Blitz

First time DJs Corrina Hornsby-Walsh and Paul Challinor launch their queer and camp 80s-inspired club night Blitz at Glasgow’s Flying Duck. They were inspired by the realisation that the city, which is so on trend and has a lot of diversity in both the music and fashion scenes, lags behind when it comes to diversity in the gay scene. 

They describe the music as being like “the mix-tape that your first boyfriend or girlfriend in High School never gave you.” Musically there’ll be a smattering of Culture Club, Kate Bush, Patrick Wolf, Beth Ditto, The Cure, The Smiths, Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, T-Rex, The Kinks…and maybe even a little Sleater-Kinney if you ask really nicely. “You feel so alone as a teenager,” explains Paul, “then you go to University and you start to find these people who ‘get’ you and you just kind of think, 'Where the fuck have you been these past four years?'" Expect New Romantic tunes and thought-provoking, hilarious visuals (remember when Paula Radcliffe peed in the street during the London Marathon? They have a clip of that).
