Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 29ú lá de mí Aibreán, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1977 bhí na Aontachtaí ag iarradh labhair leis na dílsigh chun stop a chur agus aistarraing na hoibrithe ar feadh cúpla lá. I 1994 bhí an banc taisce chun moladh a thabhairt chuig an rialtas go mbeadh an bhainc náisiúnta sa tír ábalta cheannaigh ceannas den acmhainn stát. I 1983 chuir Joseph Boland cheist faoi chruthú fostaíochta de bharr go raibh níos mó ná 105 míle duine sa chontae. I 1994 bhí an t-ospidéal in Inis ar droch liosta ó saineolaí go raibh na daoine ag obair ann buartha fúthú féin níos mó ná an caighdeán den chúram de na daoine san ospidéal. Sin Spandau Ballet le True – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1983. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2001 chuir Rod Stewart cheist chun a móideanna pósta a athnuachan. Dúirt sé go raibh sé ag teastáil de bharr go raibh na ngealltanas a rinne sé níos mó ná 600 bhliain d'aois agus nach raibh siad ag shroich 35 bhliain d'aois. I 2007 shroich The Arctic Monkeys uimhir a haon lena halbam Favourite Worst Nightmare. Bhí siad ar barr na cairteacha ar feadh trí sheachtain. Bhí an t-albam ainmnithe don Mercury Prize an bhliain sin agus bhuaigh siad an t-albam is mó ag The Brit Awards an bhliain tar éis. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Jerry Seinfeld I Meiriceá I 1954 agus rugadh aisteoir Daniel Day-Lewis sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1957 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé.

Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 29th of April, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1977: the united unionist action council called on the norths loyalist workers for a total stoppage and withdrawal of labour from mid night on monday next. 1994: the trustee savings bank was expected to submit formal proposals to government that the national irish bank should be allowed to buy control of the state asset 1983: the chairman of clare co.council development team mr joseph boland this week called for urgent action and new thinking on job creation in clare in view of the population of nearly 105,000 projected for the country. 1994: ennis general hospital was put very firmly on the sick list by a group of outside experts who have concluded that it is more concerned with staff and their problems than with the improvement of overall standards of patients care. That was Spandau Ballet with True – the biggest song on this day in 1983. Onto music news on this day In 2001 Rod Stewart asked for a change in wedding vows bringing them up to-date and to be treated like a dog licence. Stewart said 'a change is needed because they've been in existence for 600 years when people used to live until they were only 35'. 2007 Arctic Monkeys started a three-week run at No.1 on the UK album chart with their second album Favourite Worst Nightmare. The album was nominated for the 2007 Mercury Prize and won Best British Album at the 2008 Brit Awards.

Today's fascinating episode of Synthetic Dreams features legendary singer, Tony Hadley .Tony, is of course, best known as the lead singer of one of the biggest bands of the 1980s, Spandau Ballet. The band, who formed in Islington, London back in 1979, scored a number of hits. Spandau's debut single, ‘To Cut A Long Story Short', one of the greatest synth-pop anthems of all-time, reached number five in the UK charts and was the first of ten UK top-10 singles for the band, reaching global success with ‘Chant No 1, ‘True; 'Gold' and ‘Through the Barricades' to name a few.We discuss, amongst other things, his Christmas Big Band Tour 2025, the 40th anniversary of Live Aid and his memories from that special day. He also talks about electronic music and his love Kraftwerk and early Ultravox, plus his time hanging out at legendary new romantic club, The Blitz.

