Whether you have been directly affected, or this has affected your friends/family, favourite venues or events, it’s time to speak up! … Continue reading Protect Music Save Culture
Wildblood’s Arctic Tern Challenge – fundraising for Level Water
There’s something about cold water swimming that does it exactly what it says on the tin. It brings a feeling of calm, connection and community. So inspired by the Salty Seabirds of Brighton and Hove I will be getting in the sea 4 times a month from November 1st to 30th April as part of the Arctic Tern Challenge – a moment of perimenopausal madness … Continue reading Wildblood’s Arctic Tern Challenge – fundraising for Level Water

Perfect Distraction: Sophie Ellis-Bexter’s Crying At The Discotheque
I’ll be honest here, I don’t like change. So when Spiller added some Sophie Ellis-Bexter vocals to Groovejet back in 2000 I wasn’t best impressed. I like my house music like my flock wallpaper, stripped back. But as the years passed and the Aspergers wiring was challenged I grew fond of the lass who was Janet’s pride and joy. Fast forward 20 years (seriously!) and … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: Sophie Ellis-Bexter’s Crying At The Discotheque

The Wildblood and Queenie Show on 1BTN 161020
For our latest 1BTN show we asked some of our DJ friends (you know, the unviable ones, the ones about to be retrained into a proper job) what tune they would like us all to dance to, separated as we are right now by closed borders and empty dancefloors? And boy did they deliver. Tune after tune after tune filled with love, celebration, defiance and hope. So … Continue reading The Wildblood and Queenie Show on 1BTN 161020
Let The Music Play
The past week I have really struggled, my mental health buckling under the reality that is the new normal. The industry I love, the industry I call family is being left to flounder, life-support removed, jobs lost, hope fading. Where once a Tory Chancellor accused disabled people like me of being skivers hiding behind closed blinds, another now declares me unviable, fit only to be … Continue reading Let The Music Play
