A blast from he past, in the late 1980's Mr. Brown dabbled in the art of running a nightclub.
Under the artist instructions of Mr. Brown 7th Heaven quickly became a Sunday night
institution for Melbournes party pack.
Many a fresh new DQ cut their stilettos in the weekly pantomime.
Originating at Zuzu's on Russell St and later moving to Cadillac Bar on Swanston St. It was still a time when the patrons would dresses to impress nearly as much as the wild freak show that was gathered together each week to entertain. Bar managed by Samantha Drummond, music DJ by Deb Walters,
door bitched by Daryl/ Vivian St.James(depending who she was on the night). Entertainment/performance
captain Hot Coco led a troupe including Miss Candee, Victoria Bitter, Millie Minogue, Paris, Rita, Babet,
Bob Down, Levi Jones, Barbara Quicksand and many many more.
By the early 1990's it was the place to be.
Stay tuned for 7th Heaven updates.

ReplyDeleteWOW, just FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the 7th Heaven flyers, especially the one with the pink background and leopard skin tarzan piece of fabric AND the BRILLIANT Cabaret Catastrophe!!!
One of Melbourne's better clubs of all time!
ReplyDelete7th Heaven was a benchmark that very few passed. It was our Studio 54 and I miss those days terribly.
ReplyDeleteso very very true nothing has ever come close!
DeleteOMG what a club. I was podium dancer (after Barry left to work with Kylie!) at Zuzus up until it went to Cadillac Bar. So many awesome memories...whatever happened to Daryl? Would love to get in touch again.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best club nights in the world I loved that place and still have some of those passes!!!!
