There was a period in the 80s
when I was visiting hospital a great deal
and going to funerals
when people I loved very, very much
went
Oh my goodness
A is for Attitude,
a is for amazed, a is for astonished,
a is for absolutely thrilled and very grateful
No, a isn't for very grateful
Stephen come on in all that illiterate
but it's also for adolescence and adulthood
and it was during that time
way back in the 60s and 70s that I first
knew that I was not as other girls
And in those days that meant you had a
future of loneliness, seclusion
and shame and crime
and hiding away
It seemed inevitable
everything led to the conclusion that my
life would be one like that
And somehow thanks to people older than me
and some braver than me of my own age
many of them braver than me
things began to change and by the 1980s
I was able to come out to my parents and
to my friends
and to the world
and to join in
with the group of us queer people
in fighting for equality first of all
in terms of age of consent
and then a fuller equality and
amazingly it happened
It took too long,
all good change takes too long,
but it did happen
and my predecessors in winning this award
people like Peter Tatchell and Ian McKellen
deserve far more praise than I do
for bringing that about
but I would say
that the other a that I'm thinking of
and can't help but think of is Aids
We're all very Covid-aware at the moment
and I don't mean anything
I'm about to say
to underplay the terrible
problems of coronavirus
but I think it's 38 million people have died
from Aids
38 million
and 33 million as I speak
are HIV-positive
It has been a terrible struggle
to try and fight this disease
and I've been so proud to work with
the Terrence Higgins Trust
Terrence Higgins Trust is
the oldest and the biggest of the Aids
charities in Europe in fact
it was founded in love and grief when
Terrence Higgins one of the very first people
in Britain to die from that awful condition
of Aids-related illnesses
His friends got together and said that
something had to be done and over the years
it built itself into the most remarkable
organisation that is to this day still
helping people
with their lives because despite
medical advances, which have been terrific
it's still something that utterly shatters
the life of someone who's HIV-positive
and those around them
and of course the young still
need to be reminded
of the real dangers
despite you know the
the pills you can take before
and the pills you can take after
you don't want to be HIV-positive
so I remember those friends of mine
who died
there was a period in the 80s when I was
visiting hospitals a great deal and
going to funerals
and people I loved very, very much
went
so there's lots to mourn
but there's an enormous amount to celebrate
and what I would mostly want to celebrate is
the human spirit of queer people
their friendship, their togetherness,
their sense of building a future
in which who they are and how they want to be is
no more no more of a problem
than it is for others
But also I would just counsel quickly
before I close
against being too angry
by which I mean anger in the right direction
when focused properly is a
really useful tool
as people like Peter Tatchell have
found in their
ceaseless campaigning
but too much anger
against people who don't need that kind of anger
can alienate
and there's so much in our society at the moment
that is making people unhappy,
resentful, angry, bitter
and full of dislike for those not like themselves
that we of all people don't need to add to it
I'm not trying to make any
particular point
except to say people are, generally speaking,
so much better, kinder and nicer than you would believe
if you looked into social media and into newspapers
and just remember that
remember
that we are brothers and sisters
and if this planet is going to survive
it will survive because we put arms
around each other
even when we have to do it in a socially distanced way
That's enough from me
Thank you so much
Attitude magazine thank you for all you've done
for the queer community over the years
and good luck to everybody stay well
Stay well, survive and thrive
And much love
Hi, I'm Simon Callow
Hit like and subscribe to see more from Attitude
inescapable this past summer
and no I'm not talking about BoJo
He's an accomplished singer,
songwriter and producer
who's conjured up hits for the likes of
Madonna, Kylie and The Saturdays
And rumour has it he's recently been in
the studio with Carole Baskin
recording a cover of 'Eye of the Tiger'
That may
or may not be true
it's very hard to say
He scored his first Number One single
this year
'Head and Heart'
with the help of his buddy Joel Corry
A club banger more catchy than...
