Friday nights will never be the same again – The George , Queen of Irish gay bars, will begin its highly anticipated new night, Glitter Bomb, this Friday, 25th January. Proceeds from the dazzling night will proudly support Dublin’s LGBTQ Pride, celebrating 30 years this June. Gaelick are giving you and three friends a fab prize for the opening night.

We here at Gaelick know how much our readers love competitions, so here is another one – to give you a chance to win two tickets to see Alexandra Burke in The George this Friday!

Veda, one of everyone’s favourite queens from the Dublin drag scene is back with a second album. Veda’s new album, Transphibian will be the sound of the summer if my Facebook homepage is anything to go by!

Judging my Facebook feed every weekend, there are a lot of X Factor fans out there. So here’s some great news for you! The Risk and Johnny Robinson will be performing live on stage at The George over the next few weeks.

Direct from NYC, the legendary Drag Queen ‘Sherry Vine’ will perform a show stopping, all singing, all dancing, side-splitting comedy show live at The George on Friday 25th November.

The final of the Ms. Gay Ireland competition was held in Limerick recently, and I was able to ask the winner, Emma Parkes (a bartender in The George) a few questions about her new role. Judging by her answers, we will be seeing great things from her this year!

A Eurodance sensation, Alexandra Stan will be performing live on stage in The George on Friday 19th August.

Remember Alcazar? Well if you don’t remember them, I’m sure you remember the song “Crying At The Discotheque” from the early 2000s? They’re playing the the George tonight, and anyone into cheesy camp music should head along!

Kelis will be taking to the stage of the George on the 23rd of June as part of the pride celebrations being held by The George, which is the Official Pride Club of 2011.

Mischief is a new night which started in The George bar a few weeks ago. Taking place every Friday, the idea behind the night is that each week has a different theme, and so far the organisers have gone all out to give the clubbers in attendance the best experience possible.

Tired of the same old Mothers’ Day outings? This year try something that bit different and Bring Your Ma to Bingo in The George with Ireland’s favourite Bingo Caller, Shirley Temple Bar!

The parade is over and you want to party! From the George to Basebar, there’s lots to keep you entertained over the course of the evening.

Shirley Temple Bar’s weekly Bingo Show has been an integral part of the Dublin scene for years, and right now the George and Shirley are gearing up for the 700th outing of this gay institution.

One aspect of the scene has always perplexed me. It is commonplace to hear lesbians on any given night bemoaning the fact that the scene is so male orientated. While this may often be the case, when women’s nights are put on, women don’t seem to go to them, and I for one would like to get a discussion going on this!

Pussy Wagon is the women’s night held in The George on the first Friday of every month. Sporting live performances, it has a different vibe from other lesbian nights out there and this fact, coupled with the varied set lists from the various DJs who have played there so far, makes for an excellent night out.

It’s been quite a while since our last round-up of what’s been happening here at Gaelick Towers. (Personally, I blame the hectic madness of Pride and the Civil Partnership Bill.) Let’s remedy that, shall we?
