Clinic birthday party hits the right note

Birthday celebrations to mark another year in the life of design group Clinic produced embarrassing situations for many of the staff present. Revellers even queued to get on stage at the Kensington Roof Gardens to sing a line of Lou Reed’s song Perfect Day along with former members of pop group Squeeze.

Anton Pace, the group’s new business guru, not to be outdone, took to the stage with his own close harmony combo The Judith Charmers. The band sported orange brocade jackets with velvet trim.

‘I made an absolute tit of myself,’ says Pace.
