David Hodge – The Boy Who Sat By the Window

Join Wrecking Ball Arts centre for an evening with David Hodge, author of The Boy Who Sat By the Window: The Story of the Queen of Soho. David will read from his memoir and be in conversation with Dave Windass.

“My story is one of laughter and hedonism, dressing up and showing off. I played Queen in a parallel universe of glamour, rhinestones and couture outfits. It’s also one of alienation and loneliness and of always being the odd one out. I lived through AIDS, Princess Diana and Thatcher but came out singing and dancing my way through Soho and the West End. I survived a murder attempt and bankruptcy. I am still here. Now I paint my feelings and not my face and once again feel as if my journey is beginning. This is my truth. Grubby at times but mine to tell. Here it is. Uncensored.” – David Hodge
