In the dark double decade following the first reported UK case in 1981, approximately 10,000 gay and bisexual men died of AIDS-related illnesses across the country, mostly in London 

And there were other challenges - systemic homophobia, misogyny and racism, drink and drugs, dangerous streets, section 28, legal discrimination. And all the pubs closed on Sunday afternoon. Apart from the Market Tavern

Where are the Survivors of these decades? Scottee brings some of them together including veteran HIV activist and handsome Brixton legend Marc Thompson and o-founder of Stonewall, The Pink Paper and long-term foot soldier for Switchboard and THT Lisa Power MBE to talk about tenacity, resistance and resilience 

Plus new performance from Neil Bartlett and melancholy raps and low-fi laptop house from Stuart McKenzie
