Rejoignez-nous aujourd'hui dans les coulisses de l'émission 'La Partition' où nous plongeons dans l'histoire fascinante du groupe français Les Innocents. Ce quatuor a réussi à marier avec brio la chanson française et l'esprit anglo-saxon, redéfinissant ainsi la pop française dans les années 80.Nos invités, Ombline Roche et Jean-Philippe Nataf, le chanteur et guitariste du groupe, nous embarquent dans un voyage passionnant à travers les débuts du groupe. Fraîchement immergé dans le milieu punk parisien, JP Nataf fonde Les Privés, un groupe qui navigue entre les squats et les petites salles de concert. Mais c'est en 1982, avec un clin d'œil au groupe The Clash, que le quatuor décide de se rebaptiser Les Innocents.Malgré les débuts difficiles et l'insouciance de l'époque, les Innocents persévèrent. Ils font le Tour de France en voiture, le matériel dans le coffre, à une époque où le téléphone n'était pas encore un outil indispensable. Mais leur style unique, mélange de pop anglaise et de new wave à la française, plaît aux musiciens et producteurs. Après avoir signé chez Virgin en 1987, leur deuxième album 'Foylier' les propulse enfin sur le devant de la scène. Chaque chanson de cet album est un véritable travail d'orfèvre, fruit de la complémentarité des talents de JP Nataf et Jean-Christophe Urbain. Les singles envahissent alors les ondes radio, faisant des Innocents l'un des groupes phares de la pop française des années 90.Rejoignez-nous pour découvrir les secrets de création de ce groupe culte, qui a su marquer son époque et laisser une empreinte indélébile dans l'histoire de la musique française.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 2ú lá de mí Aibreán, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1976 bhí an ECC ag iarradh caith amach ball nach raibh ag déanamh an rud ceart. I 1993 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh an GAA ag smaoineamh ar cead a thabhairt chuig cluichí rugbaí a imir I bPáirc an Chrócaigh. Dúradh go raibh siad ag smaoineamh ar de bharr go mbeidís ábalta níos mó airgead a fháil don fhorbairt ar an staid. I 2011 ainmníodh Liam Sheedy mar dhuine den bhliain don chontae. Bhí é féin agus an lucht bainistíochta go hiontach I 2010 d'iománaíocht. I 2014 fuair bean darbh ainm Kerrie O'Connor gléas ina ghairdín nuair a bhí sí ag glanadh suas. Chuaigh an scuad diúscartha buamaí chuici agus dúirt siad go raibh an ghránáid ón Chéad Chogadh Domhanda. Sin Brotherhood of Man le Save Your Kisses For Me – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo i 1976. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1977 chuaigh Fleetwood Mac chuig barr na cairteacha lena albam Rumours. Bhí amhráin ar an albam cosúil le Go Your Own Way, Dreams, Don't Stop agus You Make Loving Fun. Bhí sé an t-albam is mó a chuir Fleetwood Mac amach agus bhí sé sna cairteacha ar feadh 20 bhliain I Meiriceá agus dhíol siad níos mó ná 40 milliúin cóip timpeall an domhain. I 2001 shínigh Mariah Carey margadh iontach le Virgin Records do 3 albam leis an luach nach mór 100 milliúin dollar. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Marvin Gaye I Meiriceá I 1939 agus rugadh amhránaí Zach Bryan I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1996 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 2nd of April, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh In 1976 The ECC was on the verge of putting the economic boot in against members stepping out of line In 1993 The GAA considered allowing rugby to be played at Croke park as part of its plans to secure millions of pounds of state funding for the development of the stadium. In 2011 - Liam Sheedy, the retired Tipperary senior hurling manager, was named Tipperary Association Dublin's choice for Tipperary Person of the year, The Portroe man along with his excellent management team led Tipperary to the holy grail of hurling in 2010 In 2014 - Kerrie O'Connor was tending her garden in Rathurles when she came across the device, prompting her to alert local gardaí. Members of the Army Bomb Disposal Team were called, the grenade dated back to around the time of World War I. That was Brotherhood of Man with Save Your Kisses For Me – the biggest song on this day in 1976. Onto music news on this day in1977, Fleetwood Mac topped the Billboard 200 with their 11th studio album, Rumours. Featuring such enduring Top Ten hits as “Go Your Own Way,” “Dreams,” “Don't Stop,” and “You Make Loving Fun,” the Grammy-winning album would become the band's most successful release, eventually spending more than 20 non-consecutive years on the US chart and selling more than 40 million copies worldwide.

