Marc Almond

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are joined by synth-pop and new wave singer-songwriter Marc Almond.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie with all the best musical bits of cheese and pineapple on sticks from the 6Music running buffet. Joining them today: synthpop New Wave singer-songwriter Marc Almond. He began his musical career in the early 80s with David Ball in Leeds-based synthpop band Soft Cell (one of their biggest hits being a cover of the Northern Soul stomper Tainted Love), and has since had a long and varied career as a solo artist. He's collaborated with Gene Pitney (with their Number 1 hit single Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart) as well as Antony Hegarty, Tony Visconti, Nico, Siouxsie Sioux - and has ventured in almost every musical genre from Russian folk to techno. He's sold over 30 millions records worldwide and is here to talk about his career so far.

Plus you could possibly gain major office prowess by guessing the link between the 3 tracks in Teatime Themetime or try your chances on The Chain, where you yes YOU might even get your voice on the actual 6 Music DABwaves!
