SHE DUG HER OWN GRAVE

Spent a rather okey dokey Saturday night out. Jon and I wen to Polo for a while and had a laugh having a dance and seeing some tired old queens mince and a few young pups hustle for pole position on the Glasgow Gay Scene. Polo was busy and in another gay club across town, ex Eastender aka Hattie Tavernier and sometime 90s RnB/pop songstress, Michelle Gayle was warming up her vocal chords for a PA at Coco Club. Jon and I headed on round to do a nosy in the snow which had started to fall in the few hours we were in Polo.

We arrived not ten minutes before Michelle was due on and actually bumped into her and her Busta Rhymes looking agent/lover/brother on arrival at the same time. I'd love to say pleasantaries were made like some old showbiz pals but we walked up and never really cracked a light with her. Some rather dry drag queen introduced her and she sang a few of her songs that a few people remembered. Snaps to Miss Gayle for singing live and belting it out for the people in attendance. Her most well known hit "Sweetness" was obviously going to be her last song so she asked the audience, "I have one more song to sing, which one do you want?!!"

Now this being a gay bar in Glasgow in 2006 provided the priceless reply from some gin sodden queen when she threw her microphone out to the audience. The song wanted?
"TRAGEDY!!"

She dug her own grave with that one.
