Forty years on, Bronski Beat’s defiant debut album, The Age of Consent, is reimagined by queer and trans artists of today at a one-off concert. And just like the original, The Pink Singers will be there to provide backing singers.
Tonight’s show features a powerhouse line-up including Lulu Manning, Planningtorock, Tom Rasmussen plus more to be announced, alongside a specially curated queer house band, performing bold new arrangements of the record.
An unashamed portrait of radical queerness in 1980s Britain, The Age of Consent was a pivotal moment in LGBTQIA+ cultural history.
Jimmy Somerville, Steve Bronski and Larry Steinbachek took the charts by storm with era-defining hits ‘Smalltown Boy’ and ‘Why’, and their new brand of bold, political synth-pop.Under Thatcher’s repressive Conservative government, against the backdrop of the miners’ strike and the early onset of the AIDS crisis, this music acted as a beacon of hope for a generation of disenfranchised LGBTQIA+ youth.
When recording the album, Bronski Beat needed some backing vocals and reached out to the newly-formed Pink Singers. We are thrilled to be asked to play a role in celebrating the legacy and ongoing message of this seminal album four decades later.
For one night only, The Chateau presents this piece of musical and political history from 1980s Britain, live and reimagined through the voices of ground-breaking queer and trans contemporary artists.
A musical celebration, and a collective call to action for the work still to be done in the fight for queer and trans liberation. Plus, join us for a free after-party in the Queen Elizabeth Hall Foyer following the event in the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
With current anti-trans legislation and rhetoric in the press, and the ongoing battle to ban conversion therapy, the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights continues. Against this backdrop, The Age of Consent is presented 40 years on, with its message still more relevant than ever.
Lulu Manning is an artist who embraces sound as an embodied force, rooted in her fascination for the voice as a vehicle for expression. She has opened for artists Jools Holland, Holysseus Fly and Tom Rasmussen, and has performed in jazz clubs including Ronnie Scott’s as well as queer spaces.
Tallinn-based singer-songwriter, composer, producer, DJ and director Planningtorock has spent over a decade queering sound and sharing visions. They have four critically acclaimed studio albums of queer dance to their name, and have collaborated with artists including Lady Gaga, Robyn, Christine and the Queens and Romy.
Tom Rasmussen is a London-based artist and prominent figure in the LGBTQIA+ community, known for their dark dance music that blends pop, queer club culture, and their experiences as a former drag performer. Their debut album, Body Building, was released in 2023 to critical acclaim.
