     THE BIG NIGHT OUT

Last, but by no means least, is the Blues Room. This spot is set deep in the bowels of the earth and descending the stairs into its smokey depths conjures up images of Dante's Inferno - or catching the Harlem subway. But the sounds emanating from within are enough to keep you climbing down even if it were hell itself. You might find anyone down there from Joe Blu, Gauteng's Mr Bojangles to Henry Ate . Whoever it is it'll be worth listening to as the Blues Room only hosts the best. Sandton night creatures include those testosterone boys and Kate Moss girls who mark the mink and mature set out on the razzle.

If you're lucky you might catch a visiting American super stud or touring English royal on a heavily body-guarded night out.
