• Dynamite Boogaloo - Club Review (2007)
  
  Photos from Audio - downstairs club space (now Patterns). Pictures taken in 2007. Looks like The Source magazine. We attracted a young and beautiful student crowd at Audio. It wasn’t quite as alternative as it had been at the Joint.
• 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).

• Housewife's Choice banners and decor 1994/95
  
  The shoestring budget and DIY ethos meant the LGBTQI+ club night Housewife's Choice was a cheap date - decor created from the begged, borrowed and nicked. Painted in our flat at Wilbury Road by Queenie and Michele the bedsheets were transformed to keep the 50s Housewife ideal alive.
