CHARLIE AND SOPHIE

ARE

OUT AT THE

Charlie Condou & Sophie Ward host a family day at the London Zoo, giving gay families a support network and a lovely day out:

Gay celebrities and UK TV actors Charlie Condou (Coronation Street) and Sophie Ward (Holby City) are gearing up for some animal antics today at London Zoo, hosting a grand day out for LGBT parents and their kids. Both LGBT parents themselves, soap actors Condou and Ward will be on hand to share their own personal experiences on the highs and lows of the joys of raising children in a same-sex relationship. Condou believes events like this are important with the continuing increase of LGBT parents in the UK, as same-sex parenting can still be viewed in a negative light. ‘Some gay families can feel isolated, don’t have a good support network around them and often find it hard to meet people who are sharing similar experiences,’ he said. Even Ward agrees, ‘[raising a child] can be even more challenging for parents who happen to be gay.’ The pair will also be speaking at The Alternative Parenting Show on 21 September in London. This is a major convention for would-be gay parents, the biggest event of its kind in the UK, with exhibitions and parenting experts on hand to offer advice to potential parents.

'Coming Back'

Press play for visuals of Charlie Condou's family and friends set to a recently restored track performed by Max Merritt which has never been officially released on CD. 

'Coming Back' is ostensibly a break-up song set on a railway platform but it's more melancholy than most and very simply orchestrated. 

Max's biggest hit which preceded this track was another break-up song called 'Slipping Away.'

Coming back, coming back, that old familiar feeling

Once more I'm believing, in miracles & dreams.

Coming back, coming back,

Ah that sweet familiar love song.

That somehow now seems all wrong,

There's too much in between.

It's the melancholy mood I'm in

And the husky whispering summer wind

It's taking me back, keeps taking me back,

To where I've been, but it can never be that way again

Do do do, do do do do do do, do do do do do do do,

Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do.

It's the melancholy mood I'm in

And the husky whispering summer wind

It's taking me back, keeps taking me back,

To where I've been, but it can never be that way again

Do do do, do do do do do do,

With no need for explanation.

Just two people on a station,

You turn to go & I know,

You won't be coming back.

Do do do, do do do do do do, do do do do do do do,

Do do do do do do do.
