Hatred whipped up into coverage destined to scare and seduce. The lesbian, gay and bisexual community harangued by a right-wing press determined to use their media to maximum effect. Brighton Pride was … Continue reading Hard News Channel 4 1992 – LGBTQ+ in the media
Wildblood and Queenie’s Queer Wedding – the illegal one in 1997. You know – the one where we had to make it all up, Sarah officiated, China was our bridesmaid, Wes and Christy our best men and our stepdad Joseph our videographer – alongside photographer Aaron. Readings were given by Helene and Clare, and the garden was decorated by Sade and Aaron. Meech babysat the … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie’s Queer Wedding 1997
As part of LGBTQ History Month, PRS for Music asked me to write about the Smalltown Boy who changed everything, the moment Bronski Beat reached out of my tv screen and showed me I would always have my queer tribe. So here’s my love letter to the queer 80s pop stars who made Thatcher’s inalienable right to hate us disappear and our glorious queer selves … Continue reading PRS Magazine: Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy
And so it was written somewhere in the annals of LGBTQI+ history that Wildblood and Queenie would often head down to the 1BTN Bunker to play tunes for the faithful. And occasionally, if the need took them by the short and whirlies, they would delve deep into their Shameless Housewife’s archive, dust the dust off their, erm, dusty boxes and lo – another radio show … Continue reading The Wildblood and Queenie Show 180222

Happy 2022 everyone. And what a better way to start a new year than with some downright shameless behaviour. It’s been thirty years since a club night called Shameless Hussies completely changed our lives. It brought us together. Less Jack more Jo, Shameless Hussies marked the moment we created a club night and started a love affair with house music, the Brighton queer club scene … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie’s 1BTN Shameless Hussies Special 21.01.22
Thirty years ago a club night called Shameless Hussies completely changed my life. It brought me love, community and a thing called house music. Less Jack more Jo, Shameless Hussies marked the moment I moved my vinyl addiction from the bedroom to the dancefloor and together with Tiz, Melissa, Queenie, Meech, the Venus Rising queens and the campaigning wonders Lesbian Strength, help create a moment … Continue reading Queer History Club (Bing!)
