   About

Jonathan Blake was a founder member of the LGBT group that supported the miners during the strike of 1985.  The film Pride,  written by Stephen Beresford and directed by Matthew Warchus, is based on these events.  Jonathan is a survivor of the first Aids epidemic in which Andrew died.

Dr. Alan Greaves is the Chair of the LGBT group at Liverpool University.  He is senior lecturer in Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology at the University and a qualified and registered psychotherapist.

Rev. Donald Reeves, MBE, is currently Director of The Soul of Europe, an NGO that works as catalysts and mediators to ensure a peaceful resolution to conflicts, particularly in the Balkans.  He is the former Rector of St James' Piccadilly, where he championed LGBT rights within an 'inclusive church'.

Will Smith is a hugely versatile Emmy award winning writer performer with a successful career spanning stand-up, acting and writing.  He was a member of the writing team of the multi-BAFTA winning sitcom THE THICK OF IT in which Will was also cast as hapless Tory researcher Phil Smith. Will’s first novel, Mainlander, was published by 4th Estate in February 2015.

Ed Currie is a London based choreographer (I Can Never Give My Heart, Teddy Bears’ Picnic, Moments, Romeo and Juliet, What We Did For Love) and director (The Rise and Fall of the Hamburger Queen).
