Founder and Director Andrew Prince is also founder/editor of UKBlackOut.com the premier UK web-based portal on issues for the UK Black LGBT community. He has had a long involvement with the community promoting events, advocacy, communications and was involved with the Stop Murder Music Campaign from the very beginning when he was one of the first from the black gay community, along with his partner to support Outrage at the 2004 London Pride after the brutal murder of Brian Williamson, and this is reflected in the breadth and depth of the articles, networks and news on the UKBlackOut site. In March 2007, Andrew was the recipient of the Black LGBT Community Awards for Communications. Photo: rukus! Black LGBT Archive.

Eddie (DJ Shineeye)have been involved with the black gay community for over 20 years. In the early eighties, she formed a sound sytem called Sistermatic which consisted of female DJs, as women were not given the right platform to show their skills. Sistermatic proved a great success for two decades. She is also a resident DJ at the Barnyard and equally plays on the internet radio, Playvybz. She is a director of The Barnyard Collective, a black lesbian/gay led community organisation that aims to provide a creative & social network for our integrated communities & our supporters.
