Heaven

London’s legendary and world famous nightclub, situated in the heart of the city, home to Live Music, G-A-Y and Popcorn. London clubland in the 1970s was a fairly dismal place. It compared very unfavourably with New York and many european cities and the concept of ‘clubbing’ as we understand the term today simply did not exist. To that end a group of innovative characters got together and took over the site that was a run down old roller disco called Global Village and in December 1979 Heaven opened its doors for the first time. It was timed perfectly. Six months earlier Mrs Thatcher had been elected and an era began that saw unemployment rise to levels last seen in the 1930s. The sense of decay and gloom was palpable. The ‘Swinging London’ of the 1960s a distant memory. London needed a splash of colour & flamboyance to counter balance the otherwise grey monochrome that was the reality of the british capital. Heaven was the brainchild of Jeremy Norman, responsible for the Embassy club, and which was seen as the nearest London had to Studio 54 in new york. Heaven quickly became the focal point for what had until then been a fairly understated gay scene that hitherto had been based in small hidden cellar bars or pub discos. When Heaven opened its doors in 1979 only 12 years had elapsed since the decriminalisation of homosexuality and at the time there was still a lot of overt prejudice against gay men & lesbians. Heaven bore the brunt of some of that intolerance and in those days was regarded warily by the authorities. It did however establish itself as a club venue that constantly re-invented itself. Its long standing creative director and general manager David Inches ensured that it never grew tired and always had a bookings policy that set it apart from its rivals. Not just gay club events either. Over the years nights such as ‘Bedrock’ ‘Pyramid’, ‘ Shoom’, ‘Rage’, ‘Megatripolis’ amongst many others all attracted a predominantly straight crowd for whom Heaven represented a delicious step into the decadent unknown. There were periodic live shows featuring bands who fancied playing an off the wall venue rather than the usual spit and sawdust live music venues. New Order played their first London show here in 1981. Barely six months earlier, when they had been called Joy Division their lead singer Ian Curtis had committed suicide. The renamed band minus Curtis had much to prove. Their London show 33 years ago has since passed into legend. Throbbing Gristle, the original industrial pioneers played at Heaven in 1980 – and reacquainted themselves with the place 29 years later in what became their last London show before splitting. Nick Cave's original band The Birthday Party played a storming set at Heaven in 1982 that 33 years on is still spoken about. Bauhaus were filmed at Heaven also in 1982 performing their classic 'Belo Legosi's Dead' the footage for which was used in the Catherine Deneuve / David Bowie film 'The Hunger' - one of the original 'sexy vampire' movies. In 2008 MAMA Group (now MAMA & Company) went into partnership with G-A-Y founder Jeremy Joseph and purchased Heaven from the pure group (Jeremy took over sole ownership of Heaven in 2013). G-A-Y was moved over from the Astoria, which was in the process of closing down and this now occupies the main club sessions on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday and has featured notable performances since that time by Adele, Lady Gaga, Jessie J, Miley Cyrus, One Direction amongst many others. Popcorn – the UK’s busiest monday night continues to pack them in each week with a rousing all nighter featuring the best house and R & B – 15 years old and still going strong. With the demise of the Astoria, Mark Ellicott – the Astoria’s long standing general manager and previously at the Kentish Town Forum & Brixton Fridge, moved over to Heaven with the remit to get going a regular live music scene and to put the place on the live map. Over the course of the past six years some of the best live bands have graced the stage here – both established artists and up and coming. Public Image Ltd, Throbbing Gristle, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, The Cribs, MGMT, Killing Joke, Culture Club, Foals, Bombay Bicycle Club, Two Door Cinema club, a-Ha, Everything Everything, N*E*R*D*, Tame Impala, Little Dragon, Yeasayer, John Grant, Hot Chip, Azealia Banks amongst hundreds of others. Heaven is now central London’s only one thousand capacity venue for live music. Its sound and lighting system is comparable with anything else on offer to live music promoters in other venues. The atmosphere created for live music in this basement space, so full of history right underneath Charing Cross station, is unique and the question if often posed why it took some three decades into its time before it was discovered by live event promoters as a venue to stage their acts... A good question indeed. This year – 2015 – Heaven will be 36 years old. Middle aged if it were human. But it is not human. It’s still in its stroppy adolescence. Restless and moody. Wanting to try new things out still. Wanting to experiment and push back boundaries. If you haven’t checked us out yet – it’s about time you did!

Lafayette

You might not have been to Lafayette yet, London’s box fresh new venue in King’s Cross. Not many have. It opened its doors at the beginning of March (after Brit Award winner Dave put it through its paces in a secret show the weekend before opening), but the pandemic soon spread apace forcing it to close again at barely short of two weeks old. As part of the same family as sister venue Omeara, Lafayette is a cut above. Double the size of Omeara at a little over 600 capacity, this spot has the feel of a scale model Shepherd’s Bush Empire but with a sound system on par with the seminal West London venue. Located within the new Goods Way development for all the food and pre/post show drinks, Lafayette is a musician friendly venue, with its own backstage bar (Nola’s), a sound system that does precisely what you want a sound system to do, and a tech spec to rival venues over twice its size. And it’s a punter friendly one too; impeccable sightlines across the room, a multi-tiered standing balcony, and a venue wide stage allowing you to see all the action wherever you find yourself squeezed between or behind. It’s just a short two minute walk from King’s Cross station, too. Booked by the Communion Presents team, Lafayette should quickly become the go-to for artists quickly finding their feet and find themselves and their fanbase outgrowing the likes of Omeara. Plenty is planned for when those doors eventually swing back open in 2021, so put it top of your post pandemic go-to list, sign up to their mailing list, and start saving your gig ticket money.
