Young Duckie host Azara meets with key players from the fledgling women’s scene in Vauxhall half a century ago

Featuring Siobhan Fahey, producer of the fabulous film Rebel Dykes and no relation to that bird from Bananarama. Rebel Dykes charts the early underground lesbian scene, from the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp in the early eighties to the S&M action and performance wrestling at Chain Reaction, the epochal bi-weekly Tuesday nighter at the Market Tavern from 1987

Longtime Vauxhall dwelling promoter, door whore, singer and polymath Fisch AKA King Frankie Sinatra had a central role in the scene and tells it like it is. MC Driweave remembers the halcyon days of Vixens at the Vauxhall

And legendary promoter Suzie Kruger talks about The Clit Club and its cultural ripples

They reflect on their journeys, on marginalisation, community mobilisation, rebellion and celebration

How did they survive, what was it like then and how are they doing now?

Plus ‘Beeb Man Sits on Lesbian’. Film clips and stories from the gutsy, brilliant piece of direct action from a group of lesbians who infiltrated the BBC’s Six O’Clock News live in 1988, to protest about Section 28, with recollections from activists Booan Temple and Sally Francis 

Plus live music from Paige Kennedy (TBC)