the flu
Though as you can imagine
I'm beside myself that the discotheques are
closed this year
Anyway without further ado please
welcome the unstoppable
MNEK
Hello everybody,
so our next winner is truly one of a kind
This Japanese-born British-based
singer-songwriter is a talent on the way
to the very top
Her debut album released earlier this year
garnered widespread critical acclaim
and accumulated a number of very
high-profile fans including
Sir Elton John
not a big deal it's fine
we won't get into it
her unique blend of pop, rock and R&B
and everything in between that
makes her an artist of her own
Little wonder that she's been described as the
future of pop and
a title that she's more than worthy of
living up to
So like the greats before her
she's also been known to use her platform to shine
a spotlight on matters close to her heart
and her community
Her sincerity and
devotion to us her chosen LGBTQ family
is absolutely inspiring and we love her
for it right back
Her vision is otherworldly, her desire to grow laser-focused
We've seen nobody more
suited and more likely to shaken up the status quo
I did win this a few years ago but again
not getting into it
It is my honour and pleasure to announce
that the winner of the 2020 Attitude Breakthrough Award
is the incomparable Rina Sayawama
Thank you Attitude Awards
and thank you so much MNEK
Being pansexual myself,
I've been saved by the LGBTQ+ community
quite literally
I was bullied quite badly
in school and also at university
And in both times it was the community
that saved my life
I have a song
called 'Chosen Family' on the latest record
and that is my honest
most loving song that I wanted to give
to the community
who are not just my friends but now who
I consider in my family
remember there is no timeline to be
authentically you
So live your best life
and I love you
Thank you, Pixels
When I'm older, they're going to be a
power couple
and I just want a couple
Applications invited, since I have the platform
Now, by the power of television I present
the Rina who is over there collecting her award
as our fourth live performer over here
This is a rather wonderful track called 'Chosen Family'
[♪♪♪]
Thank you Attitude Awards, this is 'Chosen Family'
Tell me your story and
I'm all ears, take your time, we got all night
me the rivers crossed, the mountains scaled
Show me who made you walk all the way here
settle down put your bags down
You're alright now

We don't need to share genes or a surname
You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family
So what if we don't look the same?

[applause]
Oh, can we give her another reward just for that
Quite beautiful Rina thank you very much
The Attitude Magazine Foundation for
LGBTQ causes
works year round in our community having
raised and distributed more than £250,000
since summer 2018
One of its first projects
in league with Garry and Kyle Ratcliffe
and their chosen family
made famous by Nick Knowles and the
BBC's 'DIY SOS'
was to buy a caravan on the Isle of Sheppey
Judge Rob Rinder is patron of their charity
Curly's Legacy
and he explains all
Hello, I'm Rob Rinder
Back in the summer of 2018
having seen the extraordinary story of
Garry and Kyle Ratcliffe
and their incredible family told so
beautifully by Nick Knowles on BBC's
'DIY SOS'
Attitude magazine bestowed an
Attitude Pride Award on this remarkable,
selfless, well just amazing couple
Now, a year later and the Attitude
Magazine Foundation again used its own
Attitude Pride Awards to great effect
this time to raise £10,000 for a
very special project
in partnership with Garry and Kyle's
registered charity
Curly's Legacy
And I am beyond proud to
say that I'm now a patron of that charity
so that's why I've come here
to the Isle of Sheppey
to show you some of the
amazing work they do
Mr and Mr Ratcliffe
thank you so much for having us at Curly's Farm
It's absolutely amazing here
Now, why did you decide to set up a charity?
Once we've had 'DIY SOS' come
and completely change our lives for ever
we decided that we wanted to give
something back
So we sort of came up with the idea of
Curly's Legacy
with Curly's Caravan giving little
holidays away
And then Curly's Farm
started off in our back garden
It started as a couple of animals and now
we we've basically got Noah's Ark on steroids
Yep, so now we're a 10-acre
miniature working farm with over 300 animals
Who are the users of the farm and
how do they actually benefit?
So we have tiny farmers, which are three to five year olds
and we don't have an upper age limit
because that would stop
adults with learning difficulties
from accessing the farm
We have groups and charities that all
come to the farm
and they work on the farm for the day
So we're not a petting zoo
But I think the most important thing there is
intertwined with the school
groups or the home schoolers
are the vulnerable kids that come
because they might be risk of exclusion from school
or they might not have a place to call
their own
How many visitors do you have?
We're probably having somewhere
around 250 people use the farm each week
It's a thousand people a month?
Yes.
Started with one little pig?
Started with one little boy, one little pig,
one little sheep in our back garden
Now, when we first met
and I'll never forget it
It was at the Attitude Pride Awards
As a gay man probably the moment that I felt most
proud to be a gay man
being inspired by the two of you
and then the following year of course
you kept your connection with
the amazing Attitude
What role have they played in setting up Curly's Legacy?
