One of the ways in which Chakra encourages self-expression is through fancy dress. Not the kind of naff fancy dress that you get on hen-nights, we’re talking serious dressing up for the occasion. Every month there’s a theme; this month it was Fairytales and Fantasy. Past highlights have included nights with names like ‘Wild West’, ‘Pink’, and of course ‘Rocky Horror’

By some huge fluke, the documentary stumbled on gold. A monthly party held in a warehouse in an industrial estate, across a motorway, which the taxi drivers have a hellish time trying to find. The venue is called the Soundhaus and it specialises in nights that play acid techno really loud and really badly. But somehow they'd heard about a night that was the antithesis of all such nastiness. The night is called Chakra, meaning "energy" in hippie speak. It exists in its own dimension. A very camp, very emotional, very uncool, dimension where everyone spends most of their time grinning, hugging and dancing with absolute wild abandon. And it's a very beautiful thing.