Début 1985, si on avait eu idée de ce qui se tramait à Los Angeles, on aurait été bien enthousiasmé par le projet ahurissant qui se montait. D'une part, dans la grande maison des Jackson, alors que le chimpanzé de Michael faisait des facéties, Lionel Richie tentait de trouver une mélodie sur le piano. Un truc pas simple entre le mainate qui imitait l'aboiement d'un chien et celui des parents de Michael qui lui répondait aussi sec. Et d'autre part, dans les bureaux de Ken Kragen, l'agent de Lionel Richie, tout le personnel était à la manœuvre pour réunir l'équipe de stars qui allait interpréter leur chanson, comme sur le disque des Britanniques qui n'arrêtait pas d'engranger les records … Mais quand tout Londres, de Phil Collins à Bono, en passant par Spandau Ballet et Sting, était venu en studio, tranquille, le seul dimanche de libre, réunir toutes ces stars américaines étaient un vrai casse-tête. Pour les convaincre, il suffisait de prononcer les noms de Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Lionel Richie et Stevie Wonder, auxquels Kragen avait ajouté le nom d'un autre de ses poulains, alors au sommet : Kenny Rogers. Et à une époque où le portable n'existe pas, il faut franchir le barrage des agents, conjoints et secrétaires à l'autre bout de la ligne fixe. Et puis, ces artistes ont la bougeotte : personne n'est au même endroit, à la même date. C'est infernal ! C'est alors que passe la pub télé annonçant la remise prochaine des American Music Awards et le casting de ceux qui y participeront : Prince, Madonna, Hall & Oates, Cyndi Lauper et Diana Ross. Ils seront donc présents à Los Angeles, tous frais payés. Alors il faut contacter le producteur de l'émission pour qu'il soit de la partie. Chose faite, il n'y a plus qu'à travailler sur ceux qui ne seront pas présents. Et quand ils réussissent à convaincre Bruce Springsteen au top avec Born in the USA puis Bob Dylan, qui est n'est plus au top mais c'est une légende, il n'y a désormais plus aucun souci de casting.Le dernier souci est en fait, le plus gros, celui sur lequel tout repose : la chanson elle-même. Car on ne compte pas les grandes réunions de stars qui ont fait flop parce que le titre qu'ils ont interprété n'était pas terrible. Et bien, dix jours avant la date fatidique, ils ne sont encore nulle part. C'est vrai que Lionel Richie, avec sa tournée solo, et Michael Jackson, son Thriller, plus le nouvel album et la tournée des Jacksons tout juste derrière, avant son prochain album, ne manquent pas de travail. Alors chaque fois qu'ils se voient, ils ne sentent pas vraiment la nécessité de boucler la chanson. On règlera ça la prochaine fois. Sauf qu'aujourd'hui, un appel de Ken Kragen les ramène à la réalité : hé les gars, ce n'est pas seulement votre chanson, on a aussi Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Ray Charles et Tina Turner.

By his 20s he was working as a sound designer for Akai, Roland Emu/Ensoniq, eventually signing on exclusively with the latter. Later, due to a growing demand for software instruments and libraries, Eddie started to develop libraries for various software manufacturers, including Native Instruments, Kiesel, Sound Effects Library, Arturia and Propellerheads. A meeting with Phil Allen, a Capital Radio DJ, resulted in the company Samplecraze, which Eddie has spent 20 years developing as an educational resource. At this time he trained in music production and soon gained a number of prominent contracts working with some notable artistes such as Busta Rhymes, Greensleeves, 9 Bar, SFP, Sleeveless, Chris Campbell and Gam Productions. He contracted to Island Records and Chrysalis as a producer and remixer,  plus was commissioned to write the score for Macbeth that ran at 2 Way Mirror at Alexander Palace for the Cambridge Shakespeare Company. His ongoing development of Samplecraze has led to him offering educational workshops and classes, releasing four books via PC Publishing and becoming a contributor and forum moderator for Sound On Sound. Recently he has established The Audio Production Hub for online education and been invited by the Recording Academy to become a Grammy judge.https://eddiebazil.co.uk/https://samplecraze.com/Catch more shows on our other podcast channels: https://www.soundonsound.com/sos-podcasts