We won the
Attitude Pride Award and it was a really
proud moment for us as well wasn't it?
Yep
We then were offered the support of the
Attitude Foundation for the following year
in order to actually support Curly's Caravan,
which is our third arm of Curly's Legacy
the charity
Now, who gets to use the caravan?
So it's for people to make memories
in a seaside location
and it's for the most vulnerable in our society,
it's for children who might be in care
it's for families perhaps with disabled children,
probably most importantly it's
for families where there's a child with
a life-limiting condition
So it's about them making memories that
they can take forward into their futures
Just imagine the impact of a holiday on
a family that's never had one
just a few precious days away to to make memories
It's just one example of how the
Attitude Magazine Foundation
spends the money it raises within
our LGBTQ community
and changes lives for the better
But we can't do
any of this without you
so if you can spare
just £5 please text ATTITUDE5
to 70480
that's ATTITUDE5 to 70480
Please, please help the Attitude Magazine Foundation
make a difference, a real difference
and thank you so much
That's all kinds of amazing
Gay parents who are figureheads for adoption
and who don't see disability,
a holiday home that makes memories,
for low-income families,
a farm that educates kids
and a food bank
What did any of us do today to make us feel proud?
Please if you can donate just £5
pounds by texting Attitude5
to 70480
and help us to help these brilliant
LGBTQ causes
The details are on screen
OK, back to the business of show
and our last four awards
all of them a bit special
Beaming in to present our next honour
the 2020 Attitude Music Award
is a man who knows a thing or two about a tune
having worked with the likes of Adele,
Miley Cyrus and the late Amy Winehouse
this man has produced countless hits for other artists
and has even scored a mere two number ones
for himself
An underachiever in a personal sense
one might say
Oh, he also won seven Grammys, two Brit Awards
and last year an Oscar for the song 'Shallow' with Lady Gaga
Yeah, but did he win the 2005 BBC New Comedy Award?
No, didn't think so
Here to 'Uptown Funk' up the Attitude Awards
please welcome
the most famous Mark since Marks and Spencer
It's not any Ronson, it's Mark Ronson
[piano playing]
Good evening everyone, you know the facts
really do speak for themselves when it
comes to the winner of Attitude's 2020 Music Award
Her debut album is the most streamed
ever by a female artist in Spotify history
She's the youngest ever female artist to
reach a billion views on YouTube
and she won three Brit Awards
and two Grammys on the way
and that's just the first record
Then, she put out her brilliant second album
'Future Nostalgia' this year and gave us
all the dance party we needed right in
the middle of lockdown
debuted pop charts such a great record
she's such an incredible person
I'm really lucky to have been able to work
with her on a few different projects
from 'Silk City'
to the 'Future Nostalgia' remixing
she's always there
for you when you need her
she's got a big heart and a massive voice
and she's fantastic and it's my pleasure
to present to you
the winner of Attitude's 2020 Music Award
the fabulous Dua Lipa
Thank you so much
this means a lot to me
thank you
First of all, I want yo say thank you to
everyone who supported me throughout the year
if you've enjoyed my music that's the best honour of all
I want to say a massive thank you to Darren
and all the team Attitude for this wonderful award
I'm so grateful
2020 has been such a surreal year
I had literally the best time performing
at Mardi Gras in Sydney at the start of the year
it's crazy to think at one point this year
we were all celebrating together
and then
suddenly it was like someone literally
pulled the plug
Those first few weeks of when Covid really
took hold was so confusing
and it was such a difficult decision to put out
music during a pandemic
but I decided I would because I hope
this record would make people happy and
provide some like
some light in a dark time
I really hope it did because
God knows we needed that
While I was really sad not to take this record out
on the road, the silver lining is that
I've been lucky enough to work with some incredible
artists and create my remix album with
the blessed Madonna
and if it wasn't for this time
that probably wouldn't have happened
so i just have to say what an
honour and a pleasure that was
2020 has been such a year of devastation and loss
but also at times one of learning
Some of us have been fortunate to spend some
precious time with loved ones
but for some in the LGBTQ community
the impact has been much more profound
that might be the case for young people
who are getting to grips with their
sexuality and making life-changing decisions
about when and how to come out
