flits between Maggie Rayes and Picardy's - still hasn't re-opened the Bodytech Sauna, but, perhaps, when he gets time ... He's a busy LAD, is our Raymond - he's planning a few changes in LADS which will have its bar re-vamped and will stock Red Stripe! He's asked me to point out that, although LADS is a membership club, membership is easier to get than it is to get into my knickers - so it must be pretty easy! Down at the Broughton Street Centre, Terry at Drondale reports record business over the Festival. Thought Drondale sold tapes these days ... In the back shop, Brendan Nash seems to be settling in at Eat Out which is fast regaining its reputation for value, friendliness and a braw cup of tea. The Blue Moon doesn't seem to be quite as packed these days as it once was - but with all the competition in the area, that's not surprising. Nevertheless, I hear they had quite a few in (phwoarr!) for their recent Post Festival Party. CC Bloom's remains hoaching - with a big crowd turning out each week for the fantabulosa male stripper on Sunday afternoons. The disco too attracts a crowd of all ages who certainly seem to enjoy themselves if all the broad grins are anything to go by! Route 66, also has its devotees and, being on the edge of Edinburgh's Gay Triangle just means that you either arrive there first or leave last if you're out for a night on the town! Or, if you fancy a Pleasure Cruise to Blackpool for ukp15, there's one leaving on the 7th of October at 9am. Edinburgh's first licenced Sex Shop at 8b Drummond Street (next to the Video Shop) will be officially open soon. Although aimed principally at the hetty market, it has something for perves of all sexualities! And you can always pop into Khushi's for a quick curry after you've bought your goodies! That's it from Jessieburgh - see yah next ish! ---------------------------------------------------------------- GLASGOW Calumnious goings on down at the Waterloo. The place will be shutting up shop from 26th September until 10th October for a bit of a refurbishment. I wonder where all the regulars will go whilst the pub is shut? When it opens up, the new manager will be another Calum (who prefers to be called Cal) who has been working up 'till now at Lauders Bar. Welcome on board, Cal! I'm sure you'll keep the old Wateryloo a happy ship! Madame Gillespies has quickly established itself as part of the community. And things like their joint venture with Phace West which brought Hazel Dean to the city have helped to make the place the talk of the town. That little gig netted Phace West ukp1000 from the door money. Nice one, Robert! Phil Hurst has been adding to the fun and mayhem at Madame G's on Sundays with his weekly Funky Chicken. But, don't forget the Monday night Barmy Bingo (ukp50+ prize money), the Tuesday night appearance of Madame G's famed Exotic Dancers, the Wednesday night Candlelit Cabaret with Georgia Scott and Billy Lyons, and the Krazy Karaoke with Doris D on Thursdays. Not to mention all the live cabaret at the weekends! The coming month will see appearances from Kelly Marie, Millie Mop and Tony Sheilds as well as some surprises. Manager Robert Anderson tells me that he's got a few big acts lined up which may appear at very short notice, so it pays to be around if you don't want to miss anything! Over in Glassford Street, Bobby at Bennets has been keeping up the friendly rivalry between the two establishments with visits from Paradiso, EYC, Sweat Box, Mosaic, Eve Gallagher and Peter Andre either planned or in the past. David at Squires had a very successful Pyjama Party recently with lots of folk dressing up (or should that be down?) for the occasion and getting into the swing of things. I see that the Cooncil have been putting their feet in it again - apparently the Pink Paper is just too disgusting to go out into all the City Libraries. It's the Pink's personal ads that some pig-ignorant bigoted librarian objects to. Presumably he hasn't looked at the small ads in the List which are just as inexplicit but aren't in a lesbigay publication. Pass the sick bag, Alice ... Austins was packed when I popped in the other night - and it was midweek too! I hear that Robert has had a wee problem with the electrics recently which caused the place to be closed a couple of mornings whilst some big butch sparkies put things to rights. How shocking! The sauna saga continues to simmer. It seems that the red tape is still getting in the way of Glasgow's first gay sauna, but things are about to start moving so soon we won't all have to go to Edinbugger for that cleansing experience... Del's has been pretty full most Mondays of late with the Becks promotion - ukp1.25 all night - attracting a lot of lager fans. The Bingo on Tuesdays, the Games/Quiz Night on Wednesdays and the Karaoke on Sundays manage to keep the place tolerably busy on the traditionally quiet nights of the week as do the nightly Happy Hours from 5-7 and 9-10. I've heard reports that Divally's has become increasingly straight on its gayer nights of Monday and Tuesday. But the management there deny this and claim that the reverse is true. Suppose I'll have to go and have a look at the mucky movies and examine the clientele for myself. Dropped into the Victoria Bar last week for the first time in ages and was pleasantly surprised to see quite a few kent faces enjoying an off scene pint. If any of them found the bag I accidentally left there containg a bumper pack of lube and condoms, I would like it back but you can keep the dirty washing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOXES - THE SCOTSGAY MEET MARKET ================================ To reply to a Contact Ad: By e-mail: We can now accept replies by e-mail for Box Numbers.
