My debut article for the The Guardian. With the re-emergence of house music, I look at its influence on the dance floor, its roots and its wide cultural significance in socio-historical dance participation as a form of protest against oppressive systems. theguardian.com/stage/2022/aug…

Thank you Shay for your article in The Times and The Sunday Times - Maree Todd and Nicola Sturgeon have both expressed strong support for Buffer Zones - I would beg them to introduce these urgently to keep our patients, sisters and daughters safe. thetimes.co.uk/article/doctor… Back Off Scotland