A lot of my LGBTQ friends
have talked to me about what a
vulnerable time this was for them
and how they relied on the support of their
friends to get them through
which was particularly important if they
didn't feel like they had the support at home
for so many Covid has separated them
from that source of support
some have been forced to return home or
to live with people who either don't
know the sexual orientation
or gender identity or are not supportive of it
The mental health implications
don't bear thinking about
for many the loss of hanging out with
their friends and their second chosen
families and losing their safe spaces
whether that's quiet nights in together
or going absolutely crazy in the club scene,
it will have been catastrophic
but we're learning how to navigate the
Covid crisis
Now we need to prepare ourselves for the
looming mental health crisis
we're beginning to see
Many organisations are reporting that
since the pandemic began
the number of LGBTQ people contacting
their crisis lines has doubled
tragically some are reporting
an increase in suicides
so I'm urging all of us if there is someone
you think is vulnerable
you think could do with a hug
even if it's virtual
please don't wait for them to reach out
sorry
Let's wrap our arms around the
young people in this community
and help them to feel safe, heard and loved
let's get through this together
now I don't know about you
but when we're all through this I can't wait to see you all
for a night out and I'll see you on the dancefloor
Thank you so much
You realise we're all just hanging
around at home with some of the most
famous people on the planet tonight
right?
You and your PJs getting stuck into the gin
me alone in the cold and dark
Actually, may I?
How lovely and two of you
A bit more
Are we a mile high yet I think it's about to get bumpy
Oh, that's perfect don't worry with too much tonic
With this drink it's you guys who will have to assume the brace position
Time for the Game Changer Award now
and here to present it are the band that
opened tonight's show
Riding high on the crest of a wave as
their new album, their fifth,
race to Number One on the week of its release
I believe this is called
topping the hit parade?
Formed in 2012
and previous winners of best group
at the 2014 Attitude Awards
Yeah, we saw them coming
and it's amazing because they look only 12 now
Bradley Simpson, James McVey,
Tristan Evans and Connor Ball
collect them all, collect the set
have just celebrated their 4 billionth stream
song worldwide and 4 billion as we know
when hundreds and thousands on Bake Off
looks like plenty is a lot
It is of course
The Vamps
Our next winner is indeed a game changer
and brings a touch of rock and roll to proceedings
so to level the playing field we feel
the need to point out his career began
with a starring role in a Disney kid's TV show
And, no, we are not taking the Mickey
Sorry, we didn't write this
Recapturing the anarchic spirit of punk
star's past
this incendiary singer has
shaken the music industry with his rip-up-the-rulebook attitude
embracing sexual fluidity and blurring
boundaries with what he describes as a
"gender-fuck wardrobe" Hell, yeah
The Doncaster-born hit-maker is a
self-declared member of the LGBTQ community
whose songs beat with a rainbow-coloured heart
He isn't afraid to cause
controversy and stir up trouble
and last year flipped the bird at the establishment
when he beamed the message
"There's hope for the underrated youth"
onto the side of the Houses of Parliament
the fact is he shows this
hope for us all
You could use him to power the
national grid and still have energy to spare
His fans are his army and we salute you, sir
the loud proud winner of the
Attitude Game Changer Award for 2020 is
Yungblud
Wow, the Game Changer Award
what the fuck
I just want to say
a massive thank you to Attitude for this
But I want to stress that this is not my award
This is our award
because I haven't done anything
We have done everything
a community of people that get up every day and
scream and shout because we believe that
each and every one of us
has a right to be equal
No one knows what is going on in a world
right now
no one knows what is going to be
but what we do know
is that each and every one of us has the
right to love and be loved in return
So I want you to look at a person next to you
right now
whoever you with tell him you love him
give him a quick snog
because without love we are all fucked
I love each and every one of you
so much
be proud to be who you are be proud of your colours
if people are struggling
encourage them to uplift their colours too
I love you so much, man
we are changing the game
we have done so much
but we have got such a long way to go
but I love you so much
thank you so much Attitude for this i
love you all
Have a great night
[screams]
[laughter]
In the name of research and being
