Happy birthday Barbra Streisand
Happy birthday to my first and always ever crush. Thanks to her this buggered nose of a queer who had a thing for gutsy ballads and heartbreaking cinematic performances knew nothing could rain on her parade. Continue reading Happy birthday Barbra Streisand

It’s International Women’s Day this Friday and 1BTN will be filled with the sounds of women all day long as twenty six presenters and their special guests deliver a day of celebrating, campaigning and fundraising for Threshold BHT and The Girls Network. As per I got to write a few words about it on the 1BTN website. As per I got a little over emotional … Continue reading IWD19 connections on 1BTN
50 Tunes For 50 Years: Solange
Every week when I was a kid we’d head up the path beside our house to my Granny’s bungalow to pay the rent on 60 Pole Barn Lane. And every week after she filled in the rent book she’d hand over two Fox’s Glacier Fruit and our 10p pocket money. The candy was a thrill but the pocket money was the escape pod. Ten whole … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Solange
50 Tunes For 50 Years: Japan
I once had a friend who was saving herself for David. In all seriousness. Sylvian was all she wanted and wished for and although by the time Japan graced my sound system, I knew I my love life would be fulfilled at slightly different tomorrow parties I was happy to second that emotion. For more than a moment back then in the 80s David Sylvian, Steve Jansen, … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Japan
Still Wild At Heart
I am an international woman (cape optional) and I have my own day. Literally. My birthday is the 8th March, this year my 50th (how the disco did that happen?) and I’d like to think that women across the world have only one thing on their minds as they gather to celebrate and campaign. Okay, maybe not, but sharing my celebrations on a day when … Continue reading Still Wild At Heart
50 Tunes For 50 Years: Average White Band
This one is for my little sister Joanne. The lass I rarely see, the lass life has kept from me but the lass who will always be. Chalk and cheese, we never saw eye to eye on much, mine an awkward life not suited to her confident Essex ways. She was the sweet, I the sour, she the popular, me the acquired, her 70s brash, … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Average White Band
50 Tunes For 50 Years: Soldiers Of Twilight
All it takes for my heart to fall in love with a tune is a diva who knows her way to my soul. A tad of a tall order but something Lady Bird does within the first bar of this essential house track by Soldiers of Twilight. More uplifting than a crane driver on MDMA, this house beauty has accompanied some of the finest dancefloor … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Soldiers Of Twilight
50 tunes for 50 years: Nitro Deluxe
It was Guildford 1987 and I had heard a tune like no other, a tune I couldn’t get out of my head. A glorious man called Mark I had found myself house sharing with (responsible for enough gay life lessons to last me, well, a lifetime) was a disco devotee and always happy to confirm my first childhood love for the cowbell and strings. But … Continue reading 50 tunes for 50 years: Nitro Deluxe
