BITCH, PLEASE!
Kongs, Cardiff
Sat 28 Mar
Imagine an LGBT+ clubbing scene with enough variety, and enough promotional pulling power, to entice good and noteworthy DJs – ones who honour the history of queer nightlife, and push it forward as well – to come and soundtrack it. Surely a ridiculous, impossible dream! Well not quite, some other places have it together, but unfortunately they’re not in the area this magazine covers. However, a glittery glimpse on what could be is on offer in Cardiff this month, courtesy of Bitch, Please! – a Bristol collective who have become a byword for inclusive club nights with myriad kings and queens of house, techno and disco tearing up the booth.
Debuting in 2016, with the first party under their own steam being graced by Honey Dijon and Spencer Parker, B.Please (as they’re styled on Facebook, presumably due to ol’Zuck’s pearl-clutching algorithms) have since been at the heart of every Bristol Pride, packed out the cavernous Motion venue with regularity and taken their wagon on tour to Glastonbury, Boomtown, Brighton and Cardiff (twice). For this party, DJs will include a few Welsh stalwarts seen too rarely of late: Kofi Tarris, Clare James and Butch Queen, harking back to the Backroom raves of nearly a decade ago. ZenZero and Rob Walker complete what should be a riotous bill.
Tickets: £5-£10. Info: 029 2064 4114 / www.kongsbars.com (NG)
According to Facebook, this is apparently still happening.
