Bowie released his first record in 1964, the year Darryl W. Bullock was born. “There was always Bowie. Every time you turned around, when there was nothing to listen to, there was always a new Bowie album. I hadn’t realised it until he died, but he was the soundtrack to my life,” says Bullock, music aficionado and author of David Bowie Made Me Gay: 100 Years of LGBT Music.
“As an artist, he was always playing with gender fluidity and identity. What he did so subversively, was push it a little bit further for the audience. He brought it into people’s homes,” says Bullock. He’ll be in conversation with our own iconic Tonie Walsh.
