"On some of the more lingering and lonesome nights as I relax in the glow of a gently crackling log fire, savouring a long measure of single malt whiskey, I reminisce about times past, of a long gone era that rests in the mists of time, way back in old ’59, somewhere in the heart of Cairo, Egypt's bustling and colourful capital, the once small but renowned night club, the Kensington now lies dormant, it’s stage silent, the worn black and white tiled dance floor empty, what was once a veritable hive of wild frenzy, alive with the sound of jazz and laughter, spontaneous applause and cheers now lies in silence, boards cover it’s once intricately etched windows, in it’s heyday during the late 1950’s, many a star appeared on it’s stage, in the years that it’s doors have been sealed, during the twilight hours of morning as light breaks, some say they have seen lights flickering in the cracks between the boards, and faint music coming from the interior, distant echoes of what it was in it’s halcyon days, one of the lesser know figures was a featured supporting artist who worked under the name of Sultan Abdul Aziz, “The man with the x –ray eyes” ******
