The Ouch House 200. … Continue reading Reason 86979272972 why I love Queen Josephine: Ouch House 200

Especially two women, the wonders that are Queen Josephine & Kathy Caton. Yep Wildblood & Queenies’ Home Service on Brighton’s RadioReverb had the award-winning touch as Brighton’s favourite LGBTQ champion broadcaster came off the bench, did her best Wildblood impression (maybe less … Continue reading Caton + Queenie’s Home Service on Radio Reverb: Supported by Forde Hair + Sh!
