Show Notes

Musician turned priest, and now author and broadcaster, the Reverend Richard Coles, joins Gabby to talk about his fabulous and varied journey to the midpoint! Richard speaks about his early years in London as a self-described gay runaway, and working with Jimmy Sommerville; how he went from 80’s pop to the pulpit; and dealing with the death of his husband in midlife before finding love again. 


Richard is really enjoying his sixties, and speaks about his return to piano lessons and the importance of learning new things at any age. They also touch on topics both big and small, including assisted dying, Gaelic football, and Richard’s time on Strictly and in The Jungle! 


Richard’s latest podcast The Apple & The Tree unpacks the complex bonds between parents and their grown-up children, and you can listen to it now on all podcast platforms.
