The Glory presents
‘An Audience with Princess Julia’
'The first lady of London’s fashion scene’
The Guardian
‘Princess Julia has been out every night for the past 34 years’
‘A journey through London’s counter-culture scene’
‘An Audience with Princess Julia’ is a spoken word piece, taken from her own memoirs supported by short films and montage by her friend, DJ and similarly long-standing member of the club scene Jeffrey Hinton. Never one to dwell on the past she invites the inimitable drag and club personality of today, Jacqui Potato to create a performance inspired by her life and with a special guest to join her in conversation, ‘An Audience With Princess Julia’ is an inclusive, celebratory reminiscence of London’s glorious counter-culture tradition bought right up to date by it’s most enduring and much loved star.
Princess Julia would never boast to having seen ‘it all’ but she certainly has seen a lot in her very colourful life as a central figure on London’s underground club and fashion scene. From Punk in the mid 70’s to the New Romantics, Leigh Bowery’s club Taboo in the mid 80’s, The Blitz and through the rave scene of the 90’s to the present day. She remains the constant in a sea of change. Known as much for her own inspiring, flawless looks which themselves document the fashions of the day as for her music from her career as a DJ, her support for emerging creative talents, her work as a fashion and music journalist and for the force of her sheer personality alone; Princess Julia is uniquely placed to comment on how the city’s night-life has changed both aesthetically and musically and how it influenced the city’s wider culture and beyond.
