Jake Shears
Jake Shears’ new album, Last Man Dancing was recorded between the US, Portugal and London - where he relocated from his New Orleans home during the pandemic. The project includes the sort of head-turning party guestlist that, in Shears’ universe, make total sense: Kylie Minogue, Big Freedia and Amber Martin all feature, with a cameo from Jane Fonda and some words of wisdom from Iggy Pop.
Last Man Dancing is full of incandescent nods to fellow dance music pioneers – a Sylvester falsetto here, a Patrick Cowley cowbell there, and a Berghain pulse – all modernised, personalised and right at home in 2023. Hedonistic, poignant, and surreal, Jake Shears has now turned a lifelong love-affair with club culture into his most ambitious material to date.

I'm counting down the days 'til I perform at the Gay Village Party! 🫶🌈
Manchester Pride is absolutely killing it this year by giving the spotlight to our community's most marginalized groups. 96% of the lineup is packed with queer artists, over half of the performers are people of color, and more than 42% of them are our trans and non-binary fam. Plus, women are bringing the fire with a solid 54% representation on the line up. Let's give it up for Manchester Pride, y'all!

Welcome to Jake's Wormhole, my new book club!
We're going to be diving deep into the literary universe and exploring all kinds of mind-bending, heart-rending, and thought-provoking books. And we're doing it all on Wormhole Wednesdays, once a month.
The first book 'The Candy House' is by one of my favorite writers ever— Jennifer Egan.
Her novels are magic tricks and a lot of fun to unpack. I’m super excited to read this one!!
Now, here's the deal! You've got a whole month to read the book, and so have I...and next month we're going to have a big old discussion about it right here on YouTube Community!
Happy reading! x
