Welcome the fabulous Gabriella Labucci to Pride Festival.  The drag diva on wheels with a hot set of pipes. The hair, the costumes, the  humour, the style ….the sex appeal…. it’s all going to be there at Pride in January.

Frank Bell

My pronouns are Rock 'n' Roll. Frank Bell is an extraordinary ball of chaotic energy... with a guitar. Frank will bring you a show that defies all expectation: flying fingers and a voice like velvet and gravel. Frank may have a pretty face, but don't let that fool you. Frank's mix of old school Blues, Folk, Rockabilly and Punk will have you crying, laughing and dancing all in one show.

KJ; best-selling author of sapphic fiction.

KJ lives in Bendigo, Australia with her wife, their son, three cats and a dog. Her sapphic novels are all best-sellers. Her book, Ignis, won the 2022 Golden Crown Literary Award for romantic suspense sapphic fiction. KJ writes stories because her imagination takes the wheel. Permanently anxious and overly fond of her cats, KJ has been told that she's contagiously happy and rather funny. That last one is debatable.
