Sad to hear the news that Sweety of St Moritz Club has passed away - a Soho clubland legend. I'm sp pleased that I got to see and chat with him last year when I attended the Forty Fours show at Gaz's Rockin' Blues in November. Here is a shot that I took of him that night when he was still clearly enjoying himself after all those years of running the legendary venue. Blow Up was in weekly residence at the St Moritz Club from Jan 2015 to 2020 lockdown. Good times at a venue part so part of Soho clubbing history. RIP. PT
