Podcasts about Kajagoogoo

After a short spell as a punk rocker, Limahl found fame with the band Kajagoogoo after responding to an advert in a music magazine in 1982, where the then named Art Noveau were looking for a new lead singer. The following year he left the band – but quickly went onto find his own success as a solo artist with his hit “The Never Ending Story”. His early ambitions, growing up in Wigan, were for a career as an actor and he even toured in production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. What then will he choose as his Inheritance Tracks... Inherited: Move Over Darling by Doris Day Passed on: Four Brothers by Manhattan TransferProducers: Catherine Powell and Anna Bailey

Double BAFTA winning and shapeshifting actor Adeel Akhtar has been seen on screen in Murdered by My Father, Sherwood and Fool Me Once and on stage he's currently playing a politician in The Estate. Terry Deary is the bestselling author of Horrible Histories and has now written his first adult crime thriller…Actually, I'm A Murderer. And Charlotte Philby is the investigative journalist, author of spy thrillers, and has uncovered the women behind her grandfather's double life as one of the Cambridge Five. All that...plus the “Never Ending” Inheritance Tracks of Kajagoogoo star and singer Limahl. Presenters: Nikki Bedi and Huw StephensProducer: Catherine Powell

In this episode, Limahl shares the story behind Kajagoogoo's 1983 smash hit “Too Shy,” reflecting on the band's rapid rise from local gigs to global stardom. He details his chance meeting with Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, whose mentorship helped land them a deal with EMI, and breaks down the experimental recording process that gave “Too Shy” its distinct synth-pop sound. Limahl also opens up about his early days working as a waiter at a celebrity hotspot, the playful inspiration behind the lyrics, and how the band's diverse musical influences shaped their unique identity. With a mix of behind-the-scenes insights and personal reflections, this conversation captures the magic and momentum behind a song that still shines more than four decades later.

Limahl; From Kajagoogoo's Too Shy to Giorgio Moroder's Never Ending Story!Limahl (born Christopher Hamill) is a British pop singer best known as the lead vocalist of the 1980s band Kajagoogoo, whose global hit "Too Shy" topped charts in 1983. After going solo, he gained further success with the international hit "The NeverEnding Story", the theme song for the cult fantasy film of the same name.Full Interview to watch here;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWseLSeUd7QLimahl has continued to perform and release music over the years, often blending nostalgia with fresh material. His latest song, "Horse With No Name" (2024), is a modern reimagining of the classic track by the band America. With updated production and Limahl's signature vocals, it pays homage to the original while giving it a contemporary synth-pop twist, showing his enduring versatility as an artist.=========================

EPISODE 129: Winning the hearts of millions of fans in the 80s as the lead singer of British band Kajagoogoo, Limahl enjoyed the instant celebrity of hitting the top of the charts with his debut single ‘Too Shy' which was followed by two more Top 20 hits ‘Ooh to Be Ah' & ‘Hang on Now' (all of which he co-wrote). After being unceremoniously (and infamously) kicked out of the band, Limahl struck out on his own and soon re-emerged in the charts again with his first solo single ‘Only For Love'. That was quickly followed by the Giorgio Moroder– produced worldwide smash ‘Neverending Story', theme song from the hit film of the same name. 2019 saw Limahl re-enter mass collective consciousness when his music was highlighted by three major US television shows. Too Shy was featured in the standalone, interactive Black Mirror episode Bandersnatch on Netflix and also in AMC's hit anthology American Horror Story: 1984, while Neverending Story played a pivotal role in the third season of Netflix's Stranger Things. His new single and remake of the America classic "Horse With No Name" is out now. limahl.com Contact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!

This week we're celebrating 10 eventful years with the lovable Limahl! The guy has maintained a career in the public eye thanks to two gigantic hits and a relatively small catalog - just one album with Kajagoogoo and three on his own. That's not much, but the legendary look and sound still carries a lot of weight and nostalgia. He just released his cover of "A Horse With No Name" which you wouldn't think would make sense and yet it's fantastic. He talks openly about how he's stayed relevant all these years, his coming out journey, his relationship with his former bandmates, the "Stranger Things" effect, and more. You'll come away loving him even more. Enjoy!  www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod www.limahl.com

