G-A-Y
G-A-Y is a gay nightclub in London. It operated from the London Astoria music venue for 15 years until July 2008. The Boston Globe described it as "London's largest gay-themed club night",〔() here〕 ''NME'' reported that it "attracts 6,000 clubbers each week", and ''The Independent'' described it as "the one London gig that really matters" for "today's pop stars". On Friday 3 October 2008, it moved to famous gay venue Heaven.〔 〕 G-A-Y is associated with G-A-Y Bar and G-A-Y Late, both of which were also owned by Ryan Clark, Bare. The two bars sell discounted tickets to weekend performances, and are locations in which flyer boys operate. The brand was purchased on 13 August 2007 by the MAMA Group. ==History== G-A-Y began in 1976 in the Sundown club (in the basement of the London Astoria, subsequently called LA2, and now demolished) as a Monday night event called ''Bang!'', started by club promoters Norman Scott, Damien Tony and Jerry Collins, who worked as a DJ under the name Gary London. During the 1980s, ''Bang!'' (Monday and Saturday) and also ''Propaganda'' (Thursday) were run by gay club promoter and DJ Colin Peters (Peter Daubeney), whose brother Jamie continued as promoter for a period following his death. In the early 1990s, ''Bang!'' was acquired by DJ and promoter Jeremy Joseph who was formerly employed by Peters, who oversaw its change of name to G-A-Y, its expansion from two nights a week to four, and its move from the LA2 to the London Astoria. For some years G-A-Y operated in both venues: the LA2 on Monday and Thursday nights and the London Astoria on Fridays and Saturdays. On 22 September 2008, MAMA Group acquired Heaven nightclub〔(MAMA Group PLC Acquisition of Heaven (London) Limited and issue of convertible loan note ) 22 September 2008〕 and the venue is now the home of G-A-Y. The two nightclubs were merged into one with both types of music being played (G-A-Y specialises in pop and commercial, Heaven in House music).
