Hello Duckie!


Well, whatever happens in Big Brother tomorrow night, I'll have to catch up with it on video later, because I'll be at this!
What a fabulous press release!
Yes, it's the start of the bloody enormous Birmingham Pride/Queen's Golden Jubilee/World Cup/Double Bank Holiday weekend, also featuring the Gay Football Supporters' Network's annual weekend away, which just happens to be in Birmingham this year, and just happens to coincide with my ex's birthday on Saturday (who is a member of said organisation) and just happens to coincide with the first England game on Sunday morning.

Let's just say that again. Sunday. Yikes! Morning. Double yikes! We're watching the match in a pub, apparently. I may well be comatose by Tuesday.

"Fierce! brings the infamous London arthouse disco Duckie to the Irish Centre
this Friday 31 May for a rock'n'roll club night featuring contemporary dance
performance popsters The Cholmondeleys and The Featherstonehaughs. Duckie
is hosted by Miss Amy Lame with Disc Jockeys The Readers Wifes playing their
favourite records of all time - from the Pistols to the Hives, Kate Bush to
Le Tigre, Bowie to the Strokes.

"Clad in black corsets, stockings and suspenders, they sashay and goosestep
in four and a half inch heels. And that's just the men!" The Guardian on
The Cholmondeleys and The Featherstonehaughs.

for homosexualist refuseniks, culture vultures, drunks, effeminate straight
boys who like contemporary dance, moderne people who hate the theatre, bored
students, fortysomething ladies that were goths in the 80s, meaningful quiet
types, people that like men in tights, butch geezaladies, perverts who cant
get into other clubs, brian eno, thems that come just for the trade, joan
dairy queen, thems that think performance art is like kate bush but without
the music, people that work for the arts council, thems that think they're
part of the new wave of the new wave of new wave, teenage girls that wanna
dye their hair and change the world....and their friends and fans

IT'S A STUDENT DISCO
IT'S GAY CLUB
IT'S A PISS-UP IN A BREWERY
IT'S NEW TERRITORIES FOR INNOVATIVE NEW DANCE
