It is not surprising that the event page contains no details other than the date and place, after all, this was one of the hot spots of London underground culture and the place that heavily enhanced the return of the club-kid as we know it today.
For the London club-goers, it might need no introduction, but since this blog is being read worldwide, we feel that it deserves a little recoup of what it was all about.

On the 5th December 2008, The Cock had their LAST EVER party in its birthplace.
To begin to list DJs who have played at The Cock would be futile as they've all played - from all scenes and music disciplines!

The Cock has always been about bringing together all areas of gay nightlife but with the main emphasis being the alternative Friday night bender, indeed their original strapline read "For hookers, punks, dykes & queers". Of course the club has far exceeded that aim and it arrived at a time when nightlife was dominated by muscle clubs and over priced Soho bars playing wet music. So, now that 'do it yourself' club culture and 'difference' has been fully embraced, we mustn't forget that they contributed to this and each and every week until the inevitable demise of the Ghetto. It is featured in the book "New Club Kids: London Party Fashion In the Noughties" by Oggy Yordanov [who also started this blog] and has achieved a cult status. You can see why we must feel excited about the forthcoming anniversary party. See you there!
