Name: Nick Clayton Title: Ibiza writer
Alias(es): Nick Clayton +1 (guestlist organisers please note)
Known associates: More like a motley selection of unknown associates including bar owners, chefs, pool cleaners, artists, photographers, writers, party organisers, journalists, models, plumbers and wannabee DJs. Actually, in common with eveybody in Ibiza, they're all wannabee DJs, except for the DJs. They're wannabee rock stars.
Regular haunts: Any of the hip and happening clubs, restaurants and bars in Ibiza. His presence is always required thanks to his special talent of making everybody else look beautiful, young and sexy in comparison.
Last sighted: Outside Pacha at 7am wondering how a quick drink at 9pm came to this and thinking there must be somewhere else open.
Current mission: Keeping Deck of Secrets iPhone app users up to date on Ibiza's openings, closings, new places, old places with new names, new places with old names, who is playing where on which night, what's new and happening, what's old and tired, where to go and where not to go. Remember: I'm punishing my liver on your behalf.
Other activities: Writing, writing, writing. Nick will do anything to avoid getting a proper job. That includes knocking out complex technology white papers for businesses and offbeat celebrity profiles for Pacha magazine. Over the years his work has appeared in British newspapers such as: The Guardian, Sunday Times, Independent, Observer and Scotsman along with a string of magazines and websites of varying degrees of obscurity. In 2008 his first book was published: The Guardian Guide to Working Abroad. His great Ibiza sex, drugs and rock and roll novel would have been finished years ago if he didn't keep getting distracted by the subject matter.
Quote: "Growing old is compulsory. Growing up isn't."
