Stumblin' Tonight

The Musical Roast Of One Fred "Freda" Wallace
3
When Peter Tatchell Cuts You Off

Good morning Happy Campers!

Ever heard a rumor so juicy you just had to turn it into a song? That’s exactly what I’ve done with “Stumblin’ Tonight”, a slick, 85 BPM pop banger that takes a cheeky swing at Fred Wallace, Manchester’s own electro-artist and trans advocate. Picture Dua Lipa’s groove with a side of roast-level sass—this track is here to poke fun, stir the pot, and maybe make you chuckle over your morning coffee.

So, who’s Fred Wallace, and why’s he getting the musical treatment? Fred’s a multi-disciplinary artist known for “wonky electro” tracks like Eat The Mushroom Meet The Witch and gritty installations left to rot on Manchester’s factory walls. He’s also a vocal trans advocate, co-hosting the Gender Nebulous podcast and stirring up X with bold takes. But the inspiration for this roast comes from a spicy, unverified X post claiming Fred was, let’s say, overly festive at an Institute of Economic Affairs event, allegedly wobbling through the night with a pint in hand. True? Unconfirmed. Fun to riff on? Absolutely.

I didn’t spare his podcast either, calling Gender Nebulous a “dull, chatty haze” for extra shade (sorry not sorry, Fred, it’s not exactly chart-topping).

This isn’t about dragging Fred—it’s a playful jab at his larger-than-life persona. The song’s speculative, leaning on rumors for laughs, not facts, so take it with a grain of salt (or a shot of gin).

What do you think? Should we roast another figure next, or crank up the shade on Fred? Drop your thoughts below, and let’s keep the snark flowing.

Yours In Musical Mischief,

William A Ferguson, Oldest Musician In Captivity.
