International Women’s Day 1BTN Takeover 2024
Each year March 8th makes its way on my horizon I’m always struck by how far we’ve come at 1BTN radio. What once was a shout-out on the social from the legendary Suze Rosser over 6 years ago for more female, trans women and non-binary folk to get down to Brighton’s finest broadcasting bunker and join their rota of talent has blossomed thanks to the … Continue reading International Women’s Day 1BTN Takeover 2024
ADHD, autism and me: sober life
Without the blurred lines, I see it now. I choose my parties, my crowds, my community. I fit because I want to. I dance because I love to. I’m random because I am. I say the wrong things sometimes because we all do. I fly because I want to. Continue reading ADHD, autism and me: sober life

And so it shall pass that two old queer dears who like a bit of disco and some house music will be near a microphone broadcasting some of the aforementioned type of tunes on the radio. 1BTN radio to be precise. The gov’nor is still trying to determine why he extended that invitation. Anyway, we will be doing our Wildblood and Queenie thing on 1BTN … Continue reading The Wildblood and Queenie 1BTN Show 210224
Listen again: 1BTN 26.01.24
We did another of those radio shows. Filled with wiggles and giggles as we embraced the brrrr of the New Year, determined to bring some hot flushes to the airwaves of 1BTN.

So if you want a sweet session of camp corners, disco classics, Friday bangers, a … Continue reading Listen again: 1BTN 26.01.24
Spirit of Zap Reunion
The Zap Club was always much more to me than just a name above an archway. Its influence on my life far greater than anything this wide-eyed queer suede head could have imagined back in 1990 when I first made my way to its famous if filthy Brighton dancefloor. The sea salt ingrained in the crumbling arches was as fundamental to my life as a … Continue reading Spirit of Zap Reunion
ADHD, Autism and me: waiting
First, it was the lights. Then the extractor fan, then the builders. Then the lights. Oh, the lights. My brain bickers as the lights flicker. Flicker, flicker, flicker. Waiting, waiting, waiting. 2, 4, 7, 12, 20 minutes late. The time passing by, ticking as loud in my head as the fan in the ceiling. Overloaded and over here as I wait my turn. Wait, wait, … Continue reading ADHD, Autism and me: waiting
Wildblood & Queenie’s Spotify playlist thing
So here’s one of those lists of tunes in some kind of particular order on a streaming service that will come in handy when you fancy dancing like no one is watching – either in the comfort of your own home all solo-like or in a neighbourly fashion with, erm, your neighbours. Music to make friends with, party with, shake hips to and ensure you … Continue reading Wildblood & Queenie’s Spotify playlist thing

ADHD, Autism and me: John Lennon’s glasses
“Is it better like this?” “Or Like this?” “Is it better green?” ” “Or is it it better red?” For a brain wired atypically that has always been the never answerable question. The optician a place filled with angst as my neurodivergent head struggled to find the right answer. The one without consequence. the one pre-approved by my skint single parent. #NowIKnow I’m autistic and … Continue reading ADHD, Autism and me: John Lennon’s glasses
