Invisible Rainbows
A return to the fabulous Wilton's Music Hall in East London for Invisible Rainbows, with special guest the cabaret legend Barb Jungr.
How did queer artists express their innermost feelings at a time when just a rumour that an artist was queer was enough to destroy their careers or even lead to a visit from the police? The hit song “Have I the Right to Hold You?” sold a million copies worldwide in 1964 but do the lyrics reveal deeper meanings when we know that the writers, Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley, were both gay men? Did Bowie really release a song as early as 1966 about a trans man joining the army? Did Rod Stewart’s song about a murdered gay friend really stay in the UK charts for ten weeks in 1976? And how did queer artists respond to the AIDS crisis?
