Finally a face to face with filmmaker and Sink The Pink aficionado the lovely Joseph Wilson, then off to BFI Flare to interview David Hoyle who we think is still ‘Divine’, and finally meeting the multi-talented Lyall Hakaraia at VFD one of the best queer spaces in the East End. Whilst all those interviews are being edited, here’s a wee trailer of Lyall, resplendent in #Halson & #Chanel, welcoming us to VFD (formerly Vogue Fabrics)

As part of QUEERGURU’S quest researching the hotbed of queer East London, we came across Justin David as he was just launching his debut novel with a title we would have loved for our own memoir HE’S DONE EVER SO WELL FOR HIMSELF. A self-proclaimed working-class queer writer Justin is also a photographer, publisher and full-time teacher.
He’s passionate about living in Dalston with his partner Nathan Evans with whom he has formed Inkandescent a new publishing imprint to nurture and produce the work of up and coming writers. He called us via Facetime from his bedroom and although we discussed many things, I foolishly failed to ask him if the rope so prominently displayed behind him was part of another passion. Maybe next time.

Le Gateau Chocolat is the nearest thing the queer community has to a renaissance man. This multi-faceted performer with an exquisite baritone voice is equally home of the stage of the Royal Opera House or wearing outrageous drag acting the fool at Jonny Woo ‘s The Glory in London’s East End. He is wickedly funny, honest as the day is long, with a political conscience that puts us to shame.
We caught up with him in his dressing room at Gate Theatre where he is currently appearing in My Effigies of Wickedness

We caught up with director Matthew Gould on the eve of the Musical’s opening at London’s Tristan Bates Theatre
