In the past, drag in the UK was often associated with traditional theatrical performances, such as pantomimes, where men would dress as women for comedic effect. The visibility of drag was limited, and it primarily existed in niche venues or within the LGBTQ+ community. The rise of the LGBTQ+ rights movement brought more visibility to drag culture. Performers like Lily Savage gained mainstream recognition, and drag began to be seen as a legitimate art form rather than just a comedic gimmick.

DAVE LYNN The drag queen of drag queens and star of stage and screen, Dave has appeared on TV shows, including Eastenders, Coronation Street, Silent Witness, The Weakest Link, Faking It and Doctors. With extensive, film and theatre credits as well as appearances in clubs, parties and dinners across the UK, Dave Lynn never fails to dazzle crowds. Dave Lynn has been bringing his distinctive cabaret shows to audiences in Brighton and around the UK for more years than he would care to remember. If Dave wasn’t already a household name, then by the time he’d finished filming for the Channel Four hit, Faking It, he must have known he would be. The episode followed the transformation of a Navy Officer to drag cabaret performer, Britney Ferry, under Dave’s close mentorship, and the show brought Dave to the attention of millions of homes. Other featured credits include a cameo in the highly acclaimed feelgood movie, Beautiful Thing. Dave has also given Anne Robinson a run for her money on three special episodes of the BBC flagship quiz, The Weakest Link, wherein one memorable moment he dished out some sound fashion advice on Anne’s hair during his walk of shame. Dave’s stage credits, both in and out of wigs and heels, include ‘Torch Song Trilogy’, ‘Rocky Horror’ and ‘Dragula’. He’s also a perennial favourite on the panto circuit, his latest being an Ugly Sister in Cinderella at the Wimbledon Theatre opposite a stellar cast.

London photographer Jay Eff, with his unique view of the world was one of the most outstanding members of our community JAY EFF Photography by If you lived in London back in the 90s ,you would more than likely be familiar with the work of the legendary Photographer Jay Eff. His Flyers (for Clubs like Heaven/Garage/The Fruit Machine) were the stand-out flyers of the London scene. Many people over the years have told me they actually looked forward to going home after the clubs closed, just so they could get next the week's flyers. Every week his fresh new ideas would be admired throughout the club scene in London. Thanks to Jay Eff himself, Lost Gay London has been able to create this collection of Art for all to enjoy. 1/2
