🎉🌈✨ IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY, BABES! ✨🌈🎉

Can you believe it’s been a WHOLE YEAR of G**s Up North?! 💅 From dodgy Wi-Fi to belly laughs, oversharing to Agony Aunt chaos, we’ve had one bloody fabulous year — and now it’s time to celebrate properly… the Northern way! 🥂💃

We’re throwing a massive Birthday Bash at Hollies Bar, Bawtry on Saturday 22nd November — kicking off from 5pm till late 🎂🎧 Expect music, mischief, and mayhem with plenty of laughs, shots, and northern nonsense! 💋

It’s been a wild ride — from Prides to podcast bloopers, award shows to hangovers, and all the glitter in between — and we couldn’t have done it without you lot! ❤️ Whether you’ve sent us your agony aunt letters, slid into our DMs, or just tuned in for your weekly giggle, you’ve made this podcast something truly special.

So grab your mates, slap on your best lashes, and come raise a glass (or three) with us! 🥳✨ Let’s celebrate one fabulous year of laughter, love, and being unapologetically GAY UP NORTH! 🌈💅

See you at Hollies Bar — it’s going to be camp, chaotic, and classy-ish! 😉🍸

— Jay Jay & Jason 💖🎙️

🍞 Good morning from Bruce at Breakfast! ☀️

Bruce is fancying a bit of toast this morning… but he’s stuck on what to spread on it!

Jam? Marmite? Peanut butter? Maybe just good old butter?

What’s your go-to toast topping? Let us know in the comments – help Bruce make the all-important breakfast decision! 👇

🌈 A huge THANK YOU to our local MP Lee Pitcher for joining us at Bawtry Pride! 🌟

Not only did he show up in full support and solidarity, but he also joined our fabulous conga through Bawtry — and we have to say, the man’s got serious dance moves! 💃🕺

Your presence means so much to our community, and we’re grateful for your ongoing support of inclusivity, love, and equality.

Here’s to many more Pride celebrations together! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

No babes — it’s Ross Jarvie soaring in faster than a Yorkshireman to a 2-for-1 deal, grabbing the VERY FIRST bottle of our official Bawtry Pride Beer! 💅🌈

Ross isn’t just a local legend — he’s the head of the Bawtry Retail Association, a proud business owner, and one of the biggest supporters of Bawtry Pride 2025. That smile says it all: the beer’s good, the vibes are better, and Pride is nearly here!

🌟 Proudly sponsored by Hair at Porters
🍻 Exclusively available at Hollies Bar — the home of great drinks and even better energy all Pride weekend!
