Hazel O'Connor on Saturday

Enjoy a sensational night of New Wave!

London City's tribute to Breaking Glass, with Hazel O'Connor, from the 1980's Punk/New Wave scene.

The hit film starring Hazel O'Connor and Phil Daniels, and broke the UK box office in 1981.

The film was called Breaking Glass and charted the success of a post-Punk/New Wave singer 'Kate' from humble beginnings, singing in rowdy back street bars, to sudden super stardom and her eventual meltdown.

Hazel O'Connor wrote and performed all of songs from the movie and just like her character in the film, experienced a brief superstardom in the early 80s with songs, Black Man, Eighth Day, If Only, Writing on the Wall, D-Days, Who Needs It and her most famous of all, Will You, which remained in the charts for 14 weeks.

In January 2022, Hazel suffered a life changing brain haemorrhage and remains on a very long and challenging road to recovery. 

Come and enjoy the show on Saturday http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/London%20City/128/113/23  

The Party starts at 12pm SLT (8pm UK), with the concert at 1pm SLT

The return of the World's Worst Gatcha

Do you remember when SL banned Spinning Wheels throughout the kingdom?

Well the great news is that Gatcha's are now 'legal' again, so long as the content isn't transferable.  There is more to it than that, but essentially that is what it boils down to.  See the Lab's story here

Back when they were outlawed we had to remove the World's Worst Gatcha from London City to comply with new rules, much to the disappointment of many people who enjoyed playing the machine to see what awful accessory it gave you.

We're really pleased to announce that it is back and in the hub and waiting for you to abuse it.

Every prize is a stinker, guaranteed!

Blondie on Saturday

It's the return of the Saturday Concerts, starting this Saturday at 12pm SL time (8pn UK)

Forty years ago (at least), waitress Debbie Harry, who had been performing part-time in a folk band, formed Blondie with her friend Chris Stein.

In 1976 they released their first album Blondie and from then on became a huge success in Australia, England and America.

Although the bulk of their hits were in a relatively short timespan from 1978 to 1981, their most successful release, Maria was not until the band reformed, many years later in 1999.

Now regularly touring again, you can enjoy the hits once more at The Blondie Tribute Concert, this Saturday in London City.  The party begins at  12pm SL (8pm UK) with the show an hour later at 1pm SL.
