Episode Thirteen - 'Let The Music Play!'

This week, the Virgin Radio Pridecast is back with another episode looking at the LGBTQ+ community’s relationship with the music industry… Alex and Shivani will be hearing from legends LP and Adam Lambert on what it means to them to make music for the community, singer Conleth Kane on the reception to his song ‘Proud’, and Justin Vivian Bond and Bright Light Bright Light are back, this time talking about the influence of the one and only Sir Elton John… 

You’ll also hear from Alex and Shivani about some of their own musical icons, plus they’ll be asking the question of whether non-LGBTQ+ artists can make music which resonates with the community… Finally - you’ll hear from Virgin Radio’s very own Graham Norton speaking to Steve Denyer about seeing Holly Johnson perform at Pride in Clapham in 1997 - one of the most moving pieces of audio from Virgin Radio Pride…
