It’s tly the end of an a gay teenage Londoner the mid-90s, the first club I went to was Heaven, which felt somehow pulsory.

And, like many other misfs, weirdos and queers, I felt right at this went agast the gra of the 90s gay scene. Rather than gym culture, dance mic, strippers and pills, Duckie meld the boozy bonhomie of gay die-pop night Popstarz wh the live-art vibe of the ICA, creatg what lled “homosexual honky-tonk”. Ls nsumerist-aspiratnal gay, more sarky art-school queer, the crowd was thoughtful, bolshie and (mostly) kd.

The RVT beme a space of gay socialisg after the war and was central to London’s 60s drag boom.

Ben Walters Duckie’s Saturday nights at the Royal Vxhall Tavern end wh Gay Shame on 2 July. There was a sense of havg a shared aim and beg an alternative to mastream gay culture.

I’m performg at Duckie on 18 June and when I was wonrg what to do, I sudnly remembered a character I ed to play – a gay man who talks about sex all the time. So I will be reprisg has been very fluential the sense of puttg forward what I would ll a queer athetic, as opposed to a gay athetic.

Photograph: Am Lennon/The ObserverDuckie was such a clear alternative to the sanised, cynil, money-makg London gay clubs of the 1990s. It’s such a wonrfully queer and creative world and has been pivotal the gay muny. We were playg rerds that you didn’t really hear clubs – X-Ray Spex, Kate Bh – whereas everythg on the gay scene back then was hoe or really chey pop.

GAY SHAME 2018

We had no experience of playg to gay crowds, even though we’re gay ourselv, so we were like: “What are the gay people gog to do when they hear Jilted John or Sound and Visn, are we gog to get attacked?

I thk the ls rigid mic that you hear on the gay scene now has que a lot to do wh and the fact that people are more open about what you n have on stage, rather than jt a drag queen.

Born the Wt Midlands, he worked as an NHS dlogist before beg a wrerWhen I moved to London the mid-90s, I uldn’t fd any plac on the mastream gay scene that felt like they were for me. Wh the Saturday night endg, feels like the gay scene is beg that b more homogenised. [The night] was unashamedly, proudly, liberately and flamboyantly gay and that’s always cheerg.

I talked about my gay life. Bee ’s odd, beg a very public gay woman. There were lots and lots of leather boys and had that air of a b exced, pent-up sexualy that gay boys generate.
