Duckie Presents...
PANIC ON THE STREETS
OF LONDON
The Un-Official Steven Patrick Morrissey Fan Club Convention

Friday 10 June
9pm - 3am
The Coronet
Right next to Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre & Tube,
New Kent Road, SE1

Hostessed by Miss Amy Lamé, America’s answer to Diana Dors
with ‘hanging’ DJ’s London Readers Wifes.

Take me out tonight: where there’s music and there’s people and they’re young and alive...

In the shadow of the pink apocalypse that is the Elephant & Castle shopping centre, in a former picture palace turned nightclub, Duckie present the ultimate homo-homage to English pop’s greatest nostalgic,
  Steven Patrick Morrissey.

For Mancunian Miserablists, Latino Literates,
Ravishing Ruffians, Pretentious Pooftahs,
Big Girls and anyone who ever wished they were a
character in a Shelagh Delaney play.

Featuring talkaoke, puppetry, poetry, karaoke, contemporary dance, intro version, visceral video vox-poncery, quiff-coirferring, hearing aids, gladioli nostalgia,and some brilliant pop song performances.

Post drag New York punkster Justin Bond (from Kiki & Herb) collaborates with the Readers Wifes Band; The Puppini Sisters take 1940’s Andrews Sisters stylee harmonies to Smiths classics; Talkaoke provides a forum for you to discuss the essential Moz issues; Tina C. revisits Suffer Little Children as a country music classic; Nathan Evans presents a Smiths puppet show as soap opera; a team of hairdressers, stylists and photographers are on hand to cast and capture you in the classic Morrissey poses...and other such nonsense.

This event is part one of The Readers Wifes Holy Trinity - Duckie’s triptych of salutations to their fave-rave English pop cultural icons –
David Bowie, Kate Bush & Morrissey
  this summer at The Coronet.

DUCKIE: POP, PERFORMANCE, PARTICIPATION & PRETENSION.

Advance tickets £15 in person from The Retro Bar,
2 George Court, off The Strand, WC2.
Limited tickets available on the door. Advance purchase advised.

Couldn't a picked a worse venue. £15 I'm sure it will be sold out! You never know, some people may spill in who get refused from the MoS.

    Is this a gay club?

    Seems a very strange line up for a Morrissey night. I'm sure it will give Morrissey a laugh (or cry). The man who always has denied it being any body's business that he discusses his sexuality is now having tribute nights about him by gay puppets and men called Amy Lame.

    What will come next?

    Why oh why can't we all be in the Isle of Wight!

      Why are gay people obsessed with being gay. Duckie is no better than the rest of the gay scene.

      To the twits above who are concerned whether this is all a bit 'gay' - does it matter? Words like gay/straight are so twentieth century. Get a life!

            The Duckie crowd include the best djs in London. The people behind this were the same people who did the ICA thing at the beginning of the 1990s, which culminated in everybody marching to Buckingham Palace singing "The Queen Is Dead".

            It will be an epic evening.

              Duckie has consistently been the best alternative London gay club over the last 12 years or so . Morrissey himself has even visted the place on a few occasions in the early days, on its regular night at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. I know. I was there.

              Now you know what the title "Vauxhall and I" alludes to?

              ...that you can't beat just a regular Smiths/Morrissey night wherein people get together, there is a bar, The Smiths/Morrissey songs are being played AND THATS IT!

              This 'Duckie' (awful name for a club) thing sounds dreadful.

              And £15! Rip-off.

              When is the next Quarrynight?

                and not in a good way.

                These idiots are hysterical. If you wanna see desperados who think they are the new Factory-set, go to this night. If you wanna see extras from the new Land Of The Dead film, go along and watch the Readers Wives.

                Poor London. Filthy, crumbling and on the verge of collapse. And now this! I'm sorry.

                Stay at home and read the Joe Orton diaries instead.

                    I don't think Morrissey would be too impressed with the "Steven Patrick Morrissey" references. You know he hates being called that.

                    Thank you for that, you've just made me laugh so much I nearly choked on my packet of crisps! As someone who attended the symposium in Manchester, I think you are better to worship from AFAR and ALONE.Safety in numbers does not work in these events and you end up surrounded by despondent sad individuals trying to appear windswept and interesting. I may have felt that way when I was 13, but not at 33!
