Winter Pride is almost upon us, with four separate rooms of dancing and everyone who’s anyone playing from Tom Stephan to Hannah Holland to Homoelectric’s Jamie Bull.
With so much on offer just how is a girl to decide where to strut, where to vogue, where to spy on hot boys, where to secretly stuff your face and where to find the daddy of your choice to take you home. Never fear, we’ve provided a suggested guide* to where to dance and when at Winter Pride…
*But of course, dance wherever the spirit takes you babes!
9PM East Side Room: For all you earlybirds, your first port of call should be the dancefloor of one Mister Jonjo Jury. This super-cutie delights dancers from Savage Disco to Club Sandwich in Paris and will lay on one heck of a warm-up! He’ll break you in gently ahead of eight hours of Pride partying.
10-11PM Girls Room: It’s okay, you can admit to us you LOVE going to Clam Jam. Boys love being surrounded by lesbians grinding to the sound of Bica and Packin C (aka Cathal)’s signature sleaze 2 pleaze sounds. Get it out your system early.
11-11.30PM Food Arch: By now you’ve probably worked up an appetite and really should eat before everything you know you’re going to imbibe takes effect. Hit up Burger Bear for the dreamiest cheeseburger you’ve ever had. You can thank us later.
11.30PM-12.30AM Dressed As A Girl Arch: No dancing just yet babe, we don’t want you to get burger bloat now, do we? Why don’t you go spend an hour in the company of Jonny Woo & Co and relax amongst East London’s fiercest drag queens. Maybe catch a show from either Rudi Douglas or Rhyannon Styles… who knows what will happen in that magical hour?!
12.30-2.30AM Main Room: By now you’re ready for bumpers and pumpers! So scamper off to the main room and catch the inimitable Smokin’ Jo! Followed by headliner and sexy Spaniard David Penn. It is absolutely time for dancing and prancing.
2.30-3.30AM R&She Room: Depending on how tipsy you are; you might just be feeling a little diva right now. In which case, may we humbly suggest popping along to the R&She room in one of the outside arches. Sing your heart out to female-vocal r&b, just like you do at home. On the bus. On the loo…. We know.
3.30-5.00AM Horse Meat Disco: R U Ok hun? Do you need a cuddle from a disco-infused bear? Head to the Horse Meat Disco arch then obvs! Severino and Luke Howard are joined by Jamie Bull of Homoelectric Manchester fame and all three of these beauties know how to pound a disco beat. Go to there and dance!
5.00-6.00AM Main Room: You’re still standing? Ok good, head back to the main room and let Paul Heron whisk you into a tech-house wonderland! END SCENE.
