Speaking at London's Proud Gallery venue, he said: "This whole venue is about as big as the entire stage Blur were playing on at Glastonbury a couple of years back. This is one of my favourite venues though.

Levi's Craft of Music at Camden Crawl with Graham Coxon

By eight o'clock the queues were snaking thirty deep down the cobbled alley feeding into Proud; maybe it was Graham Coxon - maybe it was word of mouth - that for breadth and adventure, the Levi's Craft of Music roster was well worth the hassle at the Camden Crawl.

Things had started early. By 2pm the private rooms flanking the arena - that used to stable horses injured pulling barges up Camden Lock - were packed with backstage activites, from opportune photoshoots and interviews, to the solemn figure of Fyfe Dangerfield trying various jeans on. Martyna Baker kicked things off - an Eska Mtungwazi-mould soul singer, 'Going hard tonight' she told us, her tone asperated and grainy like it came through a saxophone valve.

"Proud" to be Different

Converted from a two hundred year old, Grade 2 listed horse hospital and situated in the historic stables market, Proud Camden is a truly unique venue dedicated to showcasing the finest in newly emerging talent. From a who's who list of the top artists and bands including the likes of Florence and the Machine, Amy Winehouse and Babyshambles, Proud Camden has secured a reputation as one of the City's most influential and contemporary arenas for delivering first class entertainment and unrivalled uniqueness.

5 London Gallery Bars Mixing Culture and Drinks

"This isn't a new discovery or a "hidden gem" - for over a decade now Proud Galleries has brought behind the scenes insightful and sometimes controversial photography to the public ... The venue is a mix I see often in London: grime and glamour combined. Proud Galleries is an old horse hospital so the individual booths for drinking, dancing and chilling in are original horse stables with dancing poles on tables ... The newly refurbished, glass-clad outdoor area was once a courtyard and all the old brick floors have remained in tact. There are two gallery rooms - both turn into dance floors once the club nights, offering new and established bands and DJs, kick off. Come in the early evening for dinner to watch the transition from gallery to club."

Proud2 launch unveils refurbished superclub

Fire breathing, flexible felines on podiums and scantily clad hostesses were out in force creating surprisingly hypnotic visuals at the launch of Proud2 last week. There was some good music too. March 3 saw the opening party of the new superclub at The O2 Arena, packed with a line up of live acts and DJ sets from The Mystery Jets, The Bees, Friendly Fires, Horse Meat Disco and Mr Hudson.

Circus freaks and performance artists swinging from ropes and cages hanging from the ceiling entertained revellers along side the headline acts. Apparently organiser Alex Proud got the idea on a trip to Vegas and vowed to recreate the experience in London.

Following the £1 million refurbishment of the former Matter venue, the club is now decked with chandeliers and geometric painted walls.

The venue's second floor was home to the Leopard Lounge featuring gold Art Deco inspired leopard sculptures and strange gold spray painted bananas and chilli's strewn over the tables.

Where Proud2 might succeed, where Matter miserably failed is that Proud is running its own transport system until 6am in the shape of a menagerie of Routemaster buses to Liverpool Street, Kingscross at Londonbridge at £2 a ticket - so you are not left stranded in North Greenwich.

Also no more having to brave the cold outside the 02 - Proud shuttle buses will transport you from North Greenwich Tube station straight to the club door, every five minutes, from 10pm.

But fashions are nothing if not cyclical, and since 2006, the British entrepreneur Alex Proud has combined the modern cabaret-burlesque movement with a super club twist to give us Proud Camden, Proud Cabaret, Proud Chelsea, and most recently, Proud Brighton in 2010. According to his PR, all of the venues bear the hallmark house style of vintage cool and retro entertainment. Let's see about that.
