Nigel's guest today is David Hoyle. David is a hugely talented performance artist, cabaret star, singer, actor, comedian and film director who has been performing onstage and entertaining adoring audiences for decades. In short he is something of a legend. Back in the early 90s he was The Divine David – an ‘anti drag queen’ – that saw his star shine bright and gain exposure in the mainstream. But David withdrew from the spotlight and lived recluse-like for a while. It was something he needed to do for his mental health and for his own safety. He is unique in all he does and always strives to both entertain and educate with his artistry.

Nigel's guest today is Anthony Kavanagh, better known as pop star Kavana. Kavana was one of the most fresh faced, wholesome teen pop stars in the late 90s with songs like I Can Make You Feel Good and MFEO hitting the top 10 and making him hugely successful worldwide and the 'butter-wouldn’t-melt' cover star of every pop magazine out there. But Anthony knew he was gay, a fact he hid from virtually everyone because of shame. He also became addicted to alcohol and drugs in order to function. It was an addiction that would take everything he had once wished for away from him. His brilliant book, Pop Scars, is a memoir about fame, addiction and the dark side of 90s pop.
