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

Peter Searle, professionally known as Peter Steadman, who as ‘Adrella’ was a huge star of the cabaret. Adrella was best known for his Liza Minnelli routine. He was also a Eurovision fanatic and even juror for the UK’s judging panel in 2008. For a while, during the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, he was one of the most adored performers on the gay scene and did so much charity work that in 1987 he was given an award by the Terrence Higgins Trust. He entered a talent competition at the Black Cap. ADRELLA aka Peter Searle Peter Searle, professionally known as ‘Adrella, was a huge star of the cabaret circuit from the mid-70s and directly inspired many of those who are part of the current drag revival. Adrella worked both solo and with partners such as Lily Savage, David Dale, Ebbonknee and Ruby Venezuela. An old-school drag act, who mostly mimed to show tunes, he was best known for his Liza Minnelli routine. He was also a Eurovision fanatic and even juror for the UK’s judging panel in 2008. For a while, during the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, he was one of the most adored performers on the gay scene and did so much charity work that in 1987 he was given an award by the Terrence Higgins Trust. Tragically his ill-health resulted in an early retirement and less recognition than he deserved. He made a comeback, delighting new audiences with his almost undiminihed star quality. The son of a policeman, Searle claimed that he was raised in a police station in the middle of Hyde Park and that he was still living there in 1975, when he entered a talent competition at the Black Cap. He popped briefly into the West End in 1982, when he appeared in La Vie en Rose at the La Vie, formerly the Windmill Theatre. But he will be remembered by most as one of the great gay scene acts, especially for his work at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. There are many recordings, notably of Adrella’s Nativity at Christmas, 1987, a show that drove the crowd wild. He also made numerous TV appearances on game shows, including Treasure Hunt, Talkabout, the Weakest Link and 15 to 1. Adrella’s last big success was ‘Camp Camp’, which he produced at Butlin’s, Skegness, in 1991. A follow-up was abandoned. Searle later wrote, “The second one collapsed after Butlin’s withdrew, due to negative press affecting their bookings [reports linked the event to the AIDS scare], and in-fighting between the two companies who produced the first event.” Adrella continued to host the RVT’s Sports Days. But subsequently Peter’s health deteriorated.

Pride in London is a vibrant and dynamic organisation Exploring History London's first Pride march took place on July 1, 1972, inspired by the Stonewall riots and organised by the Gay Liberation Front. It was a political protest advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and equality, marking a significant moment in the UK's LGBTQ+ history. Over the years, Pride in London has evolved into a major celebration, attracting over a million attendees annually, while still maintaining its core focus on advocacy and visibility for the LGBTQ+ community. Here's a more detailed look at the history: 1972: The First Pride March: The inaugural march in London, held on the nearest Saturday to the anniversary of the Stonewall riots, drew approximately 2,000 participants. Early Years: The early Pride marches were a mix of protest and celebration, reflecting the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights in a society where homosexuality was still largely marginalised. Evolution into a Celebration: As legal protections improved and societal attitudes shifted, Pride in London gradually transformed into a major festival, attracting a diverse range of participants. Ongoing Advocacy: Despite the celebratory aspect, Pride in London continues to be a platform for raising awareness about LGBTQ+ issues and advocating for further progress in areas such as equality and inclusion. Key Themes: Throughout its history, Pride in London has addressed various themes, including the fight against discrimination, the impact of the AIDS crisis, and the importance of representation and visibility. Growth and Influence: From its humble beginnings, London Pride has grown into one of the largest LGBTQ+ celebrations in Europe, influencing similar events worldwide.
