Here is a line up of the wonderful entertainment we have planned for you!

Rachel has been a regular attendee of TG as well as contributed her skills back stage at some of our events with her knowledge of set design. We are extremely proud of her recent achievments and honoured to have her perform at this forthcoming TG Birthday Party where she will give her latest fashion creations a TG edge by combining it with a suspension show.
Roxy Velvet
http://www.roxyvelvet.com
Originally trained in the fine arts and drawing on a ten year acquisition of performance skill, Ms Velvet delivers aesthetically polished and fabulously glamorous stage shows. Reminiscent of a latter-day calendar girl, her stage persona combines disarmingly seductive attributes with old-fashioned poise.
Roxy Velvet has a vast array of fabulous costumes and props, most notably her Birdcage, a custom-built 11ft high birdcage with an integrated arial rig. This visually stunning prop combined with Roxy’s passion for sartorial sparkle creates an enchanting and nostalgic interpretation of burlesque. She is recognised for her skill with fire manipulation, magic, arial hoop and fan dancing and regularly performs en pointe.
As well as making headlining appearances at TG, award Ceremonies such as Kerrang! and corporate parties, such as The Carphone Warehouse Carnival. Roxy Velvet successfully holds two London based nights. Her supper club, Love on the Rox is Volupte’s highest selling monthly night. The other, Head Over Heels, is a cheeky avant-garde revue of which she is founder and director.
Roxy Velvet has acquired enviable recognition for her extensive repertoire. She has been interviewed by Bizarre Magazine, Time Out Magazine, London Lite, Alternative Magazine, G3, Venue Magazine, GoreZone, Diva and Subversion Magazine in the last 18 months. She has also been profiled by Current TV for the forthcoming Sex and Money series and regularly presents for Don't Panic TV.

http://www.myspace.com/marcellaandthefmn
Marcella and The Forget me Nots is the brainchild of Marcella Puppini, founder of famous UK vocal trio The Puppini Sisters and acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. Initially drawn to Opera, Marcella subsequently shifted towards Alternative Cabaret, which led her to creating The Puppini Sisters and then to becoming Musical Director and songwriter for The Whoopee Club - one of the pioneers and leaders of the UK Burlesque scene. Marcella recently founded The Forget Me Nots - an all-girl Post-Apocalyptic Cabaret 8-strong orchestra with influences ranging from Kurt Weill and Jacques Brel to Baroque Opera and Prog Rock.
Anna Fur Laxis (TG Debut)
http://www.annafurlaxis.com
Anna Fur Laxis is a full-time Superhero Housewife who's superpowers entail constantly getting into scrapes for which the only solution is to take off her clothes. Generally found with a cup of Earl Grey tea in hand, Anna's interests include adding to her portfolio of housewifely skillz and mincing around in rubber and pencil skirts. Or rubber pencil skirts.
Anna Fur Laxis is an international sensation. Having taken the UK by storm, this Axe-Wielding Burlesque Performer and Pin Up Model has jetted across borders to shake and shimmy on the stages of Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, New York, Milan, Paris, and Tokyo.
Suri Sumatra
(No Website - Fan Page on Face Book)
One of David TG's Favourite shows of 2009 and back for her first show at TG for 2010.
Suri Sumatra is an established London-based performance artist, dancer, singer and model. Her routines are designed to pull at your heartstrings with enigmatic charm and eccentric aesthetics. From Balinese to Butoh, Kabuki to a wild frenzied bout of Charleston - expect the unexpected.
Suri thrives on the creative process and is always actively collaborating with other artists, costumiers, film makers and photographers in various creative and experimental projects.
Joe Black
http://www.misterjoeblack.com
The neo-vaudevillian, the real life Disney villain, the gin-addled courtesan, the anti-christ of cabaret and the one and only waltzing cynic...
Eccentric to international stages, Joe Black takes to shows in an almost cartoon-esque musical assault.
We're very concerned...
Ophelia Bitz
http://www.opheliabitz.com
Ring mistress, singer, compere and fire-eating dancing diva. She is the Front-wench of Ophelia Bitz and The Tijuana Bibles, your new favourite romanti-maudlin theatre band.
When she isnt singing about sex she is Campaigning For Compassionate Promiscuity while
walking in the woods, singing and smiling at dogs rather than their owners.
Djs: Duncan De Morgan, Joe Black, Mark Charade, David TG
Special Guest - Markabre Charade
Markabre Charade: Prime mover of insalubrious demi-monde boudiors and ballrooms, his lithe and elegantly attired form tempts fair ladies to a fall from grace even in the most morally lax gin palaces. He's also a totally awesome DJ and shit y'know.
Markabre spins the mutated waxy detritus of every Eurasian diaspora. A time-traveling sideshow of audio oddities is condensed for your listening pleasure into a set as tight and sharp as a well polished curse. Simultaneously evocative of eras past and man-about-town modern, his selections bely his pickpocket scoundrel youth as he selects only the choicest musical marks for a hit.

From a background in the fetish and body modification scenes of London, Hellen originally took to the stage to be bound and pierced in 'Hacktion Mutante' with the French group Art Kor. Realizing the potential of live performance and the opportunities it gave her for self exploration, Hellen began appearing in pieces created by others, most frequently on stage at the Torture Garden club.
