It was 1996 that the man behind the concept, Dave Edmond, brought The Switchblade Sisters to London and enlisted the help of other major talents on the scene at that time. Together with Panic, Nich Overend and Myka Quinn, they put together the infamously successful underground club which ran for 18 months. More than a fetish club, The House of The Switchblade Sisters developed a reputation for being an avant-garde playground of debauchery and fast achieved cult status.
The House of The Switchblade Sisters was forced to take 'temporary retirement' when the ubiquitous Dave and his entourage began work on new projects, including the organisation of a sequence of corporate and private parties in the America and London's biggest fetish event, the Rubber Ball. After meeting the multi-talented Jules in early 1999, Dave decided to resurrect London's coolest club and, together with Panic, they planned the now legendary six week run at Madam Jo Jo's in the heart of Soho. DJs included Panic [Pure Industrial, Slimelight], Sir Psycho and Mr. Wolf [Bound 'n' Gagged] and Rex [The Electric Ballroom]. Noisex flew in from Germany to take center stage for just one night and London's top performers Vivid Angel, Yella and Paulo shocked and delighted the audiences with heart-stopping shows. With themes like voodoo, sex and death and pain and domination, the nights were a runaway success and everyone involved was sorry to see the season come to an end. Following an inundation of offers to get involved in other clubs, Dave, Jules and Panic went into partnership with Nich and Rachel from Gwendoline to create the regular night that is the Adventures of Gwendoline. After a period of residence at the Fringe, Gwendolines has recently moved to Stunners, in the Kingsland Rd. Dress code: "We want to attract a variety of people with a variety of interests and contributions, so an attitude code would be much more relevant. We will not admit loads of people in regular street clothes, but we will admit newcomers to the scene if they contact us and give us a name in advance. "We do encourage people to dress up because it makes the events visually more interesting and people tend to be less inhibited when they also dress their fantasy, but we will not operate a fashion police. its too much like the attitude that forces minorities underground and we don't want to be part of that."
