On Eurovision night the world's largest - and ultimately the most extraordinary - discotheque closed its doors.
After eight years in business, The Saint said its goodbyes to a packed crowd of 5,000 native New Yorkers and visitor "delegations" from throughout Europe (including Ireland). Among the artistes who performed during the over the top closing party were BettyBuckley (of "Dreamgirls" fame), Sharon Redd, The Weather Girls and Mariena Shaw, whose rendition of "Suite Seventeen", inc. "Touch Me in the Morning" had dancers in tears. Viola Wills, expected to appear, had to opt out at the last minute. GCN Issue 5 will be carrying a tribute to The Saint from a Dublin man who was present at the weekend closing party.
