Creative prouder and theatre-maker Adam Carver – aka Fatt Butcher – premiered their single Anywhere is a Dance Floor with a music video as part of the Birmingham International Dance Festival, produced by DanceXChange.

The video, created by Adam and Jason Guest, featured dancers from Motion Dance Co, as well as many faces from the Birmingham drag scene, including; Yshee Black, Black Peppa, Blu Romantic, Lacey Lou, Christian Gay,

Mama Mamba, and many more of the city’s finest. The video was free to watch on BIDF TV for several days and the single itself was released on Bandcamp.

Carver made a commitment that during Pride Month, 100% of profits would go to support LGBTQ+ asylum seekers in Birmingham and the wider UK. All money received during June 2021 (after Bandcamp’s fees were removed) was to be split evenly between two causes – charity Rainbow Migration and Eric Scutaro, “a friend, artist, activist, and voguer currently based in Birmingham and applying for asylum to remain in the UK permanently and is crowdfunding to cover his legal fees”.

The profits from sales were combined with collections at several of Fatt Butcher’s shows at The Nightingale, and they told us they have raised roughly £300.
