F*@K Magazine - Pride Supplement - This magazine was run by Tommy from Popstarz / Ghetto / Trash Palace (who also sadly died, at the end of 2020). It was a free magazine to kind of support the alternative gay scene in London and beyond. It was monthly and given away free in bars, clubs and cafes etc alongside Boyz / QX. This features is from their Brighton Pride issue - I’d say this would be 2006 but not 100% sure.
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 - 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.
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.
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.
Pop Ahoy! article
