One of the great mavericks of British music, Kevin Rowland, recounts his formative years and reveals a deeply personal account of his life. From trying to be 'good' at church and to make his mum proud, to thieving and fighting on the outside,  from his early discovery of his love for music as a school boy, to his earliest gigs in his brother's band, Kevin reveals the roots of his musical journey, and the lessons they imparted to him through the years. With an unwavering passion for music and a highly tuned sense of fashion, Kevin rocketed down a path that led to his huge chart successes with Dexys Midnight Runners in the 1980s. Bringing us back to these years, he also reveals the burden of fame, the inner turmoil of stardom, and the propelling power of his musical vision. Learn more about your ad choices.

From a shifting childhood split between Wolverhampton, rural Ireland and London, to fronting one of the most distinctive and uncompromising bands of the 1980s, Kevin Rowland's life has been defined by defiance, vision and resilience. In this in-depth conversation with James O'Brien, the Dexys Midnight Runners frontman reflects on the lasting impact of a father's harsh words, the struggle to find his place in the world, and the burning drive to prove himself through music and style.Rowland speaks candidly about the creation and evolution of Dexys- from their soulful beginnings and fiercely protected aesthetic, to the extraordinary success of Come On Eileen and the pressures that came with it. He recalls the relentless control he exerted to protect his artistic vision, the personal cost of that intensity, and the creative compromises he would later come to regret.The conversation also explores his battle with addiction, the turning point that led to his recovery in 1993, and the revelations that followed as he began to confront the past he had long avoided. Now, with three decades of sobriety behind him, Kevin talks about continuing music on his own terms, embracing new ideas, and learning to be kinder to himself.Honest, unflinching and unexpectedly uplifting, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the man behind Dexys, the making of a global hit, and the life that came after.Find out more about Kevin Rowland's memoir Bless Me Father here

There's something romantic about glorious failure and Will nails it perfectly in ‘Street Level Superstar: A Year With Lawrence'. Over 40 years plagued by bad luck and self-sabotage with Felt, Denim and Mozart Estate, Lawrence has pursued fame and success while refusing to do what's required to achieve them. Will spent 12 months wandering the streets of London with him to paint a fond, touching and extremely entertaining portrait of the worst-equipped pop star attempting a comeback, a man on a holy, monastic mission in a book about “sacrifice and the price of a dream”. Among many highlights here, we talk about … … where Lawrence fits in the pantheon of great underachievers like Syd Barrett, Nick Drake and Arthur Lee. … and his similarity to Kevin Shields and Kevin Rowland. … the wisdom of a former girlfriend: “stop trying to be the pop star you don't want to be and you might get somewhere”. … is lack of success the central dream of the indie world?   … why Denim were Britpop before Britpop happened and why EMI melted down all copies of their last single. … his rules before the book began - “No anecdotes, no interviews with former members of Felt …” … what his stalker planned to get his attention. … fantasy girlfriends and “a fear of cheese”. … why he didn't go to his mother's funeral. … and why Truman Capote's portrait of Marlon Brando, the Duke and His Domain, was a touchstone for this book. Order ‘Street Level Superstar: A Year With Lawrence' here:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Street-Level-Superstar-Lawrence-Will-Hodgkinson/dp/1785120220Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Nige Tassell used to go to school in full donkey-jacket-and-woolly-hat ensemble to express his boundless devotion to Dexys Midnight Runners. Forty years later he set out to find and interview everyone who'd ever been a member. For some, their time in the ranks was a joyful, career-launching delight. Others felt it was like a slightly chilly and controlling cult. They all took a while to recover and they all had extraordinary stories to tell in his latest book ‘Searching For Dexys Midnight Runners'. Here's a flavour of what gets discussed … … ‘No drugs or alcohol! No smiling! No eye contact with the audience!' and other unsettling Dexys mantras. … examples of Kevin Rowland ‘snatching defeat from the jaws of victory'. … the many ways the band made themselves deliberately different'. … the event supporting Bowie that got their power cut onstage in Paris and had them thrown off the tour. ... the heavy-handed recruitment of Helen O'Hara. … Geno Washington and other strands of the Dexys DNA. … the ad they took in the NME that soured their relationship with the music press. … and how Rowland's approach today remains resolutely unchanged.   Order Nige's book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Searching-Dexys-Midnight-Runners-Tassell/dp/178512059XSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free - access to all of our content, plus a whole load more!: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Dexys frontman Kevin Rowland joins CURVA MUNDIAL to chat about his love of Wolverhampton and the so-called punk attitude supporting the Wolves.

