#Abstract
In the face of the racist, sexist and homophobic mainstream clubbing worlds, Black and white lesbians created their own queer music scenes in liminal spaces in London in the 1980s and 1990s. These informal spaces of consumption provided escape from work and the family, affirmed our worlds, and developed a sense of identity and community (Buckland, 2002). This scene emerged from 1970s counterculture and was influenced by Black British sound system culture. We were schooled in protest at inequalities, had witnessed racist police violence and uprisings in the UK. Our involvement in music expressed escape and hope (Gilroy, 1993). Preceding the rave scene and corporate superclub culture, these one-off events took place beyond the view of the mainstream. Nights were often short-lived and the publicity relied on word-of-mouth and self-made flyers. Culture was created by the DJ’s and dancers, promoters and their friends (Melville, 2020; Pini, 2001).
