Sky-high cabaret at 450 feet with Sally and Spice

Drag Queens Sally Vate and Spice performed for the first time together as Shade and Shimmer 450 feet up the British Airways i360 last week.

THE sold out event attracted a diverse, mixed crowd to the seafront attraction, with both performers working their socks off, despite the poor sound system, to get the crowd on side.

Once the sound is sorted out, this venue has the potential to become a real option for cabaret with the stars.
