Show Notes
This week Emily and Ray head to Highbury Fields to meet the brilliant Anthony Kavanagh, who first found fame in the 90s as pop star Kavana, with hits like I Can Make You Feel Good and countless appearances on Top of the Pops.
Anthony opens up about the reality behind that glossy pop image, sharing his story with remarkable honesty in his new memoir Pop Scars. In it, he reflects on the pressures of overnight fame, hiding his sexuality, addiction, and the chaotic fallout of being discarded by the music industry in his twenties.
It’s a moving and darkly funny conversation with a hugely likeable guest who’s come through extraordinary challenges with warmth, wit and perspective, and who, most importantly, won Ray’s seal of approval.
