From 90s Pop Stars, to the George Clooney of hotel hospitality, to Perfect Interiors

On this episode we bring you live conversations recorded at our BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café in London, in front of an audience at our weekly BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! MEETS - featuring artists, designers, pop icons and tastemakers who are shaping queer culture right now.

First up, Michael Bonsor, dubbed “the George Clooney of hotel hospitality,” reveals what it takes to create the most talked-about new hotel in London. As Managing Director of The Chancery Rosewood, the ultra-luxury transformation of the former US Embassy on Grosvenor Square, he shares insights from inside one of the city’s most ambitious design projects.

Then, Adam Nathaniel Furman, award-winning artist, designer, writer and academic behind Queer Spaces. His book published by RIBA and named Architectural Book of the Year, celebrates the radical, joyful, and deeply human architecture that defines queer life.

Next, former 90s pop star Anthony Kavanagh, known to millions as Kavana, opens up about fame, addiction, loss and recovery. His memoir Pop Scars has been praised for its honesty and dark humour and in this conversation, he reflects on what it really takes to rebuild a life after the spotlight fades.

Finally, we hear from Jordan Cluroe & Russell Whitehead, the creative duo behind 2LG Studio and familiar faces from TV's The Great Interior Design Challenge and Changing Rooms. They discuss their book Making Living Lovely, exploring how design can be bold, emotional and unapologetically queer. Brought to you by BOYS! BOYS!
