VEGAS!
‘A Night Of A Thousand Stars!’ - A fabulous festival fiesta on Saturday the 8th of August
Multiple award-winning club-night VEGAS! proudly presents ‘A Night of a Thousand Stars’ - an unforgettable evening of glamour and glitz, burlesque and blackjack, moonlight and martinis, roulette and romance, hedonism and hi-jinks, fun and frolics, style and sophistication - in the beautiful HMV Picture House.
Lighting up the VEGAS! stage and parading under the Picture House’s proscenium arch are shooting stars such as Scotland’s Queen of Burlesque, ‘Missy Malone‘, luscious luminaries like the ‘La De Dahs‘, a 40s-style vocal harmony group inspired by swingin’ sisters Andrews and Puppini, and the stellar talent of ‘This Is Elvis‘, the UK’s most charismatic and entertaining young Elvis impersonator.
The cool constellation of a thousand stars will be made-up by the hipsters and hepcats, hustlers and hoodlums, uptown girls and downtown guys, kitsch kittens and cool cats, sinners and swingers, high society’s most eligible debutantes and the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted…
The legendary VEGAS! vinyl villains - Frankie Sumatra, Bugsy Seagull, Dino Martini, Sam Jose - will serve up an intoxicating concoction of luscious lounge, zoot-suited swing, rockin’ R&B, jumpin’ jive, libidinous latin and sanctified soul for the delectation and delight of all. Nikki Nevada and the glamorous VEGAS! Showgirls will garnish this crazy but cool cocktail with their inimitable beauty and grace, while The Fabulous Scott Brothers croupiers will be giving away fabulous free drinks at the roulette and blackjack tables at The Stardust Casino. Plus, there’s a bottle of bubbly to be won at the hotly-contested VEGAS! ’Most Stylishly Dressed’ competition.
