No other music sits right with us right now other than Bowie’s. No music feels untouched by his influence. And no part of our queer lives feels like it would have been the … Continue reading Wildblood & Queenie’s Bowie Wonders

Queen Josephine catches up with the marvellous Hollie Disco-Dolly and rediscovers the magic of vinyl…. particularly when the disco beckons. Where can we see you playing these days? I’m a strictly vinyl DJ which can be rather problematic when I’m booked for gigs! I explain that from the outset then I arrive at the venue to find only CDJ’s or unloved broken decks!!!

It may just be background music but those warm up grab-that-first-beer tunes tell you a lot about the night ahead.
