Usually when we see companies that come along to our regular Wednesday night business clinic, they have fairly formative ideas about what they're going to do and little idea about how they're going to do it.
Last night, we saw a chap called John who set up Tokyoblu 6 years ago and has been running it happily and successfully ever since. So it was vaguely embarrassing as everything we suggested, he was doing or had done already. Although we had one or two small moments of triumph when we managed to latch onto something he'd not thought about.
Really, he's waiting to be discovered. They have their regular club nights featuring their very own live band - which is pretty unusual (I suspected but having met him, can now confirm!) in club land. But they want more clubbers and more money so they can get bigger. From their demo CDs, they're doing something pretty special so if you're fancying a bit of a wriggling dance one Friday, indulge me and get yourselves along there. If I refer enough people, I might get a cool free T-shirt...
