• 24/7 PARTY PICK, 19 September, Friday

For the hard-core clubbers, tonight is the 24:7 world tour of GLOBAL UNDERGROUND with UK DJ DANNY HOWELLS at Cats in the New World Hotel. Any similarity between the tour’s name and the 24/7 Nocturnal Navigator magazine and this column is purely coincidental. But the accidental publicity suits us just fine!

And if you are a confirmed bachelor, drive to Bed at Malate for SIN, the all male blackout party. The invitation says strictly for male patrons only.
