Killer Queen returns to the Tin for one night only!

Ruth has been previously spotted spinning the decks at q***r clubs, protest after-parties, and activist conferences across the country, including Reclaim the Night, Women's Aid, Q***r Fest Leeds, Birmingham pride, and Nine Worlds Geekfest. In Coventry she founded and performed at the Killer Queen q***r rock club from 2009-2013, and was part of the Revolt! collective which ran riot grrrl nights at the Tin from 2012-2017. These days, Ruth can usually be found found shouting in the rock trio Dispute Settlement Mechanism, playing bass in the noise pop band wormboys, and/or pretending to be a professional scholar in the field of transgender studies.