sufficiently down with the kids
as to steer a ship like the Attitude Awards
into safe harbour
I did a little research into Yungblud
apparently he's most popularly known as
Hungblud in the gay twitter-verse
I can neither confirm
nor deny that
but I can nod knowingly having seen the latex outfit
he performs in to close our show tonight
You have that highlight still to come
you want to stay tuned
Up next, our penultimate stop is the Hero Award
and to present it
is a previous Attitude Man of the Year
we are nothing if not consistent
He is simultaneously
a revolutionary and a creative genius
he was appointed fashion director of ID magazine
at just 18, a role he commanded for two decades,
he is credited with inventing edgy elegance
and his looks are said to have fuelled the 1990's grunge movement
Mine too
Via stints at 'Italian Vogue' and 'American Vogue'
and having revitalised 'W' magazine in the USA, having moved there
as fashion and style director in 2011,
he landed as the new editor-in-chief at
'British Vogue' in 2017
The first black man to hold the position,
since then he has made the iconic title
more contemporary
more inclusive and more relevant than it has ever been
We could not love Edward Enninful OBE more
Sometimes, when the world feels overwhelming,
the hardest thing to do is speak up
and use your voice
so I could not be more impressed
by the winner of Attitude's 2020
Hero Award
a person who constantly challenges,
prejudice and injustice at
at every turn
through her work as a model, presenter and activist
In just a few short years she has broken
more barriers
and crushed through more glass ceilings
than most of us will
in a lifetime
Always putting herself in the firing line
to stand up for what's right
and looking fierce as hell whilst doing it
As a transgender woman
she stands up and demands not only acceptance
but respect
She dares to be
outspoken
and she inspires
all of us to do the same
and her community
will be ever grateful for her courage
I'm proud to announce that the recipient
of the Attitude Hero Award is
Monroe Bergdorf
This is amazing
thank you so so much Attitude magazine
I used to read Attitude magazine when
I was a kid
and it was my introduction to queer culture
I felt less alone and I felt like there was
other people in the world that would understand what
I was feeling
so to receive Hero of the Year Award
and hopefully be
a symbol of hope for a kid that was just
like me that's reading Attitude
or an adult that's like me that
doesn't feel
seen or heard
and you know I feel
really really proud to have been given
this award
you know especially during these wild, wild times
i hope that it's reminded that it's
important to fight for what you believe in
it's important to stand up for
not only yourself but for other people
and you know we can't let hate win
we can't let truth die
it's so important that we embrace difference
and that we listen to each other
we've got so much to learn
from the diversity of the UK
and it's so important that we get rid of these tired
tropes of you know
that difference is something to be scared of
I want to dedicate this to any trans kid
that's feeling alone and unlistened to
by their parents or the British government
I want to dedicate this to black young people
who are demonised consistently
in the press
I know that you guys are the future
leaders of this country
that we can learn so much from each other
and amazing things happen when we come together
so thank you so much for this award
and look after each other
see you on the other side in real life
hopefully
What incredible people
we should all be proud to be ourselves
but Edward and Munroe might well be the best
that we can be
And so to our final award: the 2020
Attitude Man of the Year
supported by Virgin Atlantic
again I can't help but note
still not me?
though as any self-respecting Karen might
I do at least
have the opportunity to speak to the manager
as here to present
is Attitude's publisher and managing director,
a man who became the first gay owner of the title,
in its nigh
30-year history
just five years ago
In that time
he has reinvigorated what is now the
biggest LGBTQ media brand
in the world
and created alongside it
the Attitude Magazine Foundation
a registered charity
which has now raised and distributed
more than £250,000
to LGBTQ causes since summer 2018
He was awarded an OBE for services to
the economy, charity and diversity
in the Queen's birthday honours last year
which is lovely but if anyone can win an award
it seems to me
someone is missing
answer this Darren Styles
Ah, lovely Tom Allen
your man of the year for every year
we just have to give some of the others a chance first
and maybe second and third as well
Besides, sometimes a person comes along who
proves that fairy tales
really can come true
and who'd be a greater exemplar of that than the star
of Disney's most recent iteration
of 'Beauty and the Beast'?
