Meet Bird Club
Bird Club has changed over over years will continue to do so. Bird is a conduit for artists, designers, performers and friends who want to be creative and work together creating avant garde entertainment.
This page is a shout out to some of those people.
Fionn Lorne
Fionn managed the unmanageable and worked with me as producer extraordinaire. Putting the nights together on a low budget was was hard work. Fionn managed the budget, the team and performers and helped me realise my crazy dreams. Fionn and me are like chalk and cheese, Fionn is sensible and well organised - I'm a hot mess. It really worked.
Fionn is focussing on his degree and being on YouTube talking about politics.
Fionn didn't just manage the club. He's a skilled painter and made loads of props, the highlights being:
Spike Spondike
Multi-talented Spike has got the dance floor popping with her amazing tunes and produced some amazing props such as the iconic cardboard Pope mobile.
Alexar Lazar, Illustrator
I can't tell you how lucky I feel that I have an artist/illustrator I can go to and say "Alexar, you know that butch panda we created? Well this time the panda is gonna be on a date with a cockatoo. They're both rockers, they're scarred and tattooed and surrounded by flies. They are helplessly in lust!" Alexar has brought these characters to life plus so much more.

Aston Martin
International debonair Aston Martin, has been involved in the club both onstage and off from the beginning. Aston has often provided butch eye candy and was the prize in the special Save the Butch contest. Aston's upper crust styling makes her ideal to play a bourgeois industrialist, which she has been called on to do many times.
