The Wild Fruit Dance Tent at Brighton Pride

Ever since I can remember I’ve got goosebumps about the Wild Fruit Dance Tent at Brighton Pride. As a punter, as an admiring mate of the lucky DJ on the stage or later as a DJ in the tent myself, I’ve loved it. It has thrilled me.

Why Brighton Pride really matters to me

So here we go, Pride Brighton & Hove 2014. That time of the year where you can’t buy glitter for love nor money, your to do list is the most random its ever been (beer, gay paper fans, Forde hairdo, fresh peas, Donna Summer mask?) and your just days away from the finest love fuelled moments you’ve had since, erm last Pride. Yep my glorious city … Continue reading Why Brighton Pride really matters to me
