Queer women take over ‘Manchester Pride In Your Living Room’

Week seven of Manchester Pride’s series of Friday night shows will see queer women take over the LGBTQ+ charity’s social streaming channels with DJ sets and dance performances on Friday, May 29 from 8pm.

It is the third in a series of four weeks of original shows that have either been curated or funded by the LGBTQ+ charity to offer a platform to showcase the very best of Manchester’s queer talent.

The show will feature four DJ sets, from Mix-Stress of RebeccaNeverBecky, Jungle Julia, Black Betty and NIMMO, each accompanied by performances from dancers J and Ivy Profemme.

Mark Fletcher, chief executive for Manchester Pride, said: ‘This week it’s a bit of a rave. We’ve curated a show packed full of eclectic queer music with dance performances to compliment it. Tune in and dance round your loving room with LGBTQ+ people everywhere.’

The performances will be hosted on Manchester Pride’s YouTube at 8pm.

Donations received on the night will go to the Manchester Pride. Anyone who wants to donate £3 can text MCRPRIDE to 70450. Texts cost £3 plus one standard rate message and donors will be opting in to hear more about the charity’s work and fundraising via telephone and SMS. If you would like to give £3 but do not wish to receive marketing communications, text MCRPRIDENOINFO to 70450.

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Manchester Pride has launched a new online consultation process to ensure that it is able to continue to engage with the region’s LGBTQ+ communities throughout 2020 in spite of the current period of uncertainty and isolation for many.

Friday, June 5 from 5-7pm will be the women’s listening group.  To ensure that every guest’s voice is heard, the group is open to a maximum of 15 people per group using online platform Zoom.  The information gathered from this and other online groups will be used for the development of plans for the charity’s year-round community offer in 2021.
