"Hi. I'm sorry to randomly contact you, but after many fruitless Google searches, I thought this might work. You seem to know a lot about London nightlife, so...
I'm trying to find the name of a specific club in London, or perhaps a party within a specific club. According to your blog, you've only been in London for 6 years -- could you give me the contact info of anyone who's lived there for over 10 years?
I'm trying to find a famous or touristy gay club in London that existed 10 years ago. The name includes the word "Mod" or "Mad."
Why I'm looking for this: in the late 1980s or early 1990s, my father (35 at the time) gave me a t-shirt from a club in London. (He travelled to London from Kentucky every Christmas to teach). The t-shirt was black with blue block writing. I don't remember what it said, but it had the words "Mad" or "Mod" in it, then "London, England." He sent me a postcard from that same trip saying that he had seen Jimmy Somerville in a club. I don't know if it was the same club, but I'm assuming it was. The club must've been large & popular enough to support a small t-shirt shop.
This is before he died of AIDS in 1992 & before our family knew he was gay. I'm trying to find out more about this particular club. I know this seems so vague, but it's all I have. I'd appreciate any help you could offer, or if you know of anyone else who would know."
