A Gay Old Time

Wednesday, 13 March 2024 - 1 hour 3 minutes

Hosted by Nigel May, whose guest today is Rod Thomas, probably better known by his pop star name Bright Light Bright Light.Rod has been releasing excellent pop music since 2012 and always shines as an example of how to continually strive forwards with their artistry and music despite the restrictions of being an independent artist.Born and raised in Wales, Rod now lives in New York which is where he feels most at home. His talent has seen him touring with Cher, with the Sister Sisters and recording songs with one of his childhood heroes, Elton John. He has recorded five studio albums and his name comes from the movie Gremlins, as if you didn’t already know….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.Every week, Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQ+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And guaranteed, a Gay Old Time!Follow us on instagram @agayoldtimepodcast Produced by Pineapple Audio Production. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
