A young, non-gay, male band, The Downtowners, attracted considerable attention. They persuaded many of the local cross-dressers to come into the pub and perform. Thus, the Queen of the Month contest was born. Every Saturday night the pub was packed to capacity. The show ran from September 1964 until May 1965 when the &#039;&#039;News of the World&#039;&#039; ran an article entitled &quot;This show must not go on.&quot; On that Sunday night the pub was so packed that every table and chair had to be removed. Crowds spilled out on to the pavement onto Old Brompton Road. The police closed the show. Many well known celebrities were among the clientele and the Lord Ranelagh is considered to have played a role in the history of gay liberation. The pub underwent several different incarnations as a gay nightclub, the last as &quot;Infinity&quot;, but is now closed. <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> Based on a Wikipedia article.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Earls Court]]<br /> [[Category:Pubs and bars]]</div>
