Groovy Gecko (Collection GGO)
The Groovy Gecko was a nightclub for (and run by) disabled people. It was set up in 2006 after much research on other similar clubs in the UK, and with a lot of training for the crew members. There are a further 2300 pictures in the main Living Archive – these 30 photographs are just a sample!
