LISTEN: GIHE on Soho Radio with Gay Skeleton Club (11.11.26)

Tash and Kate were back on Soho Radio this month with another packed playlist full of new music tunes from their favourite female, non-binary & LGBTQ+ artists. Mari offered some of her “musical musings” too!

They were also joined by DIY art punks Gay Skeleton Club, who met through First Timers Fest and started writing and playing music together a few years ago. Chris, CJ and Nic spoke about their beginnings as a band, the songs that formed their self-titled EP, their upcoming single ‘Shutters’ and the way that personal experience informed their protest song ‘Summertime (Free Palestine)‘.

Tash and Kate were back in the Soho Radio studio, bringing listeners their usual eclectic mix of new music tunes from some of their favourite female, non-binary and LGBTQIA+ artists. Mari offered some of her “musical musings” too!

Tash played tracks by trans artists who are much loved by GIHE to mark the upcoming Transgender Day of Remembrance (20th November) and Kate paid homage to Daphne Oram, a pioneer of electronic music. Oram’s centenary is currently being celebrated with performances across the UK on the oram/100 tour, a stunning compilation album titled vari/ations – Ode To Oram, and a special show at The Barbican on 4th December.

London-based DIY pop punk heroes Breakup Haircut also joined the team live in the studio to talk about their second album, No Worries If Not! – due on 28th November via INH Records. Ishani, Ripley and Jordan spoke about the friendship, humour and sheer determination that inspired the writing and recording process (R.I.P to the dead bird in Jordan’s shed/studio). Plus, they shared words of wisdom about how to survive as a DIY band in today’s chaotic world. Grab a ticket to Breakup Haircut’s album launch show at The Victoria in Dalston, East London, here.
