Nights Out

Shanti Barn Party is the latest Psytrance event i've been to and was held in the deepest recesses of the Lake District on the 15th and 16th April. It was amazing.

Last night I went out local and surprisingly I had a great night. I’d been in Manchester all day and was going to stay and go round the village but because it was a cold day or the new COVID BS regulations put people off everywhere was quite quiet and at 6pm I headed back …

Let's be clear here I don't normally get really drunk. I don't know why but I seem to have some kind of inbuilt filter, most of the time. Which when I get to a certain point I just stop drinking almost like an off switch. My problem when I get drunk is that I'm a …

Tonight I’ve had the misfortune to experience a tirade of homophobic, transphobic and drunken abusive behaviour from somebody on a night out in Manchester’s, Gay Village.

I went for a night out in Manchester on the first weekend after lockdown, on the 16th and 17th April. This is my recollection of the night out and what Manchester was like. I wasn’t actually planning to go out on 16th of April but the events of the week transpired that I ended up …

Thanks to the "We're all going to die" Coronavirus lockdown, the Sparkle 2020 annual Sparkle Event for Trans, Non-binary/Genderfluid and Intersex festival, was cancelled. However, because we all isolated and put our sad little lives on hold and didnt die, we're here to tell the tale. On 4th July (so, very apt this being Independance …

When I go out, out I love how it makes me feel and wanted to put down in words how does it feel getting dressed up to go on a night out? How does it feel to get dressed up as your alter ego to go on a night out? For me the majesty of …

It’s New Year’s Eve and tonight I’m off to friends over in Burnley to party! The very same friends who got married a few weeks ago but this time I have somewhere to stay so can relax and let my hair down. But first I’ve got to get through the day! First thing is I …

Selfie Friday the 13th! is that unlucky? Superstition says so but what the hell, lets go somewhere new, do something new, experience something new on this of all superstitious days.
