Mystic Fergus Gibson is here to read our auras. There's no escape. Anyone attending the RTE bash at the Sugar Club is grist to his mill. "Ah, I see you have some lower-back pain," he says to a passing hack.
"It's your personal rainbow and it's as private as your fingerprint," the Dubliner explains of the aura. "It's an electro-magnetic energy field." And Londoner Adam Higgs, a clairvoyant, is ready to practise palmistry on all those who have come to party and hear about Network 2's "new music epicentre", which is to be called 2TV and will "encapsulate all musical output" at the station.
Aura unremarked, Dave Fanning, one of the epicentre's main presenters, wanders by. And Bianca Luykx, another presenter at the epicentre, skips off without having her palm read.
