Mystika Glamoor
Mystika Glamoor is the surrealist socialist socialite, the high priestess of Edinburgh drag, and the pre-Covid hostess of “GLAMOOR! THE KWEER KABARET” and “KRUNCH” at The Street bar. Sometimes campy, sometimes witchy, and always political, Mystika is now one of the owners and the creative director of the Greenwood queer cafe and art gallery, a safe sober space for all. You can find more from Mystika through Youtube and Patreon.

milo clenshaw
Milo is a non-binary transmasculine poet, writer and nature-lover who is currently studying for a Masters in Film Curation at the University of Glasgow. Through his writing he attempts to make sense of memory, relationships and the physical experience of navigating the world in a gender non-conforming body, using writing as a site for self discovery and compassion. Although his work comes from personal experience, he hopes it can be a place of recognition for trans people of all backgrounds.
anne spank

eve jeffrey
Eve Jeffrey is a half-poet, half-visual artist, half-comedian. Wait. That's too many halves. Never mind. She explores issues of transgender identity, bad technology and the struggle to get a decent night's sleep. Eve performs regularly at Inn Deep and with Queer Theory Cabaret and is always up for serious misadventure. During lockdown she has divided her time between squabbling over Zoom calls and pretending to be a ghost.
amy and saya
Amy and Saya have been working together as an acro duo since 2017. They are based in Edinburgh and have performed at a variety of cabarets, corporate events and contemporary festivals. Their latest act will explore Amy’s journey to coming out as non-binary, supported by Saya. You can find them on Facebook.
Jamie O’donnell
I’m a 22-year-old conceptual artist from Tayport in Fife, currently based in Edinburgh. My practice and poetry are extremely personal to me as it is about the voice, my experience with mental illness, my experience as a trans man– as well as growing up. I love to see others recognising themselves in my work. I believe there is something really special about how we can bring people together by the power of one voice. You can find me on Instagram, Youtube or through my website.
bonni black
My name is Bonnie. I’m a singer-songwriter based in Falkirk. I've been writing and performing songs for over 15 years and have recently graduated with a BDes in Audio. I took a break from music while studying, but in recent months I’ve felt compelled to write again.
I have mostly played in punk bands; however, my current style is a more subdued mix of folk/swing jazz/soul/goth-rock. Whatever it is, I hope it inspires other LGBTQIA people to pick an instrument. You can find me on Soundcloud, Linked In, Upwork and Fiverr.
