LGBTQ History Month: Shameless Hussies gets regal
Back in 1992 Queenie and Michele Allardyce aka Xi-Xi used to play live percussion at the Coco Club at the Zap on a Saturday night and decided doing the same at Shameless Hussies might be a good idea. Michele said to Queenie ‘ go on – phone up that Kate woman and ask if we can shake our maracas at the next one’. Suffice to say … Continue reading LGBTQ History Month: Shameless Hussies gets regal

Listen again: 1BTN 22.12.23
I did a radio show. It was alright. Actually, it was one of my favourites as I rounded up 2023 and our 30th anniversary year of celebrations, reflecting on the three decades of tunes and disco action Queenie and I have been lucky enough to enjoy together. There was lots of love and lots and lots of house music. Soulful house. Funky house. Deep house. … Continue reading Listen again: 1BTN 22.12.23

Nothing groundbreaking or new in that sadly. But the sense of community in my … Continue reading Dance For Peace
