Recorded (using a mix of Skype and a separate lapel mic) by phone from Jimmy’s home in London. While doing the dishes (seriously) Jimmy chats upfront and personal about his more recent album “Home Again” and topics ranging from his own experience of the age of consent to his view on same sex civil unions. He was also excited about being booked to perform at shows in Sydney and Melbourne for 24 February and 2 March 2006. These spectaculars titled “Evolve” were designed especially for Jimmy by producer Colin Tate. Colin says it was a way of paying homage and giving back for the empowerment Jimmy‘s honesty and music gave to his own life. The shows included full versions of hits from Bronski Beat and The Communards, as well his solo hit singles – and also featured an acoustic set with backing from the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Choir and the Melbourne Gay & Lesbian Chorus. The Sydney show was part of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival. NB: While in Australia Jimmy joined talented local musicians in a rural Sydney studio to record the beautiful acoustic stylings of his personal all-time favourite songs, which were released in June 2009 as the download-only album “Suddenly Last Summer”.
