Today I rage. Today I rage whilst I try to comfort my mother – stuck on an acute cardio ward waiting for an ICU bed for almost three weeks. Stuck in a ward doing quarantine for 10 days due to a COVID outbreak in her ward. Stuck in a ward unable to say one last farewell to her sick and elderly dog. Stuck on a … Continue reading Fuck The Tories
1BTN has been a much-needed haven, a musical heaven, and a beam of hope in some very interesting times. If you’ve ever danced, laughed or even wept (and tbh that has all happened during The Wildblood and Queenie Show) then do yourself a favour, come be a saviour of the radio station we all savour. You know what I mean. 1BTN is a not-for-profit radio … Continue reading 1BTN’s Supporters Club
Whenever the stars align and we are blessed enough to join Brighton’s DJ Daisha on the Pride terrace decks it is always a very special one, so imagine our delight when she asked us to join her for Daisha Invites – tonight Upstairs in Patterns’ Listening Bar.

In the end, there was no question about it. We just knew. Our best of best of best of 2020 was all about the tunes that made our year sound, that gave us hope. It was all about the tunes that soundtracked those disco moments we thought we’d never appreciate so much. Dancing in the garden, losing in the kitchen, staying in the car once … Continue reading Listen Again: 1BTN Best of 2020 Pt2
It’s simple as learning your ABC’s. The Tories need to learn the lesson of fairness and treat those in education right. Why study, why attend, why engage if all you work for is thrown away by an Education Department unwilling to listen or learn. From A-Levels to GSCE to BTEC the treatment of students has been appalling. This needs correcting now, its needs correcting today. … Continue reading Justice For Education
This weekend should have been our biggest. Brighton Pride is a vital part of our lives in the city, campaigning, celebrating and fundraising for our LGBTQI+ community. It is a wonder that never ceases to delight me and a weekend I am always proud to play a part in, no matter how small, how disco, how curated or how fabulous. COVID 19 saw that dream … Continue reading We Are Fabuloso Brighton Pride’s Digital Festival
