Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - wherefor episode 48, it’s a delight to feature our special guest, Manchester-based American songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, BC Camplight!
A Mancunian in his own right, BC Camplight a.k.a. Brian Christinzio has been up Norf for over a decade, in that time putting out a handful of choice releases under tastemaker label Bella Union. In June 2025, BC Camplight put out his latest opus, ‘A Sober Conversation’, a very personal record that deals with themes of sobriety and child abuse. Having referred to childhood trauma obliquely on past records, the latest release has the subject front and centre.
Rather than conduct the interview over Zoom, it was a pleasure to speak with Brian from his back garden in south Manchester on a lovely summer’s day. Whilst his sweet dog Frank slept soundly on my lap, we got into it pretty deep with Brian - covering the very serious topics of the record, but also his friendship with Badly Drawn Boy, the perils of social media, misogyny in the music industry and working with his partner.
