{{ EVENT }} ILOVEMELVILLE.LIVE PRESENTS THE GRUMPY OLD HOMOS SHOW PRIDE PATSY
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Are you ready for a celebration of a lifetime, daaahlings?
Melville’s exciting new community radio station Ilovemelville.live is proud to present The Grumpy Old Homo Show Pride Patsy, with gracious support from event sponsors, to wrap up Pride Month on Thursday 29th October 2020. A party with a simultaneous Livestream broadcast with special in-studio guests including the very daaahling Robert Whitehead (aka Barker Haynes from Isidingo) and the intergalactic, shape-shifting kwaai diva, Umlilo.
While Robert Whitehead needs little introduction Umlilo is a sensational, multi-disciplinary performer, recently hailed as one of the 6 local acts to be chosen to appear at the 2020 Blooming Sounds Festival, live-streamed from the Women’s Gaol at Constitution Hill. He takes a brazen look-in at genre and gender and is an exciting talented performer to keep a lookout for.

While we pop down to the studio for our show the party continues upstairs with your host Toni Morkel along with the Latin sounds of the Avalon Quartet featuring Brian Smith (Flutes), Wian Joubert (Percussion), Ryan Solomon (Guitar) & Lex Futshane (Bass). With a few surprises up our sleeve, we end the evening with a boom-bam performance by Umlilo and his gorgeous dancers, Llewellyn Mnguni and Kyle Rossouw.
Come have a Patsy (aka Party) with us, complimentary Dora’s and munchies.
