On the evenings of Tuesday 28 August and 4 September, I am running two classes which are perfect for those either starting out with suspension or who would like to learn to suspend more elegantly and safely. This is a subject that seems rarely to be taught with the right depth. Sure, there are a …
Sorry about the problems with the site earlier this week. I have had a biblical plague of IT related misfortunes over the past few days. First, my new super-duper 40mbps line started dropping out regularly, usually with a page of unsaved data. After numerous calls and email, the BT engineer finally called to sort it …
This year we have a truely international line up. Here is the list so far, it is by no means exhaustive. Forgive me if I have missed any names or haven’t added models yet. I’ll update it as information is passed on to me. Above, you can see Ropemarks and Dutch Dame at Ropefest, who …
Clover is much more than the star of WykD_Dave’s shows, she has other talents.

Here’s exactly what happened. Gorgone, his model, was on the …
This weekend seems to have become Shibari Weekend. On Friday, there’s BOUND with special guests, Riccardo Wildties (Italy) and Gorgone (France), plus a great line up which includes WykD_Dave and Clover. Last month, Nina ran a spectacular night and made a lot of improvements. Don’t miss it this month. On Saturday, Wildties of Kinbaku LuXuria …
