Charles | Abbey Road Equalise for Pride in association with Gay Times

1st November 2023

We’re back with the Abbey Road Equalise for Pride series in association with Gay Times, featuring intimate interviews and exclusive Abbey Road performances celebrating queer artistic expression.

This fourth instalment sees Charles and Brother Zulu join forces to perform their new single, Boyfriend.

The live version was recorded in Studio Two with engineer Gordon Davidson, assistant engineer Ed Farrell and studio runner Mack Kniese before being mastered by Alex Wharton.

Abbey Road’s Alari Koel says: “It was brilliant to include Charles in our Abbey Road Equalise season of live films for Pride - his performance was truly electrifying! By bringing a contemporary take on genre-blending ‘60s soul music to Studio Two, he not only celebrated the history of the space but also added his own modern twist.”