Send us a textLimahl stops by the show to discuss his latest release, how taking a chance with Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran helped his band get a record deal, coming out to his Mum, and so much more. *******“The original ‘70s track has been a favorite on my 'Evening' playlist for a long time,” says UK music topliner LIMAHL about his reimagining of the classic folk/rock hit “A Horse With No Name” that is released via Christopher Music on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. “The idea to reimagine it was always ticking away in  the back of my mind.”The song was first released in 1971 in the UK (1972 in the US). The original was composed and performed by folk rock trio America and topped Billboard's Hot 100 and Easy Listening charts (it reached #3 on the UK Singles chart and was certified gold in 1972). Adapting the ‘70s musical aesthetics and injecting a bit of ‘90s electronica, Limahl's updated version of the song carries a bit of a retro-futuristic quality that feels equally at home in 2025. “The ‘90s have been enjoying a revival which prompted me to experiment with the drums/rhythms from that decade,” he explains. “Then the jerky, ‘Jupiter 8' analogue synthesizer/sequencer was added with a filtering envelope, and it became an important personality in the track.” He also toyed with the iconic non-lexical “la la” vocal and updated it, incorporating it further into the song. Absent on the ‘70s original but included in this rendition is the ‘la la' motif in the intro, the key-change on the last verse, and in the final chorus, the ‘la la's' crisscrossing the main lyric with the melody. Saying that, almost as an afterthought, a guitar from standout musician Steve Cooper was added, and it became the "icing on the cake.”The resulting track transforms the classic folk track with a mesmerizing and hypnotic synth-dominated swirl, making the song pop and click in ways that would have been unimaginable in the 1970s. The equally mesmerizing accompanying video bursts with surreal and psychedelic imagery, reflecting the song's hallucinatory spirit. Winning the hearts of millions of fans in the ‘80s as the lead singer of British band Kajagoogoo, Limahl enjoyed the instant celebrity of hitting the top of the charts with their debut single "Too Shy" (75million+ streams to date) which was followed by two more Top 20 hits "Ooh To Be Ah" and "Hang On Now" (all of which he co-wrote). Limahl struck out on his own and soon re-emerged in the charts again with his first solo single "Only For Love," That was quickly followed with the Giorgio Moroder–produced worldwide smash "Neverending Story" (151million+ streams to date)," the theme song from the hit film of the same name.Website: http://www.limahl.com/*****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

Nigel's guest today is Limahl, lead singer of 80s pop icons Kajagoogoo and one of the most recognisable faces - and hairdos - of the 1980s. Limahl blasted into the spotlight of fame with the band's first hit single, the chart-topping Too Shy and subsequent singles and a hit album White Feathers followed. But Limahl was suddenly and surprisingly fired from the band leaving him to go solo – which he successfully did with hits like Only For Love and the legendary Never Ending Story. Limahl is a gay man, still performs far and wide and has new music ready to share.This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every episode Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQIA+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And it always guarantees A Gay Old Time!Follow the podcast on Instagram @agayoldtimepodcast and on TikTok @agayoldtime Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In 1983 Kajagoogoo released their first single, “Too Shy”. The song became a massive international hit in Great Britain, the US, Canada, Japan, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, and about a half dozen other countries. The song was so huge that EMI were pressing 35,000 copies a day to keep up with demand! My guest this week on BAXIES MUSICAL PODCAST is former lead singer Limahl. Limahl talks about that song, getting fired from the band, reforming, and the release of his other international hit “Never Ending Story”. Limahl also talks about his upcoming single—an incredible retooling of “Horse With No Name” by America. Just an incredible story. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app!

Extrait : « … Comme à l'époque ces morceaux me faisaient reprendre deux fois des moules, j'ignorais à peu près tout de qui ou quoi se cachait derrière ces méga hits planétaires, qui m'ont quand même un peu pourri la life, puisqu'en gros, là où il y avait toutes ces filles qui me plaisaient bien, il y avait aussi cette musique, j'ai pas eu une jeunesse facile. Aussi, quelle ne fut pas ma surprise de découvrir, en cherchant à en savoir un peu plus sur Kajagoogoo, que la chanteuse avait du poil aux pattes, je veux dire que, derrière le micro, il y avait un chanteur. À ma décharge, reconnaissons que Limahl, puisqu'il s'agit de lui, n'avait rien d'un baryton … »Pour commenter les épisodes, tu peux le faire sur ton appli de podcasts habituelle, c'est toujours bon pour l'audience.

NORTHERN EXPOSURE ORGANIC DEEP HOUSE MUSIC | This week on Lester the Nightfly Radio. Feat. PJDJ 80's Remixes of Kajagoogoo and Go West.

This week on The Metro, Rev Jeff Ivins brings you the following bands for your weekly time trip to the 1980s: The Fixx, Ultravox, Thomas Dolby, A Flock Of Seagulls, Berlin, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Alphaville, Naked Eyes, Men Without Hats, Icicle Works, Peter Gabriel, Kajagoogoo, Real Life, Gary Numan, and finishing off with M.

