Chris & Dom’s Sunday Almanac

Growing up queer it’s hard to find your tribe. To find your fit. To truly belong. The years at school forever avoiding eye contact, hiding in corridor corners, head down in the library, and not making a fuss seemed endless, the desire to be invisible as strong as your wish to survive those difficult queer teenage years. Shame and fear mixed with the raging hormones … Continue reading Chris & Dom’s Sunday Almanac

Re-booting our Archive: Our Tales of Lesbian Brighton & Hove

What we did mattered. It always has. Lives lived, changes created, connections made. And if you were like me back in the late 80s / early 90s – it mattered that it was all done in a pair of purple Doc Martens. As a non-binary lesbian with a history that needs telling and passion for the photography and the ephemera of that life be they … Continue reading Re-booting our Archive: Our Tales of Lesbian Brighton & Hove

Wildblood and Queenie: Brighton Beach House 29.06.24

New Mix Alert. That thing we do where we play records to others so they can nod their heads in enjoyment, tap their feet and shake their hips has happened again. And we remembered to press record — quite a feat at our age! So get set for three hours of disco of the soulful, poolside, nu kinda kind. All disco-no vibe killers. Listen, like, … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie: Brighton Beach House 29.06.24

Listen again: 1BTN 28.06.24

We returned to the 1BTN bunker last week and played tunes. We spoke to our dear listener and we played some more tunes. Others joined in on a thing called a chatbox and we danced like no one was watching. We support rated label mates and tunes we adore. Arnie had an afternoon nap and Queenie did a DIY dash. It was alright really. You … Continue reading Listen again: 1BTN 28.06.24
