Let there be dykes: how the dancefloors of Brighton made a DJ pioneer. In conversation with Michelle Manetti
I have a claim to DJ fame that always brings the grin. Michelle Manetti was once my go-go dancer. It was a long time ago. The music was different. The dance moves different. The hairdos were very different. As was Michelle. The determination in the soul of our Michelle was declared. There for all to see. Now as then, focused on making the dancefloor a … Continue reading Let there be dykes: how the dancefloors of Brighton made a DJ pioneer. In conversation with Michelle Manetti

For us, that DJ is Bestley, the queen who delivers disco, house, soul, funk, rarities and classics with style and with grace. Be that at Feel It, Glitterbox, Horse Meat … Continue reading The Wildblood and Queenie 1BTN Show w/ Bestley
A speech for our Dyke Pride times
When I came out in 1987, my mum’s reaction was, at least you get to wear sensible shoes. I turned up in Brighton in 1990. All shaved head and Doc Martens and big brown eyes. I did what any baby dyke would do arriving in a new city. I slapped it about a bit. I fell in love with house music. I swam in the … Continue reading A speech for our Dyke Pride times
