Princess Julia is a mainstay of London’s queer underground. A model, DJ and “first lady of fashion’ she’s hasn’t spent a night in since 1977. She’s a regular on the front row, a champion of avant garde designers and a regular DJ at the likes of The Glory and Dalston Superstore.
Wayne Shires has been putting on the very best in queer parties since the late ’80’s hosting legendary nights at Substation, Crash, The Cock and his clubs East Bloc and Brut. He’s relocated to Hastings these days where he runs Queer On The Pier, the annual all day festival featuring queer cabaret and DJs and The Trinity Town House.
Martin Aston has been writing about music, film and LGBTQ+ culture for over 30 years. He's the author of ‘Breaking Down The Walls Of Heartache - How Music Came Out’ - one of three books he’s authored - and a contributor to, amongst others, MOJO, Q, The Guardian, Radio Times, The Times and BBC Music online.
After the panel, DJ Mike Menace will showcase tunes from Box Of Sin plus his choice of tracks across the genres featured from Hi-NRG to Divas. Tickets very limited - follow the link and buy yours now.

Support comes from Lisbon’s own Jorge Caiado (Carpet & Snares Records / Groovement / Inner Balance)
