Description: The video has consistent static and occasionally is interrupted with static. The Gay Times Festival was the first gay festival held in London. It was organised by the men of Gay Sweatshop who were influenced by the success of the Women’s Festival. Action Space at The Drill Hall invited them to create their own event. They managed to put the whole festival together in just two weeks. The festival ran for three weeks, with each week focused on a different theme that matched the three parts of the play As Time Goes By, written by Drew Griffiths and Noël Greig. Every week, the group rehearsed and performed a new cabaret show, and daytime workshops were led by Philip Timmins.
