Folks,

Just been on a little tour of Sakura and I can honestly say that the place is gonna be effing gorgeous !!! The manager seemed eager to point out that the music policy would be slightly commercial at times but certainly credible which was reassuring, by that I mean that it's not going to be the cheesetastic cheesefest that some are intimating.

I was walking round trying to imagine what each bit looked like when it was the Fez and it was really quite difficult, all very very plush and the illuminated dance floor is gonna be very 70's discomungus.

Of course my main reason to go was to check out the VIP room which will be my domain every Friday from next week and to say I'm pretty excited about it is a little bit of an understatement !!!

From what I can gather the crack with the VIP room will be that you book a table in advance for about £45/£50 (5/6 people per table I think) which obviously gets you VIP access with your own table, a bottle of Moet Champers and table service throughout the night of course accompanied by the delectable sounds of yours truly :-)

So essentially you are paying for a bottle bubbly between your group. They will also be selling bottles of spirits which you share between your group which will roughly translate to about £3.50 a drink so all in all pretty good value I reckon. Of course they have a normal bar in the VIP too so you don't have to go the bottle route.

So anyway I'm starting next Friday when Joey Negro is in the main room then the following Friday I think it's Hed Kandi again as they have a monthly residency.

Anyway thats about it.

Joey Negro is in the main room

Pretty decent DJ to get in, certainly not cheesy...fluffy yes, cheesy no.

Here here - I can also say I have had a sneaky preview and is certainly looking impressive for a building site!!! In particular the feature walls, hanging thingies (gd description there) and funky wallpaper - and of course the roof top terrace.

They won't have any decks up there yet because of the surrounding neighbours and noise pollution etc etc but might be something to work on eventually.

The team are really looking forward to having us on Bank Hol Sunday - they closed the GL ages ago but have let us have a wopping 45 spaces!!

I'm not sure if I am ready to cheat on Mango yet

Sounds awesome to me...

Quick piccie of the VIP lounge at the Sakura in Lincoln which should give you an idea of the general fee of the decor.

OMG - the dancefloor!!! I'm not gonna say anything, it's gonna be the best surprise!!!!!
