#StayHomo was a 12 hour live stream featuring all the HomoElectric Residents plus extra special guests, Róisín Murphy, The Black Madonna, Erol Alkan, Jim, Horse Meat Disco, Krystal Klear & Jaye Ward.
My set was at 3PM just after a wonderful Cheddar Gorgeous introduction. I was amazed to see some of my closest friends pop up at the side while I was playing. The zoom room gave me such a huge boost and turned this into one of my favourite sets i’ve ever played. The energy was right up there with what I would feel when playing in a club (hard to achieve in such a strange environment)
I hope we raised a load of money but also lifted the spirits of many.
Here is my set on Youtube - relive the fun & donate if you feel you can
Big love

Words from Team HomoElectric:
“ We are honoured to present such an incredible line up for United we Stream. We approached all our queer family and Homoelectric heros and the response was overwhelming. It makes us very happy that our community is uniting to help people. We need light and love and yes money to support those in desperate need.
Our mental health is fragile and we thought we need to dance again. We also saw the huge amounts of money raised by United we Stream GM (more than a quarter of a million pounds) to help support our night time economy and Manchester homeless in this desperate hour.
We are also adding the wonderful The Albert Kennedy Trust to help our LGBTQ community. Things are tough and we need to help each other and give something back.”