Recibimos un invitado especial, Juan José Losa, que ya nos ha visitado varias veces y que nos guiará por una época y fenómeno muy especial en la historia del rock. Si en ocasiones anteriores nos deteníamos en periodos clave de la historia de la música, hoy vamos a hacer lo propio con otra época y estilo que, si bien no han tenido demasiado protagonismo en los casi 200 capítulos de El Escondite, hoy hacemos justicia a una vertiente de la música que surge a finales de los 70 y de los 80 y que ha trascendido todas las décadas hasta nuestros días. Hablamos del synth pop, nombre con el que se le conoció en Gran Bretaña, su lugar de origen, llamado también, en nuestro país y en otros, techno pop, o simplemente “techno”. Hoy recorremos esa escena que más tarde daría origen al “house”, al “dance” y en general a las futuras músicas de baile electrónicas. Nos acompañan: KRAFTWERK - Das Modell - Die Mensch-Machine SILICON TEENS - Memphis Tennessee - Music for Parties GARY NUMAN – Cars - The Pleasure Principle BUGGLES - Clean Clean - The Age of Plastic VISAGE - Fade to Grey - Visage SOFT CELL - Tainted Love - Non Stop Erotic Cabaret OMD - Enola Gay - Organisation THE HUMAN LEAGUE - Don´t You Want Me - Dare!

Gary Kemp is clearly a busy man. He's got his podcast, The Rockonteurs, with fellow musician Guy Pratt, his tour with Nick Mason's (Pink Floyd) band Saucerful of Secrets, and acting with his brother Martin Kemp in their most recent mockumentary, The Kemps: All Gold.  He's also added a new album to his discography, This Destination. The album finds Gary in a reflective mood, looking back on life with his family and band mates. Does this mean he wants to reform his 80s band, Spandau Ballet? We talk about it all as Gary joins us on What Difference Does It Make?: A (Mostly) 80s Music Podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

He's got his podcast, The Rockonteurs, with fellow musician Guy Pratt, his tour with Nick Mason's (Pink Floyd) band Saucerful of Secrets, and acting with his brother Martin Kemp in their most recent mockumentary, The Kemps: All Gold.  He's also added a new album to his discography, This Destination. The album finds Gary in a reflective mood, looking back on life with his family and band mates. Does this mean he wants to reform his 80s band, Spandau Ballet? We talk about it all as Gary joins us on What Difference Does It Make?: A (Mostly) 80s Music Podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

Songwriter, musician and actor, best known as a heartthrob in one of the biggest bands of the 1980s, Gary Kemp joins Grace for a brand new helping of Comfort Eating. Longtime Spandau Ballet fan Grace hears about the good old days: how Gary poured a tin of golden syrup over baby brother Martin Kemp's head; how there were eels for dinner kept alive in his nan's sink; and how hot fish and chips in their wrapper warped his first beloved T Rex record. Gary opens up about how he defiantly started eating meat again after his very public split from actor Sadie Frost, how his film career took him to Hollywood to act alongside Whitney Houston, who worked the catering tent nicely, and unwanted perishable gifts from affectionate fans at the height of Spandau Ballet fame

Pat welcomes Spandau Ballet songwriter and guitarist Gary Kemp to the "Zoom Room" to promote his 3rd solo album "This Destination."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Gary is best known as one of the founding members and main songwriter of Spandau Ballet. They recorded seven studio albums and scored major hits with songs such as True, Gold, Lifeline, Only When You Leave, and Communication to name a few. Gary currently is the lead guitarist from Pink Floyd's Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets, as well as the co-host of the popular podcast, Rockonteurs. He recently released a solo album, This Destination. 

