After a tiring day of entertainment which took place at
Alexandra Palace, it was time for the after party to
commence. The Afro Hair and Beauty show moved to it's after
party spot on Shh Rooms right in the center of lively London's
West End, Leister Square.
Amazingly on a Monday although it was a bank holiday the
parking was crazy as it took Promotion City nearly 1 hour to
find a parking space and this was a good walk from the club.
This was the first initial sign that the night was to be a
crowd filled night. We arrived outside Shh rooms at the prime
time of 12.30. We labelled this the prime hour as this was
the time when people that had been to the show had a chance to
get home and glam themselves up. The queue outside the club
was massive with people queuing up from the pre part and also
saw many holiday ravers looking for their best night on this
Monday evening.
Once through the excited crowd which Promotion City had no
problem with thanks to the great security staff on the doors,
we entered the plush and lavish Shh club greeted by winding
stairs taking you up through the A-List clubs 3 floors. On
the first floor the vibes where good and the dance floor in
the main room was so packed it made it hard to navigate throw
the crowed. But considering the large numbers of people, it
was a still a happy, vibing and smiling atmosphere with not a
sole worrying about their shoes being stepped on, this
indicated that the DJ’s where doing their thing well,
unfortunately, the only down side was that there where no
microphones allowed in this club. Perhaps this is one that
Shh may think of allowing in the future to increase the vibe
in the building.
As we wondered from the first floor to the second you could
not help but notice how well dressed people had come out, the
girls looked great and sexy, and the guys looked sharp and
suave. Even people that were slightly dressed down dropped it
well and looked hot.
On the second floor was the VIP lounge and anyone in there can
tell you it was off the hook for what is normally a chilled
area, there beats where pumping and nuff drinks where flowing.
Add this to the extra seated beds in VIP with the few on the
first floor this floor was truly kicking with music supplied
by the well known DJ Marcus Blue, style from the sexy VIP
ladies and pictures from your one stop solution Promotion City
as you can see on your right.
The night carried on with the great vibe and even after a busy
and hectic day earlier at the show people showed no sign of
slowing nor winding down. People that were chilling in the
back bar lounge area even jumped up with energy when their
favourite songs came on. People on the beds were far from
sleeping as new found friends conversed and got to know each
other, or as you can see from one or two pictures - pulled a
laying down pose for the camera.
As the night headed to an end the GENTS played us out with one
of their usual great sets, spun with a few golden oldies
including their trademark Madonna's Like A Virgin, and a heavy
Outkast and Shy FX Helicopter mix. On the final track the
crowd showed they didn't want the night to come to an end
still shouting and singing the words as it faded down, so to
show their love for the crowd, the GENTS played another only
to be told to cut it by the club staff. But like true pro's
they complied even after having speaker problems and not being
helped by the same staff earlier on.
The night came to an end and people carried the vibe with them
as ravers flowed out into Leister Square and even in the rain
people stuck around chatting. This gave Promotion City the
chance to catch up with a few.
Marsha from Tottenham said "I had a great
day and night, so much so, that my feet hurt badly mainly from
all the dancing to that great music!"
Whez from East said "It was to jam but worth it just for all
da gal…" then he went off to chat to one!
On the whole this was a great night that extended an great
show on the bank holiday Monday, the rave was packed, people
where well behaved, and the music and of the highest standard.
The Vibe was so good that we have to thank not only the
promoters for putting on such a night, but you… ‘The Real
Ravers’ too. Pure Promotion City love and respect to you all.

promoters and many more... Don't forget to check out the
