"let’s hope Jeremy makes a success of it, so we can celebrate his good fortune"
This is the problem I think. As much as there are A LOT of G-A-Y lovers out there, Heaven has made it's name from being the exact opposite of G-A-Y! When would you ever hear Beenie Man playing in G-A-Y? Would you ever hear Steps playing in the Dakota Room in Heaven? No!
This is what differentiated the two venues! I honestly feel that Jeremy will see Heaven as a place to continue with the same thing he was doing at Astoria (which i add consists of nights like "Camp Attack" and others along those lines. It's all good and well having your brand, every business needs one. However to turn one of London's biggest clubs into what will basically be a children's playground (cos lets face it...it's kids that go to G-A-Y these days) is just totally disrespecting the needs of the community.
It's not just about good fortune. This whole process I seriously think will cause a knock on effect to the community. Think about the kind of people that go to Heaven and the kind that go to G-A-Y...mostly black people in Heaven and mostly white guys in G-A-Y..As a community, we are already separatist in the sense that we can't even go out to the same club! Now when G-A-Y take over Heaven and just say for instance they do bring what they did at the Astoria to Heaven...how is that gonna go down in the community? Think about it...those who go to Heaven are just gonna feel like they're being "run out" by the G-A-Y brand and ultimately by Jeremy.
I'm rambling now, but seriously...I don't think it's the brightest move to be made by Jeremy or by the owners of Heaven!
