11/01/14: QX Club News braved the frozen streets of Vauxhall as the mighty Queer Nation landed on Barcode for its first party of 2014 last Saturday.
Attracting a sleek and sexy crowd for classic all-night-long QN antics, the gorgeous guys ‘n’ gals spent hours dancing their bumpin’ bootys off in aid of an extremely worthy cause – namely raising funds to fight against Uganda’s proposed barbaric Anti-Homosexuality Bill (life in prison for the ‘crime’ of being gay? WTF?!!).
Featuring two rampant rooms of sexy house licks and R&B anthems, those luscious grooves had the rammed masses throwing their hands up just like they did when this legendary bash first hit the scene way back in the 90s.
Mirror-ball-busting highlights included the top-rankin’ likes of Jeffrey Hinton, Supadon, Mista Pierre and Niyi Maximus Crown joining QN daddy, Patrick Lilley, at the decks for sizzling sets that kept the block rockin’ into the dawn – and we thought January was supposed to be a quiet month in clubland!
Congratulations to the crew for a fantastic party and to all the QN fans for supporting our LGBT brothers and sisters in Uganda. Patrick and his posse are back at Barcode on 25th January!
Barcode, 69 Albert Embankment, Vauxhall, SE1 7TP
