Lesbian shed life

Age 55 and this summer, I finally fulfilled a lifetime ambition as Queenie and I built our first shed. All 6ft by 4ft of imported wood, gritty roof felt and @wickes essentials, it’s the perfect potter base, a space to call our own as I get to reconnect with a certain slice of childhood nostalgia, the smell of compost, paint tins and odd sods dragging me back … Continue reading Lesbian shed life

It’s time for a house session Zap Club style as we bring the jackin’ acid house grooves to the British Engineerium.

The Wildblood and Queenie Show 25.10.24

Hey there lovers of relatively acceptable radio. We are back in the 1BTN bunker – set to bring three hours (yeah sorry about that) of queer dear disco vibes with added house intentions and a couple of melons.

Listen again: Wildblood and Queenie 1BTN Show 27.09.24

The bunker has always been a special place for us. A place to say hello to the new and the essential, to you dear listener. But it is sometimes a place to say farewell as we bring the tribute and the love to the souls we miss.

Wildblood and Queenie at Fat Tony Party Patterns 05.10.24 Live Mix

Time to revisit that party that blew the doors of Patterns Brighton Rave Cave as DJ Faro, Fat Tony and our good queer selves combined for a daytime party like no other. From the deep disco-infused house cuts via some right-banging classics, must-dance disco and divine deep house we jacked it, we had it, and we loved it.

My Queer Museum: Wildblood and Queenie

So it’s finally happened. We’ve ended up where we belong, in a museum. Yep, we’re that old. Wildblood and Queenie – archived for the nation thanks to My Queer Museum as we babble on about basslines past, discos done and lesbian adventures had. It’s all here. Every grown breaking moment of history you’d expect from two old queer disco dears as we donate to the … Continue reading My Queer Museum: Wildblood and Queenie
