1974. My penniless mother, desperate to leave Kathmandu, was forced to sell hash for the last seat on a tiny propelled plane. “Terrified of flying, I’d smoked a bit of the stuff myself”. She only found it slightly odd then, that the plane was full of armed soldiers. They took off though the Himalayas wondering where the hell she was headed. “Everest”, replied an official. “Ooh, this is a bit good,” slurred mum, as they circled the mountain. She even managed to photograph it. Landing in India, a soldier pushed her back down in the seat. “You wait!” he ordered. She looked out of the window to see a red carpet unravelling. Just then, complete with entourage, the King of Nepal walked past her and disembarked. Why they allowed her on the plane is a mystery, but they probably just needed to ‘fill up the seats’.

If the blood in your ears rings with the rhythm of Benny Goodman but your feet are firmly on the kitchen tiles, you’re probably a Vintage Cinderella. Dance into the past at Lady Luck Club, a vintage vault where the ghosts of Piaf and Bogart watch on as veterans of the era swing to the stompin’ sound of the 40’s. Attire includes seamed stockings, Hollywood lips and fingered waves, while men tilt trilbies, braces and brogues. So if you’re tired of mosh-pits and young blood snogging off to Klaxons, Lindy-hop your way down to the Soho Revue and re-live War-Time Britain!