Helen O'Hara is a talented violinist best known for her contributions to British band Dexys Midnight Runners. Born in London, Helens musical journey began at an early age. She exhibited a natural affinity for the violin, showcasing both technical prowess and a deep emotional connection to the instrument. Her early training and dedication to mastering the violin set the stage for her later success with Dexy's Midnight Runners. She had met the charismatic Kevin Rowland in the late 70s and joined the band in the early 1980s, during a crucial period of the band's evolution. Her introduction added a distinctive and soulful dimension to the band's sound, creating a unique blend of rock, soul, and folk elements that set Dexy's apart in the music scene. Dexys Midnight Runners, originally formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England, by Kevin Rowland, emerged as a prominent force in the New Wave and post-punk movements. The band was characterised by its eclectic musical style, combining elements of soul, pop, and Celtic folk, and was widely recognized for its energetic live performances. The band achieved commercial success with their second album, "Too-Rye-Ay," released in 1982. This album featured some of Dexy's most iconic tracks, including the chart-topping hit "Come On Eileen." The distinctive sound of the album, marked by the prominent use of strings and horns, showcased the influence of Helen O'Hara's violin and contributed significantly to the band's success. After the release of "Too-Rye-Ay," Dexys Midnight Runners underwent a significant transformation. In 1985, Kevin Rowland decided to disband Dexys Midnight Runners and subsequently reformed the group under the simplified name "Dexys." This change reflected Rowland's desire to move away from the Midnight Runners' image and to emphasize a new musical direction. Under the moniker Dexys, the band continued to explore various musical genres and experiment with their sound. While the lineup underwent changes over the years, Helen O'Hara remained a key member, contributing her violin expertise to the evolving Dexy's sound. Despite various challenges and lineup changes, Dexys (formerly Dexys Midnight Runners) continued to release music and tour, leaving an indelible mark on the music industry. The band's legacy endures not only for their chart-topping hits but also for their willingness to push musical boundaries and embrace diverse influences, with Helen O'Hara's violin playing a crucial role in shaping their distinctive sound. The extremely talented and humble Helen O'Hara joins us today as our guest to unravel the story of Dexys, to tell us about her personal journey and to share details of her recently released memoir 'What's She Like.'

Welcome back to another search for the very worst album of all time, yes, it's Trve. Crvp. Pop!. Steve and Sam are back and are looking at My Beauty, the second solo album from former (and current) Dexy's Midnight Runners frontman, released on the 21st of September 1999.Rowland was one of the biggest stars in music in Britain in the 1980's, but after Dexy's split in 1987 he spiralled into depression and drug addiction and decided to quit music. After a spell living on the streets Rowland signed to Creation Records, home of Oasis, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine and, of course, 3 Colours Red, and released a set of covers, with the lyrics changed to reflect his recent struggles. It should have been a triumphant comeback, but Rowland decided to portray himself on the front cover wearing a dress and lingerie, much to the confusion of the UK music press, and then turn up fully made up and in a dress at the Reading Festival in 1999 a month before the album was released. It was a disaster and completely overshadowed the music on My Beauty. Rowland, it was reported, only sold 500 copies of the album and he became the punchline to many a joke at the time. But, 24 years on, does the music stand up? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

On the eve of the release of the 6th Dexys album, The Feminine Divine, Kevin talks to Paul about creativity, life, Roxy Music and the feminine awakening at the heart of the new music. Lost and Sound is proudly sponsored by Audio-TechnicaThe new Dexys album The Feminine Divine is available  from 28th July 2023Paul's debut book, Coming To Berlin: Global Journeys Into An Electronic Music And Club Culture Capital is out now on Velocity Press.

We all remember Dexys Midnight Runners in the early 80s with "Come On Eileen" as an epic tune that you always smile when it comes across the airwaves on the nostalgia station. Dexys (the current name) have been making music for 40 years, and if you missed out on it, there was some wonderful music made by these guys. There was a moment when Kevin Rowland was trying to make some changes in his live and get sober, that some major changes happened in his image and his approach to things. With the release of an album "My Beauty" that had him dressed in some fine women's attire, he went on to embrace his "Sexy Feminine" side. The press wasn't very kind to him, and somehow took more of an issue with it, and so much was lost there than what the music had to offer. I have been a fan of all of the music, and didn't really think much of what the point was that Kevin Rowland was trying to make, until now. Dexys has released an album called "The Feminine Divine", and there is so much in this album you will have to go through it several times. It is a musical "Fiction" presentation of Kevin's journey out of toxic masculinity, and finding his whole self. Nothing wrong with that, I bless anyone with the kudos to make it that far and in one piece.

In honor of ALS Awareness Month, I asked the listeners, "What do you want to know about ALS & living with a terminal illness, but you're afraid to ask? "   More questions than I could imagine came in, so I asked a few friends living with ALS to help answer these tough questions.  So in this episode, I chat with  Sunny Brous, Kate Nycz, Maceo Carter and Kevin Rowland  as we go through each question submitted by listeners of this podcast.  Between us, our ALS diagnosis ages vary from 27- 47 and years living with ALS spans from 2 to 18 years, so it was great to have a wide range of experience to learn from.   I love the incredible support and curiosity for this unique episode.  We had such an amazing "round table" discussion, I decided to have 2 episodes so we could address all the questions.  In this part 2/2, we answer questions about mental strength, the grieving process, bucket list, sex/intimacy, thoughts on getting a trach, fears about what's to come, planning our own funeral and more.  If you missed part 1, we answered questions about fears of dying, mental health, survivor's guilt, what brings joy, boundaries and faith.  I hope you'll listen in and share with a friend to help us create more awareness of ALS.  Hugs, Lorri              Follow:          https://bit.ly/ImDyingToTellYouInstagram