Marketing Must Make People Believe, Not Just BuyThe Journey from Content to ConversionAkhil Almeida shares his remarkable journey from Virgin Records to becoming Head of Marketing at Bandhan Life Insurance. With over two decades of experience across music, market research, and financial services, Akhil reveals his core marketing philosophy: "Marketing isn't about selling. It's about making people believe." Tracing his pioneering work in predictive content intelligence at Kantar and E-commerce research panels tracking 60,000 online shoppers, Akhil demonstrates how understanding consumer behavior at a deep level is the foundation for building brands people genuinely care about.Beyond Data: Creating Meaningful Marketing StrategiesAkhil identifies three critical skills modern marketers must master: 1. Pattern recognition to spot cultural shifts before they go mainstream2. Agility to pivot quickly when playbooks become outdated 3. Commercial acumen to articulate ROI to leadershipUsing his experience transforming Bandhan Life Insurance, he illustrates how focusing on underserved segments like self-employed individuals (60% of India's workforce) created strategic advantage in a crowded market. Perhaps most valuably, Akhil emphasizes the crucial distinction between data and insight: "Data tells you what people do, insight tells you why they're doing it. Data without interpretation is just noise." Through practical examples of landing page optimization and brand-agency partnerships, he demonstrates how cultivating insight as a daily ritual ultimately drives marketing that shapes behavior, builds habits, and creates long-term brand value.⁠For Show Notes, Selected Links and ResourcesSubscribe to our weekly newsletterAbout Akhil AlmeidaAkhil Almeida, now the Head of Marketing of Bandhan Life, is a dynamic leader with over two decades of experience in marketing, specializing in brand building, digital strategies, and consumer insights.

We've arrived for a big one! We're going back to the 90s when the Spice Girls formed to recount their journey. This is part one of a two part special. The Spice Girls' journey began on March 4, 1994, when 400 hopefuls answered an ad to form a girl group. Over time, the group's lineup evolved, culminating in the iconic quintet: Mel B, Mel C, Victoria, Geri, and Emma. Early rehearsals, demos, and auditions set the stage for their rise, though challenges like lineup changes and disagreements with management revealed their determination to chart their own path. As they found their footing, the Spice Girls staged a daring escape from management control, reclaiming their music and signing with Simon Fuller. His strategic moves, including their electrifying showcase at Virgin Records, propelled them into the public eye. Industry insiders couldn't resist the charisma and energy of these five women, leading to a competitive bidding war that secured their record deal and launched their debut single, Wannabe. The making of Wannabe reflected the Spice Girls' quirky creativity and tenacity, with their patchwork approach to songwriting and their insistence on perfection during production. Despite initial doubts, the track became a global sensation, marking the start of “Spicemania.” By the end of 1996, the group's infectious energy, chart-topping hits, and bold personalities had captured the hearts of fans and critics alike. Integral to their success was the concept of “girl power,” a rallying cry for individuality, empowerment, and camaraderie. The term, championed by Geri Halliwell, struck a chord with audiences worldwide, offering a spirited counterpoint to the male-dominated pop culture of the time. This ethos cemented the Spice Girls as more than a band—they became a cultural phenomenon. As the decade closed, the Spice Girls had achieved unprecedented global success. From record-breaking album sales to unforgettable moments like Geri's Union Jack dress at the Brit Awards, they dominated the music and fashion landscapes. With Spiceworld: The Movie on the horizon, the Spice Girls' meteoric rise was far from over—proving they weren't just a pop group but a pop culture revolution.

Welcome to our podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops. This is a great way to do things as we are not choosing who to read about. We may not be fans of the person, we may never have heard of the person and we never know who we are going to find next...There are only 2 rules to this podcast. The book has to be found in a thrift shop and we are not allowed to talk about the book until we press record, which is sometimes agonising.We have lots of episodes coming up so if you find yourself enjoying our podcast, please be sure to subscribe to be among the first to hear about each episode.Support the Show.

In 1989, very few Americans had heard the extraordinary voice of the man destined to be named “Best African Artists of the 20th Century.” Senegal's Youssou N'Dour and his juggernaut mbalax band Le Super Etoile had played at The Ritz in New York three years earlier, and had recently been signed to Virgin Records. N'Dour's own star was undoubtedly on the rise. But for many, this was an introduction to a whole new wave of West African popular music. Afropop Worldwide was on hand to record the show, and this program takes us back to the time when N'Dour was still firmly rooted in the mbalax tradition, his famed experiments with international styles just beginning.

So when her friends in the band The New Rising Sons were on the verge of having all their dreams come true, she was there to chronicle it.

