The Dublin party pack, as I like to call them, were out on the town on Wednesday night for a special shindig hosted by one of their own, acting tour de force, George McMahon. Celebrating his 21st birthday in style, young George (well, 21 is young) took over the Sugar Club and threw one of the best birthday bashes seen in a while.
By the time I arrived, well after midnight (from the Glamour fashion show), the party was in full swing to the sound of a 10-strong instrumental band with George himself leading the dancefloor. Having recently left Fair City, where he played popular character Mondo, George is busy shooting a new movie based on the Stardust tragedy, which is being produced by Norman Siderow.
Taking time out to celebrate the 21st milestone, he was joined by a plethora of friends and family including his stunning girlfriend Lindsay Cowap, David Mitchell, members of boyband Zoo, Alan Amsby, BB's Ray Shah, Brian Ormond and Samantha Mumba and (new boyfriend!) Charles Porter. Actually, I was seated next to the couple and poor Charles looked like he didn't want to be there.
Also there were supermodel Caprice, Karl Broderick, Derek Mooney and Alan Hughes, who joined the party after the Glamour fashion event earlier in the evening.
Knowing George, the 21st will still be going on this weekend and judging by the size of the birthday cake (which was in the shape of a film clapperboard), there'll still be plenty of it to go round.
Question of the night: Who did I see throwing up outside the club as I was leaving? The young chap obviously had one too many cocktails.
