About this listen

Welcome to 'A Gay Old Time' with Nigel May.


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, I'll speak to a person from the LGBTQ+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And I'll guarantee, a Gay Old Time!

    Nigel's guest today is Nikk Mager. Nikk is a singer and songwriter who is known to many these days as one quarter of The Fizz, the Eurovision-winning band formerly known as Bucks Fizz.

  • Charlie Martin "If I could have flicked a switch and woken up the next day a different gender..."
    Nov 26 2025

    Nigel's guest today is Charlie Martin. Charlie is a British professional racing driver and transgender rights activist. She is a trailblazer in the world of motorsport. She uses her platform to educate about inclusion in sport and raise awareness about trans issues. Her own personal journey has been a difficult one and even though she knew she was trans at an early age it wasn’t until she reached the age of thirty that she was finally able to follow her dreams and transition. Her dream now is to make LGBTQ+ history as the first transgender driver to compete in (and win) the iconic Le Mans race.
