I ADORED his desert island discs on bbc radio4 – however found his recent BBC4 to be entirely lacking in charm – I thought him to be an awful singer, a complete starf***** and even more surprisingly found myself feeling sorry for the man afterward. It appeared that the prime reason his last boyfriend left him was because he was so wrapped up in the party life and its self importance, that there was no room left for him. So to see that ex holding court at Nicky’s evening of song, was all too much…

I was once at a function he attended, and watched him quietly throughout the evening and he was full of sneers, bitchy comments and sulked profoundly when anyone ignored him. Just not what I’d expected given his persona. I thought he was charming to a tee.

I shall however look over someone’s shoulder if they are reading his auto-biography as if it’s anything like his desert island discs it will still hold an interest for me.

It’s a surprisingly well-written and thoroughly enjoyable book. He’s more interesting & compelling than you would think. The accounts affairs with men who ultimately marry women are credible – for men of that class – and aren’t salacious.

I so completely love Nicky Haslam, and this is a wonderful tribute of a post. The BBC programme was terrific and should be available on iPlayer now. X
