Lorna Clarkson & Annabelle Gaspar’s Treasured Records
What happens when two Sydney icons go back-to-back all night long? We’re about to find out this Friday night, when Lorna Clarkson and Annabelle Gaspar grace the wheels of steel for Cubby Bears Clubby House – the unofficial after party of World Pride 2023.
Regarded for their refined and eclectic palettes, Clarkson and Gaspar know how to smash a dance floor with great tuneage. In the spirit of Cubby Bears Clubby House inviting DJs to spin their favourite records, we asked the duo to share five treasured tunes. Strap in.
