Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are joined by new wave synth-pop 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 latest album.
