AS scenesters go, Ronnie Joice is better connected than most.

Mates with Pete Doherty and Carl Barat, he’s modelled for Dior, Hilfiger and K-Swiss among many others, played Glastonbury’s VIP bar and, as a member of briefly-notorious indie scamps Little ’Ans, been subjected to the rubber glove treatement aboard the Babyshambles tour bus.

All of which should give him plenty to talk about if revellers can prize him away from the decks when he appears as a special guest aboard the R You Invited VIP fashion air show boat party on August 22.

Boasting possibly the best view of Bournemouth Air Show, the party to launch Christian Audiger wine and champagne is billed as “very intentionally pretentious” and offers full VIP treatment with a complimentary bar, loads of giveaways, DJ Billy Casper and an after party at The Custom House, Poole with free cocktails and barbecue. Tickets on 07853 677960.

R You Invited are also launching Cheeky Friday at Penn Central from August 14 to celebrate the birthday of co-promoter James Bronson with live bands and DJs, while Ronnie Joice will be back as resident DJ for series of live music nights at Rubyz planned for October.
