THAT WAS 2009…

Two thousand and nine. Bit of a blip really. Anyway, here’s our video highlights of 2009:

DJ Oliver M
DJ and Matinee promoter Oliver M talks about the state of London gay clubland. We like a bit of Oliver M. He dared to take the leap out of the Vauxhall triangle when everyone else was saying it wouldn’t work, and we’re liking his clubland passion.

Scottee: Buy a better you
Scottee Scottee. Twisted club performer and singer extraordinaire. Here’s an interview about his first one-woman show at London’s Soho Revue Bar. We were impressed with his voice. No lip-synching and a good set of lungs. Top marks.

Face of Fashion Emmanuel Ray heads to London Alternative Fashion week where he himself got more attention than most of the models with his three meter feather hat.

Jodie Harsh
Kasheik Paisley interviews drag addict Jodie Harsh at her London flatette. Unfortunately most of it was cluttered with wigs and cigs. She never gets back to us. That’s because she’s famouser. Innit.

Jeannie Dee Coming Out:
Former trucker, now DJ Jeannie Dee talks about her life as a transvansexual for our Coming Out videos. It all started when he was having a slash in a motorway layby and a tranny popped out of the bushes. You couldn’t make it up.

Coming Out Stories:
For London Pride 2009 we headed down town to find out your coming out stories. One of the most inspiring was a lesbian called Orla and her story…

Paul Burston and Christian Fundamentalists
So we were waiting at City Hall for Peter Tatchell to turn up for an interview, when we bumped into Paul Burston. When the Christian fundamentalists turned up, Burston goes mentalistic. You can take the man out of Wales, but you can’t take Wales out of the man.

Boris Johnson’s blurred Pride Speech:
So we went to City Hall for the pre-Pride party for London Gaying organisations. In a year when homophobic hate crimes were on the increase in the city, we couldn’t believe our ears when we heard Mayor Boris Johnson’s bumbl-o-maticing speech, which would have been great for a comedy club. Unfortunately for us, and you, it sounded like a half-arsed attempt to say something vaguely inspirational. But in Latin backwards. Nice chianti and dips though.

Debbie McGee at Franks Closet
Superstar Debbie McGee and the Franks Closet cast talk about the show. We loved a bit of Franks Closet. Camp-o-rama with plenty of balls.

East End attacks
Jeannie Dee superstar DJ was DJing at The George in London’s fashionablahblah Shoreditch when a gang of Bengali youths tried to storm the place. Smokers outside were punched, while others tried to get inside. The gaypers report nothing.

Stewart Who

Hate Crime
Ian Baynham gets murdered in Trafalgar Square as he gets off a bus. Police look for a man and two girls. A facebook group organised by Mark Healey attempts to gather people in Trafalgar Square to support a vigil against hate crime. We headed to Soho to find out people’s views. We were disappointed to find that the vast majority of gayers didn’t even know anyone had actually been killed. A depressing day.

Hate Crime Vigil
The London Hate Crime Vigil fills Trafalgar Square with gayers and their friends to stand against all forms of hate crime…

DJ Nathan6
DJ Nathan6 talks to HOMOVISION about clubs, clubbing and the London scene. We like the 6. Anyone who talks about Brenda from Xfactor and progressive house in one sentence can catch our bus.
