• Argus - What’s On - 30th May 2008 -Dynamite Boogaloo @ Arc
  
  Argus - What’s On - 30th May 2008 Dynamite Boogaloo @ Arc This was the relaunch of Dynamite Boogaloo at the Arc. We moved on from Audio where a combination of smoking ban, credit crunch and change in licensing laws meant our attendances took an absolute hammering. We struggled on for about a year at the Arc and then gave up. I was ready for a change anyway - so didn’t mind too much. The photo of Dolly Rocket was taken by by Russ Bell at the monthly Dynamite Boogaloo Saturday Seaside Special at Komedia.
• Boogaloo's single Rocksteady - The Sun, Wed, Sept 14, 2005 - “Biz” box
  
  “Biz” box on The Sun - 14th September 2005. The feature was acheived by my so-called “press agent”. This was practically the only press he got for us (this was the re-issue of my debut single “Rocksteady” originally from 2001) and the one thing it did achieve was I got a live agent who got me a few gigs across the country to promote the album.
• Brighton & Hove bus adverts with Boogaloo Stu and Dolly Rocket (2010)
  
  Brighton & Hove bus adverts featuring Boogaloo Stu and Dolly Rocket. All photos were taken by Russ Bell - this was photographed and filmed in April 2010 and it was bloody freezing!!!
• Dynamite Boogaloo club night flyers (1995-1998)
  
  1 - Flamingo Bar flyer dates from 1996. We tried Dynamite Boogaloo in London as a monthly event, although it didn’t last long. Flamingo Bar was previously known as Bar Industria which had quite a few queer nights. Flamingo Bar gave the space quite a posh makeover and the bartender was the amazing Dick Bradsell who was London’s top “mixologist” (he invented the Espresso Martini among other cocktails). 2 - Dynamite Boogaloo cartoon flyer. Dynamite Sal’s boyfriend Sean Longcroft drew these cartoons. It features me, Sal, Dolly Rocket and DJ Wanker (Richard Smith). I would date this to 1998. 3 - The Double Six Club this was at Jongleurs in Leicester where I was drafted in to DJ. I think this would be 1998 too. 4 - Dynamite Boogaloo photo flyer - the photo was taken by Amanda (surname missing). I think the flyer would date from 1995 when we went to the Joint. It features me, Dolly and Sal (l-r). 5 - Late Nights In Shoreditch this is from 1997, I was drafted in to DJ and do cabaret shows at weekends at 333. The venue was previously the London Apprentic (notorious sleazy gay hangout) and was (and still is) owned by the formidable Vicky Pengelly. This was literally when Shoreditch was starting to attract artists etc and was still really rundown…but it was getting that cool edge. The club itself was literally falling down, bits of masonry falling off the ceiling etc. 333 and The Bricklayers Arms (also owned by Vicky) were at the epicentre of all the action; I lived just around the corner for a few years so was involved a little bit but not by any means a big part of it.
• F*@K Magazine - Dynamite Boogaloo @ Audio Brighton (2006)
  
  F*@K Magazine - Dynamite Boogaloo @ Audio Brighton Photos of Dynamite Boogaloo at Audio (now Patterns on Marine Parade) would be from 2006 I would say. Taken by Charlie Langridge.
• Gay Times - December 2001 - Interview
  
  Gay Times Dec 2001 Interview with Boogaloo Stu. The interviewer would have been Richard Smith who was the editor of Gay Times at that time, he lived in Brighton and was a friend of Boogaloo Stu (Stuart Alexander). Indeed he DJ-ed (as DJ Wanker) at Dynamite Boogaloo for quite a few years. Sadly he died in 2018. The photo was taken at Shinky Shonky in the basement of the Polar Bear pub (now Ku Bar) on Lisle Street. Looking at the costume Stu reckons the photo dates from that same year (2001).
• Impact Magazine Cover (1997)
  
  Impact Magazine Cover - Jan 1997 Cover from January ’97 but the photo was taken in 1994. The photographer’s name was Amanda (surname not available). It was taken in her studio (part of her house) in Greenwich. Stu is wearing a knitted twinset of knickers and waistcoat which he made himself.
• Impact Magazine Listings (1995 - 1996)
  
  This looks like an Impact Magazine listings. No idea what year it would be, but it’s around 1995 or 1996 I reckon as we were at the Joint from 1995 onwards and the description of wedding dresses worn with cardigans suggest we were all dressing like Debut-era Bjork.
• Photo of Boogaloo Stu, with his parents, Dolly Rocket and Gwendoline Christie (2003 - 2004)
  
  Original photogrpah of Boogaloo Stu (Stuart Alexander), his parents, Dolly Rocket and Gwendoline Christie This was taken in Stu's flat on Donald Hall Road in Brighton, by Monica Curtin in 2003 or 2004. We did lots of photos in the other rooms, while my Mum and Dad sat having a cuppa in the lounge. Then Monica said that a group photo just had to happen…! Gwen was a really good friend of mine for many years but we’ve lost touch now.
• Photos of Siren Loading Van
  
  This shows Siren loading up the van after a performance of ‘Mama’s Gone a-Hunting’, still wearing their costumes. Often, after a performance, the get-out had to be very fast, with no time to change. This was an outdoors, daytime performance.
