Pussy Whipped

This September, Pussy Whipped presents a 2-day queer-feminist festival for Edinburgh!

We expect to sell out and have a 150 capacity, so please buy now to avoid disappointment, cheers dears!
A full weekend ticket is a measly £7!



The facebook event is HERE.
Tickets for the weekend are on sale HERE.

Over two nights we will present 10 kick ass punk rock, alternative or electro bands, as usual all queer/LGBT or female dominated/fronted. There will also be a day of free workshops, queer films and stalls from LGBT/queer and feminist organisations/activists etc.

Saturday film event, 3pm - 6pm : Dressing for Pleasure and other queer shorts (co-ordinated by Leith Late)
Films will include local queer shorts, such as James Dean by Lucy Holmes-Elliot and On Your Back Woman! by Maja Borg, as well as vintage queer-interest films that include the seminal 70s docu-short Dressing For Pleasure by John Samson, which explores the fetish scene in 1977 typified by Malcolm McLaren's punk boutique Sex. Some of the short filmmakers will be present for a Q&A after the screening.

Friday night at Wee Red Bar has full wheelchair access. We're afraid that Saturday night at Fiddlers Elbow is not accessible and the day time event at Tollcross Community Centre has access issues with the toilets (the rest of the building is fully accessible). We hate to exclude anyone from our events and would like to stress that we have investigated every option financially possible on our tiny budget.

Spread the word lovelies!
