Aine Duffy Chair of Board

Aine is part of a lesser spotted, olde worldy tribe called 'Lesbians' as oppossed to the modern young people who Diva magazine now call 'LGBTQI women and non binary people'.  She is also Irish, but she's like Posh Irish, do you know what I mean?  Dicky and Simon are her bitches

E-J is Duckie's heritage researcher and archivist focussing on queer British history.

Ben Walters Brainbox

Ben Walters is brainy and wears glasses.  He completed his PhD with Queen Mary University on Duckie in the Community (2014 - 2019). He's a boffin, a scribe and a curator ... and don't you think he looks a bit like Dicky?

Annie Bowden Manager & Co-Founder, The Posh Club

Annie is the powerhouse behind The Posh Club, and runs the original Crawley club like a military operation.  She's the compére, the cook, the confidante, the community culture-maker and the kingpin.

George Chakravarthi Associate Artist & Board

From New Delhi to Woolwich, George has been making beautiful work for 20 odd years.  Let's face it - she's fucking gorgeous.

Lucille Power

Lucille Power Associate Artist

Some people say that Lucille Power is a little bit common. She likes birds, plates of sandwiches, fake penises and drag.  She has made tons of group works for Duckie going back donkeys and no-one else is allowed to have her.

Miss High Leg Kick Associate Artist

She has the longest legs in the business.

Mark Whitelaw Theatre Director

Mark has devised and directed almost all of Duckie's big theatrical shows - C'est Duckie, The Class Club, Copyright Christmas, et al.

Tim Brunsden Video Activist

A film maker and a community video activist, Tim makes all of the Duckie documentaries that hardly anyone watches on youtube, but mostly he is a musketeer of The Slaughterhouse Club.

Chardine Taylor-Stone

Chardine Taylor-Stone Consultant, QTIPOC Collective

When she's not touring the world beating the drums with her hugely successful Black punk outfit Big Joanie, this socialist firebrand is training to be a lawyer.  She doesn't actually do any work with Duckie, but she is cool so we have put her on here in order to feed off her credibility

Coco Deville

Coco Deville Hostess, The Posh Club Brighton

Packing a punch, glamming it up and serving it to the older folks of Brighton as Hostess of The Posh Club, as well managing as her prolific burlesque career

Holly Revell Photographer

Holly used to be the house photographer for Duckie, but I don't know what happened to her to be honest.  Her epoch defining archive of early 21st Century London queer performance is now housed in the Bishopsgate Institute.  And here she is pictured with Mouse.

Zed Gregory Graphic Designer

Zed Gregory is responsible for all of the Duckie brand - graphics, online and in print - they sure wield a mean felt tip.  They also have a massive motorbike, so watch out girls.

He does impressions of Ida Barr, Tina C, Edward Heath and Frank Spencer.

David Hoyle Ex-Associate Artist

We still miss him *sniffs, wipes tear*

H Plewis Choreographer PC*DC

H and some of her dollies have been in a lot of Duckie shows over the years, but since becoming a Mum she just runs PC*DC (Posh Club Dance Club), Duckie's participative dance programme for older folks in Hackney, soon to be in it's seventh (count 'em) groundbreaking season.

Marty Langthorne Lighting Designer

Sue Hewlett was a child star appearing on both The Paul Daniel's Magic show and Going Live (in the audience). 

Tim Spooner Associate Artist

Everyone loves Tim Spooner.  He sometimes makes things for Duckie - sets, installations, mental shows.

Frances Cloth

Frances Cloth Ex Doorwhore 1996 - 2018

Frances Cloth's quiff says it all: this bird means business. By the light of day you will find her in St Leonards on Sea doing shady deals shifting vintage gear, and on her night's off curled up on the sofa learning the ukelele.  After door-whoring for Duckie for over 2 decades, she retired in 2018, leaving the other Cloths to fend for themselves.

Father Cloth

Father Cloth Ex-Doorwhore 1995 - 2021

With Duckie since day one, Father Cloth was the debonair doorwhore, who donned the suits and manned the doors for the past 25 years with his partner in crime Jay Cloth.  Then he buggered off to a life of riley, but he still DJs his weird noise at Gay Shame.  Everyone fancies the Father, especialy lesbians

Jay Cloth Ex-Doorwhore 1995 - 2021

Part of the original gang of 6, this elusive masked-mensch worked for 25 years stamping hands every week. But then he got fed up with it.  In his proper life, he likes to stick things to paper in galleries and call it art.

Emmy Minton Ex-Staffer

Emmy used to be the Fundraising & Development Wallah, raising all the dosh for Duckie, but she left so we are skint now.
