After an excellent first birthday party, Night of the Jaguar are starting their second year by bringing the incredibly talented Eamon Harkin & Justin Carter (Mister Saturday Night) back to Glasgow. They invited Justin up here in November for what turned out to be a brilliant night so we're over the moon they have both him and Eamon coming to give the Vic bar the full Mister experience. Eamon & Justin started Mister Saturday Night in Brooklyn, NYC in 2008 with the vision of creating the perfect party space and since then have gone on to become an integral and essential part of both the New York and Global party scene.

We find just the right space, install a great sound system, make it feel like home (or your own back yard) and present music that we love. Then you show up and make the magic happen." ...

However striping away the media buzz what we have left is a great performance which shows us why Kanye is considered such a visionary in spite of his notoriety for distracting antics.
