In 2003, Troi Lee was queueing for a club with a group of friends when he noticed that others were being let in ahead of them. He approached security to ask what was going on, and was told: “You lot are deaf, you aren’t coming in.”
Lee had never before experienced discrimination, despite having been a regular raver for a decade. He channelled his anger into setting up the UK’s first deaf rave, to “avoid all that nonsense”.
