1977 and in alternative universe a lass called Carly was wondering where to go next. How to bond to the Billboard 100 and move on from the vain one. I like to think she wandered in a pub in Kemptown, that she got to spend some time with two wonders called Chris and Dom, danced with the St George’s Sunday saucepots and came home aglow. … Continue reading Chris & Dom’s Sunday Almanac w/Wildblood & Queenie
Queer cinema has always lit the way for this dramatic soul. The films watched with adolescent blushes as I hoped my mother wouldn’t note my interest in the lives of Oscar, Orton, Arnold, Quentin, or Maurice doing their queer thing on our Radio Rental. The unbridled joy of digging into Go Fish or the heat of Desert Hearts as I worked out my passions in … Continue reading Lewes Depot QueerFest
Found my first DJ record box in the loft today. 1992 and all that. An old typewriter box my few precious 12” just about squeezed into. Remember taking it with me to play at my first Brighton Pride gig – providing a soundtrack for a bar on Preston Park. Playing disco to one queer and their dog when my DJ heroine Vicky Edwards from Venus … Continue reading A 1992 Record Box

Thirty years ago a club night called Shameless Hussies completely changed my life. It brought me love, community and a thing called house music. Less Jack more Jo, Shameless Hussies marked the moment I moved my vinyl addiction from the bedroom to the dancefloor and together with Tiz, Melissa, Queenie, Meech, the Venus Rising queens and the campaigning wonders Lesbian Strength, help create a moment … Continue reading Queer History Club (Bing!) Vol #2 w/ Wildblood and Queenie

I didn’t leave with everything I owned in a little black case, it was a mate’s orange Ford Fiesta, but the feeling that echoed in my soul every time Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy played was the same. I needed to get away. I needed to find another place to go so I could claim who I really was. For I was a queer in Essex … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years : Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy

Disco runs through our veins, like Pride, like glitter. It’s the backbone of our days and the soundtrack to our nights. It’s the anthems of our community and the history of our dancefloors. Since those early queer-fuelled nights filled with our black, Hispanic, gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans brothers and sisters, disco has delivered the dazzling beats for our revolution. There would be no uprising … Continue reading Wildblood & Queenie’s Pride 20
