"I got to know Divine quite well...he was a bit wary of me at first." - with Hazell Dean

A Gay Old Time

Wednesday, 24 April 2024 - 57 minutes

Nigel's guest today is iconic pop star Hazell Dean, who has been lighting up dance floors as the Queen Of Hi NRG since her iconic queer anthem Searchin’ (I Gotta Find A Man) became a massive smash back in 1984. Her back catalogue of other incredible tunes includes Who’s Leaving Who, Maybe We Should Call It A Day and Whatever I Do. Hazell is a gay woman and a huge Trans Ally and supporter of Trans Rights. She is Patron of Pride in Surrey and has featured on the Pride Power List as one of the most influential LGBTQ people in the UK. She recently celebrated 40 years of Searchin’ with the release of fabulous new remixes. This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every week, Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQ+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation.
