BrightonPride25: Celebrating 25 years of my favourite day
It’s hard to believe but 2015 will see Brighton Pride celebrate its 25th anniversary. It seems only yesterday me and my Doc Marten’s, hippy hat and shaved head were stomping through the city I love, banner in hand, pride in my heart. So I am thrilled and honoured to be part of the BrightonPride25, working alongside Pride Brighton & Hove and Alf Le Flohic to a new community … Continue reading BrightonPride25: Celebrating 25 years of my favourite day

With DSD in hibernation, Queen Josephine catches up with fellow DJ David Ethics to hear what he’s up to this winter. Where can we see you playing these days?

Wildblood + Queenie’s Wonders of 2014

UKIP That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore
Insomnia occasionally has its plus points but being awake late enough to hear the results of the Rochester and Strood by-election and Mark Reckless’ victory for UKIP isn’t one of them. How long can you lie there before you stop feeling grrrrrrrr? Not long enough it seems, because when I finally woke this morning the grrrrrrr continued as the news confirmed my country’s continued lurch to the right. … Continue reading UKIP That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore
Queenie and DJ Hollie Disco-Dolly do the SanFranDisco
Queen Josephine catches up with the marvellous Hollie Disco-Dolly and rediscovers the magic of vinyl…. particularly when the disco beckons. Where can we see you playing these days? I’m a strictly vinyl DJ which can be rather problematic when I’m booked for gigs! I explain that from the outset then I arrive at the venue to find only CDJ’s or unloved broken decks!!! Luckily vinyl is … Continue reading Queenie and DJ Hollie Disco-Dolly do the SanFranDisco

Review: Bitten and smitten by The 2 Bears
It may just be background music but those warm up grab-that-first-beer tunes tell you a lot about the night ahead. When The 2 Bears came to Brighton’s The Haunt this week the sound system was brought to life by Frankie and Donna, insisting we feel the love and relax. Yep a night with The 2 Bears a.k.a. Raf Rundell and Joe Goddard was coming our way … Continue reading Review: Bitten and smitten by The 2 Bears
If you go down to The Haunt you’ll be in for a 2 Bears surprise
The 2 Bears have been soundtracking my every wiggle this past month. Their joyous album The Night Is Young is a masterstroke in right proper dance music, ensuring no day is grey as they deliver track after track of Bear delights. From the lyrically pert Not This Time to the campaigning corker that is Money Man via the life affirming My Queen, it is a … Continue reading If you go down to The Haunt you’ll be in for a 2 Bears surprise

Its … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: Brodanse feat. Cari Golden ‘Nobody Walks’ Danse Club Records
