With the help of her adorable Mother, Cecily had the strength to hold onto her seat as the middle child in an Irish family of 13, eleven girls and two boys. She was a fantastic street fighter on Manchester’s tough council estates, something that stood her in good stead for when she lived as an ’out’ lesbian in the 1970’s . This was a rare sight at a very homophobic time. Despite or as well as her neurodiversity , Cecily has written and performed her unique style of poetry and has written sev ...

I'm halfway through my first year of high school. I'm about to break up with my first boyfriend (Nick Lachey from Episode 8!) but not before I enter into a super weird love triangle with my friend, who I will call "J," who is 6 years older than me. I have moved on from O-Town and am very into Dashboard Confessional and quote them to my journal ever…

The lyric to that very famous 80s TV theme song is 'sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name'. Whilst I think that's true I also think there are times where you want to go where nobody knows your name and where there's absolutely no risk of running in to anybody that you even vaguely know. It's that type of space that gave this week…

Are you one of those people that has a crystal clear memory of where they were and how they reacted when they found out about momentous moments in history? For instance, do you remember where you were on September 11? When you first heard of the Covid-19 outbreak? Most importantly, do you remember the first time you heard Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ …

I was gutted, understandably, when I found out earlier this year that my favourite queer bar, The Glory, was going to close. But I also had a bunch of questions, as it wasn't closing for the same reason that so many others do (£££). In fact, the owners opened a brand new venue, The Divine, within days of The Glory closing its door. So I needed to f…

One of the things that I get asked a lot when people find out that I do this show is 'well, why are queer spaces important? bars and clubs close all the time, why should we care about them just because they're queer?'.

San Francisco in the 80s. If you know anything about queer history then you may already know that that wasn't the most joyous of times.

One of the constant gifts of doing this show is the reminder of how privileged those of us who get to grow old are.

So, getting the chance to talk to p…

I think what's so magical about a place like London is the promise of what the city represents rather than what it can actually meaningfully offer people...

One of my favourite things about queer people is that they make shit happen. Ok, ok, so that's a massive generalisation. And here's another one...

So they don't have to g…

So, this week we’re doing something a little different. Rather than visit a lost space we’re setting out to answer the question ‘is the ancient art of cruising about to be lost?’.
