Gareth sits down with multi-skilled performer, Lucy Littlemore for this wide-ranging chat. Gareth and Lucy talk regularly and have stayed in touch throughout 'lockdown' but here, they cover A LOT of ground, from discussing the key tenets of the 'performance' mindset, to the increased accessibility of the arts due to Covid-19 the different spheres of the Burlesque and Drag performance worlds and much, much more. Lucy offers some valid positive points on the impact of the pandemic, whilst discussing the stress and heartbreak that creative people, especially those who thrive on performance, have experienced this year. This is genuinely one of the most wide-ranging, thought provoking episodes so far, and not to be missed!

Gareth and Lucy first worked together in 2018, with her outfit 'The Darling Creatures Collective' providing backing vocals for Gareth's version of the Earth, Wind & Fire number 'September', on his debut solo album in 2018, which you can hear on Spotify etc. (and it features in this episode).
