Prince Gorge

“Dream-like, nightmarish, fantastic and revolutionary… Deliciously seditious”

– Circles and Stalls

HRH George of Cambridge is a holy-blooded Prince and a Queer icon.

Prince Gorge is a live band and a narrative poem which sees small royal boy Prince George of Cambridge grow up to become a Queer cult leader.

There will be flowers, there will be devotion, there will be literal ounces of blood.

Come weep, come laugh, come bring down the monarchy.