Early Life & Musical BeginningsGary Kempwas born in London, where his passion for music and performing arts took shape early. Raised in Islington, he attended Anna Scher's acting school alongside his younger brother Martin Kemp. Though acting was an early focus, music soon became his true calling. Influenced by the glam rock and punk movements of the ‘70s, Kemp sought to create a new sound, ultimately leading to the formation ofSpandau Ballet in 1978.As theprimary songwriter for Spandau Ballet, Gary Kemp was responsible for some of the most iconic hits of the1980s New Romantic era. The band first gained attention in the London club scene, aligning with the movement's stylish aesthetic. Their breakthrough came with"To Cut a Long Story Short", followed by global hits like"True","Gold", and"Through the Barricades." Kemp's songwriting, blendingsoulful melodies, romantic lyricism, and synth-driven soundscapes, defined an era.Spandau Ballet's success was meteoric, earningmulti-platinum sales, Brit Awards, and worldwide tours. However, internal tensions led to their breakup in 1990. A high-profile legal battle followed, as bandmates attempted to claim songwriting royalties, but the court ruled in Kemp's favor as the sole composer.Following Spandau Ballet's split, Gary Kemp transitioned into acting. His most notable role wasplaying Reggie Kray alongside his brother Martin in the acclaimed gangster biopicThe Krays (1990). He also appeared in major films such asThe Bodyguard (1992) with Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston andKilling Zoe (1993).Though acting remained part of his career, Kemp never abandoned music. He continued writing and exploring new creative directions.In 1995, Gary Kemp released his debut solo album,Little Bruises, showcasing a more introspective, acoustic-driven sound. Though it didn't match Spandau Ballet's chart-topping success, it revealed a different side of his artistry.After years of silence on the solo front, Kemp made a powerful return withINSOLO (2021), an ambitious and deeply personal album exploring themes of fame, identity, and self-reflection. Tracks like"Ahead of the Game" and"Too Much" reaffirmed hissongwriting prowess and sophisticated musicianship.In2025, Kemp releasedFinal Destination, his most introspective work yet. The album reflects on hisstruggles with mental health, the impact of the pandemic, and personal loss. Having suffered fromanxiety and depression post-pandemic, Kemp has openly discussed how the experience reshaped his perspective on life, revealing that he now avoids watching the news to protect his well-being.Despite their past conflicts, Spandau Ballet reunited forsuccessful tours in 2009 and 2015, thrilling fans worldwide. However, tensions resurfaced, and lead singerTony Hadley permanently exited in 2017, leaving the band in limbo. While Spandau Ballet's future remains uncertain, Kemp continues tohonor their legacy through hislive performances, storytelling, and collaborations.Beyond performing, Gary Kemp is arespected voice in music history. He co-hosts the popular podcastRockonteurs with Pink Floyd's Guy Pratt, where they interview rock and pop legends, discussing the untold stories of the music industry. His deep knowledge and engaging storytelling make him an authority in British pop culture.FromSpandau Ballet's chart-topping success to hisacting career, solo albums, and podcasting ventures, Gary Kemp remains a truemusic icon. His ability toevolve, adapt, and create timeless music has solidified his legacy as one of Britain's most influential songwriters. WithFinal Destination, Kemp proves that hiscreative journey is far from over.#garykemp #SpandauBallet #80sMusic#NewRomantic #BritishPop #Rockonteurs#TrueSpandauBallet #GoldSpandauBallet#SynthPop #80sIcons #MusicLegends#ClassicHits #PopRock #MusicPodcast #BehindTheMusic

 Gary Kemp has been posting reels of his recent visits to old haunts in Soho where he and his early bands used to rehearse, this in the run-up to releasing a third solo album, ‘This Destination', in January.

Which includes … … “all media is now about getting and keeping people's attention”. … the first time he heard one of his songs on the radio. … Bowie, Bolan, Queen and Elton John at Trident Studios. … how bands copy the groove of a track. … technology and the curse of too much choice. … why TikTok's changed the way songs are written. … how the first Spandau Ballet album was made. … the phone call from Richard Hawley that kick-started a song. … the craft of 10cc and Steely Dan and why it doesn't work on 2024 radio. … the male attitude to bands who are largely followed by women. … cunning ways to infiltrate the NME in the early ‘80s. … plus Robert Elms in jodhpurs and “fly dentists” in the Saucerful Of Secrets audience.   Pre-order This Destination here:https://lnk.to/GaryKempThisDestinationFind 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.

Paulo relives a childhood Castle Grayskull nightmare and makes a Freudian slip that would give He-Man and Fisto a very profitable Only Fans account. Status Quo locking Spandau Ballet in the bathroom, Bananarama don't need town cars, a very thirsty Boy George and Bono's villain origin story, we find out how they made the original Band Aid - and yes, we do swoon over George Michael, his beautiful voice and very symmetrical black and white shirt. ELTON JOHN IS BLIND - for now, but he's getting better, a little click bait never hurt anyone. Dori does a live unboxing and finds a sheep dressed in sheeps clothing. Paulo found a movie staring Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett that featured a lot of nudity. And only 10% of it was Farrah Fawcett.