Martha and the Muffins is a Canadian new wave band formed in Toronto in 1977. Known for their eclectic sound that blends post-punk, art rock, and new wave influences, the band achieved international success with their hit single "Echo Beach" in 1980. Martha and the Muffins was formed by two art students, Martha Johnson and Mark Gane, at the Ontario College of Art. They were soon joined by David Millar, Carl Finkle, Mark Gane's brother Tim Gane, and Martha Ladly. The band name was chosen as a playful jab at the plethora of "The Something-something" band names at the time. The group quickly became a staple in the Toronto music scene, known for their quirky and innovative performances. Their unique sound combined elements of punk, rock, and electronic music, setting them apart from their contemporaries. In 1979, Martha and the Muffins signed with the British label Dindisc, a subsidiary of Virgin Records. Their debut album, "Metro Music," was released in 1980 and included the single "Echo Beach." The song became an international hit, reaching the top 10 in Canada, the UK, and several other countries. Its catchy melody and wistful lyrics captured the imagination of a generation and remain iconic to this day. The success of "Echo Beach" propelled the band into the spotlight. However, they faced challenges in maintaining their momentum. Their second album, "Trance and Dance" (1980), and third album, "This is the Ice Age" (1981), saw significant lineup changes. In 1982, the band released "Danseparc," another collaboration with new member, Daniel Lanois. The album further showcased their willingness to experiment with different sounds and production techniques. By the mid-1980s, Martha and the Muffins underwent a significant transformation, with Mark Gane and Martha Johnson remaining the core members. They released "Mystery Walk" in 1984, which included the Canadian hit "Black Stations/White Stations," a song that tackled issues of racial segregation in the music industry. Following the release of their 1985 album "The World is a Ball," Martha and the Muffins took a hiatus. During this period, Johnson and Gane focused on solo projects and other collaborations. Johnson released a solo album, "Solo One," in 1997, while Gane worked on various production and music projects. In the early 1990s, Martha and the Muffins reformed, primarily as a duo consisting of Johnson and Gane. They released "Modern Lullaby" in 1992, which was well-received by critics but did not achieve significant commercial success. After another extended hiatus, the band re-emerged in 2010 with the album "Delicate," which marked a return to their roots while incorporating modern influences. This period also saw renewed interest in their earlier work, with reissues and retrospective collections. Martha Johnson was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2001. She has been open about her battle and has faced significant challenges due to the progressive nature of the disease. Martha's diagnosis came after she began experiencing symptoms that interfered with her ability to perform and record music. The diagnosis was a significant moment for her, marking the beginning of a long journey to manage the condition while continuing her career in music. Despite the challenges, Martha has shown remarkable resilience. She has become an advocate for Parkinson's disease awareness, using her platform to educate others about the condition. Her advocacy includes speaking engagements and participating in events aimed at raising funds for research and support for those affected by the disease. She has not let Parkinson's disease define her or halt her creativity. Martha continues to be involved in music and is an inspiration to many. Martha has just released a new single to enhance awareness of PD and this week shares her personal reflections on music and living with Parkinson's disease. Her story is one of courage, persistence, and the power of music to transcend personal hardships.

"What has gone wrong on a major scale that human beings aren't relishing life?" Brothers & sisters, are you ready for that FIRE energy?! Today I'm speaking with Chrissie Fire Mane. Co-Founder of MANA, Chrissie has always been guided by the excitement of empowering people to be creators. Named 'chaqaruna' or Bridge-Person by the Q'ero, Wisdom Keepers of the Andes, Chrissie's north star is activating and rewilding humanity with modern and indigenous wisdom, reminding people of what is already inside but forgotten or suppressed. Chrissie has been facilitating transformational weekends, workshops and retreats around the world intensively since 2012, moving online also in 2017. The journey of motherhood has greatly shaped Chrissie's path, raising her two wild children travelling the world and sitting in sacred ceremonies, learning from elders. She has roots in activism, beginning at Greenpeace in the Press Office in the UK in 2000, combining her passions for communications with service, has launched numerous campaigns in frontline activism mainly in water conservation and more recently served on the New Earth Council as part of the Humanitad Foundation. As an artist, Chrissie was signed to Virgin Records, has toured and created albums and continues to use her love of poetry, singing and frequency to complement her style of leadership. Her spiritual path led her to the Peruvian Andes in 2012 where she was initiated as Chullu Chaqera, or Sweat Lodge Mama Qona in 2017. Simply, Chrissie draws from conscious motherhood and indigenous tradition to inspire her community back to the natural truth of things. I'm in awe of the polarity of Chrissie's being, the open-heartedness AND stability, power and discernment that she brings into the world. Let me know how this co-creation lands with you. I love that you're here.

Looking back, the early seventies can seem like a strange time musically in the UK and perhaps nowhere more so than Merseyside.  The NEXT BIG THING that we were all waiting for following the break-up of The Beatles hadn't emerged and a wide range of musical styles proliferated in the local pub and club scene.For a few years before 1977, Supercharge and Deaf School were leading the pack of bands tipped for bigger things. The former, led by the charismatic saxophonist Albie Donnelly played to packed audiences everywhere - their blues/rock/funk fusion going down well with club and college audiences. Signed by Virgin Records they had hit albums and singles in Australia and famously supported Queen at Hyde Park in front of an estimated 150-200,00 people.  The band's on-stage humour and antics were also a huge hit with audiences as anyone who saw them live will testify. Albie Donnelly's Supercharge is still going great guns in Germany and Holland and the 77 year old scouser has lost none of his passion for music or his wit, as Ian Prowse and Mick Ord discovered when they met up with him in the Liverpool Podcafe for the latest , unforgettable Misadventures in Music.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus hit the national stage right in the pocket of time where the mainstream was taking notice of what our scene was up to. This was partially due to the unique character of Ronnie Winter, who was able to break in and ride that wave and create opportunity for himself in a way that maybe only he could. Their debut album “Don't You Fake It” released in the summer of 2006 on Virgin Records and was certified gold by November of that same year. That meteoric rise brought along with it all that you could imagine of both positive and negative experiences. In this conversation, Ronnie does a great job of both seeing all the forces at play and owning his own part in it all.
