Crawley mates something glamorous to do. My Mum passed away a year or so later but The Posh Club lives on in her honour.
When and why did you start the Posh Club? Me and my sister Annie started in about 5 years ago for my Mum who was 84 and had moved from Hackney in London to Crawley, where there was a lack of social activities for older people. We wanted to give her and her new
It turned from a one-off event for your mother to an expansion of five clubs, why do you think such an event worked so well in different places? Each new Posh Club takes on the identity of the local community that it is set in as it is a collaboration between us, Duckie and the local people who come. For instance, in Hackney,
it’s a very urban mix of old Hackney - Caribbean, African, Asian - and in Brighton we are hoping it will be quite LGBT. How does the Posh Club differentiate or resemble your creations at Duckie? The Posh Club is much more respectable than Duckie. Duckie is wilder and the people who come are not as fancily dressed. How do you choose the performers for each week? I have a very full little
black book with the names and numbers of hundreds of performers from burlesque artistes to ballerinas to opera singers to hula hoopers to drag queens. What are your future plans for the Posh Club? We want to roll it out over the country and have a Posh Club in every town, funded by the NHS. What is your main message to the people attending? Keep Glamorous!
