The owners of Auckland's longest-running gay bar Urge on K' Road, Paul Heard and Alan Granville, are celebrating their first anniversary in charge this Saturday with a massive party for all their regulars. It's been a busy year for the guys as they tried to fill the massive shoes left by original owner Larry Quickenden. “It's been a fantastic year, full of highs and we just want to show our thanks to everyone,” said Alan. “We can't believe a year has flown by since we took over.” Highlights of the year have included the Underware Parties, New Year's Eve and the inaugural Mr Urge Bear contest. “We can guarantee a great night on Saturday, full of our friends with a few prizes and surprises thrown in as well,” added Alan. Urge is now in its ninth year and shows no signs of slowing down with more big nights planned. Celebrate Paul and Alan's first year in charge in Urge Bar, Saturday September 23. Ref: GayNZ.com (m)