Attitude's Man of the Year is that person
who started life as a young gay boy
growing up with big dreams
in a small Welsh town
and who's gone on to become a bona fide
Hollywood superstar
honestly all that's missing is a beanstalk a giant,
and someone who lives just beyond the
second star to the right and straight on until morning
His success unequivocally proves however
that maybe times
are changing at the very summit of the
movie industry
with blockbuster roles in everything
from 'The Hobbit' and the 'Fast and Furious' franchise
this out and proud on-screen action hero
has shot an arrow through the heart of
the long-held myth
that holds that leading men can't be
openly gay
as his many fans' legs turning to jelly
at the mere mention of his name
can attest
When he's not making movie magic
he's making sweet music too
the release of his best-selling debut album
'At Last' in 2019
proved he's every bit the singer and
earlier this year he made us all
proud to be Welsh whether actually Welsh
or not
when he marked Cardiff Pride with
a stirring rendition
of Queen's 'Who Wants to Live Forever'
backed by the Welsh National Opera
The performance saw his face beamed on to
landmarks across Wales
and that's the kind of architectural
regeneration we can get behind
Tidy, as they say in Wales
The Attitude Man of the Year 2020
Is, of course, Luke Evans
Wow, wow, wow
Thank you very, very much for this award
Man of the Year?
And what a year it has been
We have been separated from our loved ones,
we've been isolated, some of us have spent way too
much time on their own,
and we've had the choice to take into
account the welfare of a stranger
that we may never even meet
Powerful stuff
Man of the year...
why have I been given this award?
well I guess it's to do with what I've
achieved
and what I've done but I also feel it's to do with
how far I've come and where I've come from
so I thought I would
give you a little insight into my background
so I left home at 16
and I know to some people that would
sound very young
but when I was 16 I had a fire in my belly
and a fire in my heart and my soul
a fire that was ignited
by the compulsion to live my life
to find my identity
and to be the most
authentic version of myself
I could be
At times, yeah, it was terrifying leaving everyone
and everything I knew to find a new group of friends
and to discover a community that I could feel a
part of
I moved to London
and I went to college in London
and that was the city that gave me that
As a gay teenager
with my mates on a Friday evening
we would venture into Soho
and my eyes would pop out of my skull
at the different sights that I would see
The beautiful, the scary, the sexy
and the sheer unadulterated
show-offs that would frequent
that place
I'd finally found my people in all colours of the rainbow
And I knew that I was not alone
Over the years, it may have looked like
I wasn't the proud gay man
that folk were expecting me to be
but you know
to me I was just trying to be my true self
and doing it my way and being honest and
true to the people that I loved
I was trying to cut my own path and
cutting your own path means that you're
not walking someone else's
and in doing so I hope that I provided
hope to gay people young and old
around the world who may not have been
able to come out or struggle with it
or maybe in a part of the world where
it's illegal
or if by coming out they would be in danger
or maybe it's family pressures that have
stopped them from living their true life
I hope that my journey can provide them
with some hope
that they can see there are millions of people
all around the world that are just like them
and that they are not alone
You know, people are often shocked
when they discover that the actor who
played the bad guy in 'Fast in the Furious'
who had the big fight sequence
with The Rock and Vin Diesel
is actually gay
wow
or that the narcissistic chauvinistic
womaniser from 'Beauty and the Beast'
was played by a gay guy
Well, here's some news: who we are
and what we are and who we love
has absolutely no effect or influence
on our abilities, our ambitions and our talents
Let me tell you I've met actors, CEOs, teachers,
carpenters, train drivers, leaders of countries,
musicians, fashion designers,
the list goes on and on and on
I'm so proud to be part of a community
that is full
of the most intelligent, passionate,
creative, brave, strong
human beings
because you know what
at the end of the day
it's what we are
we're human being all doing our bit
So thank you,
thank you very much for this award
I wish that I could be with you guys in London
and I wish we could all be at that party
getting dizzy on the Champagne and the glamour
but sadly, we can't do that this year
So, until then
I wish you all the very best and to look after yourselves
and to love one another
take care
There he is
there they are and there we are
Those were the winners of the Attitude Awards 2020
as emphatic a response of love and diversity
to any year
let alone the oddest and
most dysfunctional one
most of us have ever lived through
I've been Tom Allen and will continue to be so
Thank you for keeping me company on an
evening that might well
otherwise have been quite lonely
Please do support the Attitude Magazine Foundation
and its LGBTQ causes
whenever and wherever you can
the details are on screen
one more time now
To play us out with a
headline performance to rock your world
and everything in it
so maybe move the glassware and small children to a place
of safety
I will leave you with the whirlwind that
is the brilliant
Yungblud
