Audio producer Bruce Guthrie and Dr Duckie, Ben Walters, will be creating this fan made, handmade documentary for podcast and broadcast.
From nightclub for queers to the posh club for old dears, Duckie has also been at the centre of the cultural discourse because it’s been the venue for so many performers to find their voice.
Kit Green, David Hoyle, Travis Alabanza all found the warmest and most available audience here. An audience who could be corralled to give their attention in the midst of a boozy, flirty, sweaty night club.
The firm but affirming presence of hostess Amy Lame, the visions of producer Simon Casson, the direction of Dicky Eton and Robin Whitmore all held together consistently with consistently danceable, joyful music from the London Reader’s Wifes.
We go backstage with host Azara and the Ducky dollies to hear how 30 years of clubbing have changed British performance and enriched the cultural and political lives of thousands.
But we're here for the fun, the memories, the people and their bawdy search for love on a Saturday night at the Vauxhall tavern of life and now at The Eagle.
Here is the story retold by all the people who danced there, lived, laughed and grew up there. A playground and activity centre for these queers and their peers.
