Two more names added to Pride in Hull line-up

Organisers of the Pride in Hull celebrations have added two more names to the line-up ahead of the event at Queen’s Gardens on Saturday 22 July.

Pop legend Marc Almond and 80s icon Sonia have already been confirmed. They will now be joined by 90s teen trio Cleopatra and X-Factor star Seann Miley Moore.

Seann Miley Moore

  • Shot to fame on the 2015 series of the X-Factor with his performances of David Bowie’s ‘Life on Mars’ and ‘California Dreaming’ by the The Mamas & The Papas.

Pride in Hull kick-starts the Hull UK City of Culture 2017 LGBT 50 programme – a series of events celebrating LGBT culture across the arts to mark the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality. To coincide with this, Pride in Hull has also been named ‘UK Pride’ by the UK Pride Organisers Network (UKPON).

Pride in Hull is a free and unticketed event taking place in Queen’s Gardens on Saturday 22 July. For more information about Pride in Hull, visit www.prideinhull.co.uk.
