Bend&Shake - Our 3rd Birthday
Sat 23 Nov 2024 7:00 PM - 1:00 AM
The Old Coal Yard, NE6 1JS
Description
Bend&Shake is a multi-genre queer party run by women and non-binary people of the Global Majority. EVERYONE is welcome, but this event aims to provide a safer space for women, non-binary people, trans people, asylum seekers and QIPOC.
Can you believe that Bend started three years ago? We can't! Join us in celebrating our third birthday with our usual crack of a DJ every hour. We have programmed some of our dearest and longest-running DJ friends, who have supported us through thick and thin in many aspects and championed our party in many ways, for which we are so grateful.
We will also have sweet treats and our usual varied party music. Whilst we don't have a dress code or theme, feel free to pull out all the stops and wear your best birthday party garms. This party may have more of a nostalgic vibe (DJ music choice-dependent), so get ready to dance all night.
With the absence of what we felt is the inclusive pride party in the North East (authentically organised and hosted by marginalised communities with intersectionality), we're continuing to host Bend&Shake parties. We hope it still offers you an alternative to the Newcastle scene, which we feel misses out on representing marginalised communities. As usual, we will provide music that doesn't just stick to the idea of what "queer culture" is. Music will range from Techno, House, Pop, Soul, Garage, R & B, Drum & Bass, Electro, Dance, Hip Hop and more. Each DJ brings their own music selection style for a true multi-genre event. Expect an eclectic party.
