On the Pride weekend I said, in the park and at Legends, that Brighton owes a huge debt to Tony Chapman. His presence on the LGBT+ scene, over the last thirty plus years, has helped shape it into it’s current form through his businesses and more importantly, his understanding of why supporting the community is so necessary to help it survive.
To celebrate his 60th birthday last month, friends and fellow performers joined entertainer Dave Lynn for a VIP flight on the British Airways i360. Friends old and new answered the call from Tamzin Plank to toast the trooper with a glass or two of bubbly and enjoy a slice of birthday cake.

The list of accolades Brighton Pride has been acquiring grew last week when it scooped the coveted Best Pride or Festival Award at the Boyz Awards at the Two Brewers in London. Stephen Richards aka Lola Lasagne, host of the Legends Cabaret Tent at Brighton Pride, was on hand to collect the award on behalf of the Directors of Brighton Pride.
After 25 years as Lola Lasagne, Stephen Richards talks to Craig Hanlon-Smith about his life as the Brighton Belle.
