Like all good autistic souls, I can take a while to recharge. Like all good autistic souls, I can take time to crack on with my to-do list. Sharing the Sunday Sundae Pride Reunion love is no chore though. A joyful, wonder of a day spent with new friends and old. Wowing at the brilliance of those I am blessed to call friends, on and … Continue reading We love Sunday Sundae
An absolute pleasure to know this treasure – the incredible DJ Faro Love, wiggles and more love whenever she graces the decks. Dig in, get down, and thank the world for gems like our Katie. Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Faro (Live from The Basement) Defected Broadcasting House
At some point during the Friday of We Are Love this weekend Queenie and I did a live radio show – every tune had the word love in the title – Love is the Message after all and was dedicated to Hannah Sherlock, Mickey Jukes, Ben GC, Matthew Davids and the incredible 1BTN family. It lasted all of 90 mins then we got too, too … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie Show live from We Are Love
There has been a lot of talk in my head lately about the r-word. Retirement. Hanging up the headphones, saying farewell to the overload that can be life around the decks. Then We Are Love happened. Love is the Message happened. Saturday night in the woods happened. The r-word became reset. The doubt dismissed. The love for that thing I do with tunes standing beside … Continue reading We Are Love we love you
The thing they don’t tell you about DJing is it’s where love lives. You think it is all about the first 12” you obsess over, the divine disco you can’t stop collecting, the cowbell that follows you into your dreams, the house bassline that shakes you to your dancing core.

1987. Guildford School of Acting and Dance Stage Management course. Fresh out of school desperate to find the queer tribe Frinton’s cold sands would never give me. Dyed my hair, tucked my black knitted polo neck into my beige chinos (it was the look apparently), spent months on the wrong side of the Greyhound pub, and hooked up with some GSA darlings who played harder … Continue reading Guildford School of Acting 1987

It’s the place I learnt my DJ craft, the party I learnt to call family, the venue that soon became my home, the disco that gave me friends for life. It is Sunday Sundae and it’s been my queer mothership for nearly two decades now. A space where we can be ourselves, our glorious dancing, glittering, smiling, Speedo-clad selves. (Okay, maybe not the last one. … Continue reading Sunday Sundae Pride Reunion 2023