It was the wise prophet and occasional flower impersonator Peter Gabriel that said, ‘I don't remember, I don't recall,I have no memory of anything at all.'Do you remember 2008?Yes, it's only (!) 16 years ago, so I've no doubt you still have packets in the kitchen cupboard that are older, but do you also remember how the pop landscape of 2008 was mapping out? Indeed, what on earth was going on in your life eight years into the 21st century?You see, this writer (it's, me IAIN!) has quite a glitchy view back of his shoulder to this year. Life had thrown a few curveballs (listen in, it's kinda revealed) meaning that pop memory has become patchy. Perhaps for you, dear listeners, 2008 is similarly harder to initially grasp hold of. Fear not! The world's finest compilation series (as always) is on hand to jog memories, restart downloads an piece together for us what was selling, streaming, rising and falling up and down the hit parade that we call “The Charts'. It's NOW, That's What I Call Music 69!And crikey, what a mix we had!Torchsongs, soul songs, Neo-soul songs, Soul-dance songs, Northern soul songs! Songs that weren't soul soul songs but would like to be!Big pop statements from Britney, Robyn, Girls Aloud!Slightly smaller pop statements from Shane Ward and Leon Jackson!We also had some huge ghosts of pop pasts resurfacing thanks to the likes of Rihanna, Duffy, Kylie and others. And some iconic artists that would stay with us through some era defining tracks. Because sometimes pop is the only thing that helps us when things aren't OK (but will be OK). Our special guest for this episode is author of the frankly wonderful Don't Stop the Music - A Year of Pop History, One Day at a Time, and lifetime pop fan Justin Lewis.AND, if all of this wasn't enough (and don't forget Basshunter is in there too), find out where Joe Fagin fits in, who the Kajagoogoo of NOW69 is, which group may (or may not) have their own day time quiz show, how Justin grew up with Tom and Annie on Radio One and grew back in love with music in 2008 through some of these songs, and also which tracks deserve 10 out of 10. And of course, why pop is still so important for making sense of the world around us, in any decade!All of this, and I've managed not to say anything negative about Scouting for Girls!Oh no, wait… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on The Metro, Rev Jeff Ivins brings you the following bands to take you back to the 1980s: Cutting Crew, The Cars, Pet Shop Boys, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, The Romantics, Slow Children, Bow Wow Wow, Adam & The Ants, Kajagoogoo, Ian Dury, Big Country, Plastic Bertrand, and finishing off with some Tina Turner.

It's November 2023, and the world's most successful compilation series is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Five decades of compiling the latest hits, the occasional miss, but always the songs that soundtracked our lives. Always there, always democratically and expertly sequencing the music that the UK buying (downloading/streaming/swiping) public were grooving to, laughing to, dancing along with, or crying about (add in your own band or artists here).What else is still with us from 1983? And still having such an impact?Breakfast Time? Well, certainly not Frank Bough.The Ford Sierra? Taxi!£1 coins? Down the back of the sofa.Kajagoogoo? Hush hush, as they say. (One for the older listeners)So, as our friends at NOW rightly celebrate the past through a stunning array of special albums and even see podcasters pop up across several TV programmes waxing lyrically about the famous compilation series (well, no-one else will talk about it, will they?) the numbered series that started it all in November 1983 continued to do exactly what it set out to do; bring together the songs of NOW.Perhaps no longer just the Top Chart Hits, that tag line that emblazoned the front cover of earlier volumes, but now taking into account the various ways we actually DO consume music in the third decade of the 21st century.NOW 116 - The Best of the Best.47 tracks. Tik Tok stars, Film soundtrack anthems, legendary decade surviving artists. Pop, rock, dance, soul.All present and correct, all breathlessly exciting, all taking that snapshot in time of pop culture. And as we know, an invaluable window into the soundtrack of our lives.Where, indeed, Agnetha, do we go from here?To understand the past and the future, we always need to be in the NOW. (Take a note of that line, its a good one: Ed)And joining me to make sense of this dazzling volume of the world famous compilation series is award winning writer, journalist and NOW fan David Quantick.David explains why he wanted to get in 'at the deep end' and why he thinks that NOW116 highlights that pop is in a fine healthy state in. We explore what actually is a 'hit' in 2023/24, why short songs are always an indication of great songs, why NOW continues to keep getting it right and how the compilation series is Top Of The Pops in exile.Along the way, discover who David describes as 'the Dr. Who of Pop', who are 'The Strokes for Queen fans (or was that the other way around)' and what a bad AI version of George Michael may look (and sound) like. We also revisit why Pop continues to Eat Itself (yes, David came up with that one!), why the female artists are leaving the boys behind, who the 'ASDA Madonna' is and who the real Madonna is. And did Chris Lowe really offer Tracey Chapman a lift in 1988?We really do (watch what I do here) Paint The Town Red!Jump in, buckle up and remind yourself why pop is still very, very important.

This week we're back in 1983! Kornflake shares a goofy 1983 commercial for Dial soap, while Kevin takes an absurdly quick look at the pop music of 1983.

While the Flopcast covers Kajagoogoo, they take care of everything else.)

And best of all, Happy Birthday to America's 1980s sweetheart, Phoebe Cates! Celebrate by watching Private School. It's not Phoebe's best movie, but it is Phoebe's 1983 movie. A bunch of 1983 commercials! (Dial soap ad is at 6:50) White Rocket Entertainment: Music of 1983! Modern Musicology: Music of 1983 Part 1 and Part 2! And our regular links... The Flopcast website!
