Where can I find Wheely Bag?

Posted by whenthiswasfields over 3 years ago
Last active over 3 years ago 5 responses

I was at a brilliant four-day garage-surf rave in Benidorm last year called The Wild Weekend at which a London-based mobile DJ called Wheely Bag greeted the people queueing up. He was a curious fellow, playing some excellent rockabilly 45s on some decks mounted on a strange mobile tray covered with dancing dolls. I ...

A quiet spot in Soho?

I have to meet some people in Soho of an early evening. I have to record the conversation for work purposes, so anywhere with loud music or busy is out of the question. Any ideas people? A bar or café would be best. Was thinking of the Phoenix Theatre Bar or something. Is that noisy?

What’s a pseudo-intellectual gay boy looking for some conversation to do?

I recently had quite the misadventure in Soho. I went looking for a gay club that didn’t fulfil the sexed-up stereotypes to no avail. Where can a gay twenty-something go when he’s more interested in stimulating conversation than dance floor copulation?

Does anyone know of a decent, nay, a SHIT-HOT hairdresser in W1 or WC2? My evil hairdresser has abandoned me to go travelling around the world – I get the odd mis-spelt email from Goan beach cafes, where he’s lounging indolently with yoga-babes while my “difficult” barnet gets more and mo...

Last active over 3 years ago 6 responses

I’m a big fan of Christopher Fowler, lots of his books are based in and around Soho. There’s been a mention on his website that the book Roofworld is in development for film. It could be a fantastic film with some great London locations – anyone know anything more about it, or even worked on it...

I’d be glad to know, if someone could tell me, which Chinese restaurant to go to in Chinatown. I must have eaten their a dozen times, and had some good meals, some bad meals, some excellent meals, but I don’t have it firmly fixed in my mind where to go. Or where not to go. I’m bored of the fact tha...

Myself and my girlfriend went into the west end on Saturday as we were going to see a film at the British Museum and wanted something to eat beforehand. We ended up in Soho (not as pleasurable as it was 25 years ago, but that’s a different moan for another day). We went to a very nice little place called ̵...

A recent trip abroad has reminded me of exactly how good ramen can be, so now I’d like to fuel my newly-found noodles-and-pork-and-egg-and-stuff-in-soup addiction here at home. So… do any noodle lovers out there know of a good restaurant that serves traditional ramen – preferably with a couple of v...
