Consider Sunday night your aperitif to an awesome week! It?s relaxed and casual to ease you into a week of entertainment and fun. Grab a ?frocktail? ? the good times have started.  Featuring Hazel Leader and Paula Barnett Castillo, and DJ Bullitt will keep you grooving into the late hours.

International Mix & Mingle

We?re an international lot ? Lynda Topp of the Topp Twins recently discovered Lesbians when she travelled through remote Tajikistan! But you don?t need to go that far to find new friends ? come to Perrett?s Corner for a great night of fun and games to break the ice and meet women from all over the world.

Taste a few tantalising highlights from TOMBOI?s latest show which starts on Wednesday at BATS Theatre.  The irreverent Cathie Sheat and Andy Harness are silly LOLs (Lesbian of Laughs) who like gender-bending parodies.

Get your groove on with DJ Bullitt - into the late hours.

Tees & Tasting Tuesday

Tickets to Pleasure Palate ? chocolate & wine tasting at Butlers Chocolate Café are $25

Three treats for you tonight!  DJ2 is described as ?Blonde Bombshell meets Sexy Sax with a little base on the side?.  Just what you?re looking for?  We thought so!  DJ2 is followed by New Zealand?s only golf folk duo, the Low-Tees, and a lucky 50 women can take part in the sumptuous chocolate and wine tasting event at Butler?s Chocolate Café (tickets available at the Velvet Club stall at Out in the Square on Saturday 12 March, or at Butler?s Chocolate Café in Willis Street). 

Later, DJ Bullitt will get you to shake your tail feathers into the night.

Our Voices

St. Pat?s Day

Thursday 17 March 2011

Free for Outgames registrants; $10 general admission

For the love of the Irish, the Velvet Club presents our very own version of St Paddy?s Day celebrations.  We know there is an abundance of talented lesbians from around the Asia Pacific and beyond.  So now is the time to prove it!  Whether you?re a dancer, singer, comedian, juggler, impersonator... whatever your talent is, flaunt it on our stage during the open mic session and we?ll love you for it.  

Local gals, Debbie and Anji, will spur us on with their upbeat covers.  Sing your heart out to well-known favourites and drink on with the Irish!  

And DJ Bullitt will keep the party going!

Valentine's Day Celebration For Women

This Valentine's Day, the Velvet Club and Pink Sofa presented a celebration for women who love women!  Both singles and couples enjoyed great wine (the Velvet Club launched it's own bubbles and pinot gris with a pinot noir to follow) and food, the sultry sounds of the fabulous Paula Barnett Castillo, and some sumptuous treats at Perrett's Corner.  Thanks to all who attended, and made it such a successful night!

We've started a new trend of posing on our Pink Sofa - catch up on our page - we have all the best shots posted there

Open Mic Night Launches the Velvet Club

Towards the end of December 2010, we launched the Velvet Club with an Open Mic Night to give you a sneak preview of what's on offer during the Outgames. 

We were thrilled with the number of talented women who performed, and with the number of women who attended to show their support!  Thank you all, for making the night such a success. 

And, the Velvet Club poster girl now has a name that befits her elegance and beauty ... We proudly welcome Bella to the fold!
