Christmas is over, the election is out of the way, the year with all its trials and tribulations is nearly history, so it's time to let your hair and celebrate the promise of better times ahead.

In the last century, the 1920s were the party decade. It was known as The Jazz Age, a time of fast cars and fast women and even faster men. It saw the rise of the The Flapper and the decadent cabaret club, flowing Champagne, stimulant drug-taking and cross-dressing as demonstrated in films like The Blue Angel with Marlene Dietrich and by pictures taken in venues like The Cotton Club in New York and in the underground clubs of Berlin during the period of the Weimar Republic as depected in the musical Cabaret.

So will the next decade be the 21st century's Roaring Twenties? We may get a clue from this year's New Year's Eve parties. Here's a selection...
