Fag Machine

Emerald Carnation presents: Fag Machine at Subline, 129 St James St, Brighton.

This event is no longer running.

R. I. P. Sam Culpeck.

Fag Machine formerly at the Queens Arms has now moved to subline weekly on a Wednesday!


Subline ordinarily a male members only club opens it's doors on a Wednesday night only to everyone from girls to boys, intersex and gender queer!


Fag Machine presents a night of alternative, queercore, electro, rock ‘n’ roll, faggoth and queerlesque live performances.


The Fag Machine night is the brainchild of Dr Sam Culpeck and Oli Spleen. Sick of the bog-standard mainstream Brighton gay scene, and the lack of places that offer live LGBT acts, we decided to do something different. Our mission statement is to offer those who identify as LGBTQ something different and just for one night only we don't play Kylie, Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna. . . . etc. . . . Come join the fun and become a Faggette!

Fag Machine is striving to show the Brighton LGBTQ scene that our local LGBTQ music talent is so much more than just a list of Karaoke Singers! Fag Machine provides a valuable platform for unsigned LGBTQIA acts /bands /artists to play in a gay venue right in the heart of the Brighton gay scene.
