À propos de cet audio
Carol Decker - another Smash Hits cover star on the podcast! T’Pau are playing dates this summer and autumn and she talks here – hilariously - about life on the ‘80s package tour circuit and the first shows she ever saw and played, which stops off at ….
… does any audience beat a Butlin’s Mid-Weeker on their third pint?
… from Black Mirror to PG Tips: the afterlife of a hit.
… seeing Rod & the Faces in Stoke-On-Trent and Dire Straits in a Wrestling Hall.
… “Appearing In An A&E Near You!”: accident-prone ‘80s stars, a sitcom waiting to happen.
... the arcane world of the backing vocalist – “don’t distract, nothing too big”.
… the grim tradition of headline bands’ road crews making the support acts suffer.
… ‘80s package tours with OMD, Kim Wilde, Toyah, Clare Grogan and Nik Kershaw.
… playing working men’s clubs with the Lazers in 1980 - “an unwelcome distraction from the Bingo”.
… visits to Dusty Springfield’s grave.
… “Universal own the world”: when your songs appear in films and ads but you couldn’t keep the rights.
… more power to the Amnesty for Unrecouped Bands!