By his 20s he was working as a sound designer for Akai, Roland Emu/Ensoniq, eventually signing on exclusively with the latter. Later, due to a growing demand for software instruments and libraries, Eddie started to develop libraries for various software manufacturers, including Native Instruments, Kiesel, Sound Effects Library, Arturia and Propellerheads. A meeting with Phil Allen, a Capital Radio DJ, resulted in the company Samplecraze, which Eddie has spent 20 years developing as an educational resource. At this time he trained in music production and soon gained a number of prominent contracts working with some notable artistes such as Busta Rhymes, Greensleeves, 9 Bar, SFP, Sleeveless, Chris Campbell and Gam Productions. He contracted to Island Records and Chrysalis as a producer and remixer,  plus was commissioned to write the score for Macbeth that ran at 2 Way Mirror at Alexander Palace for the Cambridge Shakespeare Company. His ongoing development of Samplecraze has led to him offering educational workshops and classes, releasing four books via PC Publishing and becoming a contributor and forum moderator for Sound On Sound. Recently he has established The Audio Production Hub for online education and been invited by the Recording Academy to become a Grammy judge.https://eddiebazil.co.uk/https://samplecraze.com/Catch more shows on our other podcast channels: https://www.soundonsound.com/sos-podcasts Get a print or digital subscription to Sound On Sound magazine.

In this episode — recorded on the somewhat sombre Wednesday after the U.S. elections — we welcome the wonderful Beverley Glick to our Hammersmith lair and ask her about her New Romantic nom de plume Betty Page. Beverley tells us about her early days on Sounds, where she started out as editor Alan Lewis' secretary, and talks us through her seminal 1980 encounters with Spandau Ballet and Steve Strange. Her subsequent early interview with Duran Duran leads us to clips from David Keeps' 1993 audio interview with the Brummie band's frontman Simon Le Bon. After touching briefly on Depeche Mode, whom Beverley also interviewed very early on, our guest revisits the short-lived Noise! — Sounds' very own attempt at "doing" a Smash Hits — and recounts her subsequent path to the editorship of the rather longer-standing Record Mirror. Memories of mad moments with Happy Mondays (for Vox), and Beverley's eventual graduation to national newspapers, take us to her decision to forsake journalism for a career as a life coach specialising in "leadership communication" — and as the author of this year's In Your Own Words. A few glum thoughts on the political distortion of words such as "freedom" segue into our homage to the brilliant and outrageous Quincy Jones. Mark then quotes from newly-added library pieces about the Who (1965) and Ronnie Scott (1979)... and Jasper wraps up the episode with his thoughts on articles about "Brazilian Prince" Ed Motta (2006) and Tricky's magnificent Maxinquaye (2023). Many thanks to special guest Beverley Glick. For more Beverley, including info on her books and coaching, visit beverleyglick.com.

By his 20s he was working as a sound designer for Akai, Roland Emu/Ensoniq, eventually signing on exclusively with the latter. Later, due to a growing demand for software instruments and libraries, Eddie started to develop libraries for various software manufacturers, including Native Instruments, Kiesel, Sound Effects Library, Arturia and Propellerheads. A meeting with Phil Allen, a Capital Radio DJ, resulted in the company Samplecraze, which Eddie has spent 20 years developing as an educational resource. At this time he trained in music production and soon gained a number of prominent contracts working with some notable artistes such as Busta Rhymes, Greensleeves, 9 Bar, SFP, Sleeveless, Chris Campbell and Gam Productions. He contracted to Island Records and Chrysalis as a producer and remixer,  plus was commissioned to write the score for Macbeth that ran at 2 Way Mirror at Alexander Palace for the Cambridge Shakespeare Company. His ongoing development of Samplecraze has led to him offering educational workshops and classes, releasing four books via PC Publishing and becoming a contributor and forum moderator for Sound On Sound. Recently he has established The Audio Production Hub for online education and been invited by the Recording Academy to become a Grammy judge.https://eddiebazil.co.uk/https://samplecraze.com/
