Simon Hobart, the key London club promoter behind London's thriving alternative/ electro gay scene, was inspired by the conformity of England's 90s gay scene, he told the Observer this week.

First making his name via London's first genuine weekly all-nighter the KitKat club in the 80s, Simon nowadays runs Nag, Nag, Nag/ The Cock venue Ghetto after returning to form in the mid 90s with Popstarz.

"I remember feeling alienated by the homogenous drugs and sex-obsessed gay scene," Simon told the Observer.

"The emphasis (for Popstarz) would be on boozing, not cruising, as an antidote to the mainstream gay scene, with its muscle marys or crass, boy band-loving gay teenagers."
