Peckham is THE place to be. It’s populated by eccentric African ladies and hot young art students; the two best kinds of people in the world! As a result, Peckham is a chicken wing-littered, avant-garde, graffiti-sprayed NIRVANA.    Walk down Rye Lane and you can buy anything. Absolutely anything. An ornate Gambian bangle. A bloody mary seasoned with pulled pork and...

The inimitable Room Service, the party for the premier league of man candy, is turning five years old on Thursday October 22nd.   To celebrate, we thought we’d put together a selection of 25 of the hottest boys ever to step in front of their legendary photographer’s lens, for your viewing pleasure. Who wants to read a load of writing anyway?...

We discovered Tel Aviv’s Idan Matalon through his absurdly cute lipsync videos of Latin American telenovelas and knew we had to speak to him. To our surprise and delight, he’s much, much more than a super-cutie with a love of moving his mouth to Spanish-language soap operas. We caught up with the LGBT activist, head of marketing for Moovz...

Following the success of Mr Glory and Lipsync 1000, the creative forces at East London’s most talked about queer venue, The Glory, are back with a brand new all-strutting, all-posturing competition called Man Up.

Despite progress, too many in the LGBT community still find themselves struggling to cope with issues relating to their gender identity or sexual orientation; too often they’ve no one to talk to. Chris Godfrey speaks with Switchboard co-chair, Nuala O’Sullivan, and Gay Switchboard Ireland director, Adam Shanley, about how their charities continue to help the community’s most vulnerable and...

The spectacular story of the rise, fall and most recently rise again of 80’s pop legend known as ‘Marilyn’ is one that if you didn’t hear first hand, you might actually think it was a tale of fiction.   He began his singing career whilst at school with ‘a really pure choir like type voice’, auditioning, unbeknownst to him for the...

Pam Ann is back in London performing at Leicester Square, so to celebrate she’s provided us with her favourite S.T.D’s in the capital. That’s Shit To Do, by the way. Not the other thing.    Favorite Restaurant (After dark): BALANS Pumping music, hot security, sexy gay waiters, great cocktails and a fun off its face vibe after the club! The food is...

It’s time for the BFI London Film Festival! The BFI building on the South Bank is lovely, especially in the autumn. They’ve got a terrace by the Thames, perfect for sipping steaming, star anise-seasoned mulled wine, whilst perving on hot Italian tourists in bomber jackets.  This year they’ve got a host of challenging, gorgeous cinema to choose from, including a...

Dylan Jones’ roundup of new musics for people who listens to musics   First off, Tanika! We love Tanika! She had a (sort of) hit a couple of years ago with dub hip-hop banger “Bad 4 U”. Yes, “Bad 4 U” with a “4” and a “U”. Proper spelling is so 2010! She also used to date rapper Naughty Boy who’s...

Sizzling with sexual tension, this riveting British drama throws three people together in an idyllic holiday home on the French Riviera, then lets them circle around each other like wasps ready to sting. It’s an ambitious project to make on a small budget, but first-time writer-director Philippe Audi-Dor keeps the story taut, the characters vivid and the hot young...
