In the cabaret room, The Rubyyy Jones (recently featured on The Drag Queens of London, London Live) will be presenting a revue, and Neil Henry will be dazzling audiences with his award-winning magic (sell-out show Edinburgh 2014). Tricity Vogue will be also be at Mimetic with her Songs for Swinging Ukeleles, while Marcus Reeves will be performing pieces from his debut album ‘Quicksilver – The Masquerade Macabre’ ‘injecting heart and humanity into a plastic pop world’ Gay Times.
