About
Queer Songbook explores and celebrates the queer voice in songs from across the ages.
An aviary of non-heteronormative guests have been invited to choose their dearest, queerest song – the song that spoke their truth, strummed their pain or lit a defiant flame in their youth.
Stitched together into a coat of many colours by your host, Zoe Lyons, each guest tells the story of their song before singing it live with the amazing Queer Songbook Band.
Presented in collaboration with Traumfrau.
