Birmingham
is full of unsung heroes and interesting
folk, each with their own stories that help
shape the history to this great city. Armed
with little more than a portable recorder
and his scooter, Martin Mullaney
travels the suburbs inteviewing its residents.
Andy Wickett Interview This episode sees Martin
chat with local music supremo Andy
Wickett.
Noted for writing one of Duran Duran's
most famous songs 'Girls on Film'
and then selling it to their management
for a measly £600. He spills the beans
on working with the band just before their
big break and how he trained Simon
Le Bon to sing the songs. Don't
miss it!!!
Bob Lamb Interview
Bob Lamb
is a Birmingham music icon.
Instrumental to the careers of UB40
and Duran Duran, he started
a recording studio in his bed-sit in Moseley,
now a newly refurbished property.
Affectionately known as the 'Home
of the Hits', 68 Cambridge Road is
where the recordings of UB40
and early Duran Duran were
made.
In this fascinating insight, Bob
talks to Mullaney about the
early days of his recording and music producing
career.
