Speaker 1: twenties when I love Spandal Ballet have come true, he

Speaker 2: Now, Gary Camp, hello.

9
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: Here he is. Thank you for having me. It's nice

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 3: to have you on the Zoom catch up.

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: A thrilled to have you on the show. Years ago,

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: I used to see you every time you came to

13
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: Australia and I was a researcher on a television program

14
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: and I was so excited.

15
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: It was the Ray Martin Midday show.

16
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: You were coming on as guests and I was so

17
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: thrilled that finally my favorite band were going to be

18
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: on the show I was working on. And then I

19
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: had an outer body experience when I had to introduce

20
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: you to the host of the show. I couldn't remember

21
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: anyone's name, and I just to this day it's a

22
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: thing that wakes me up at three in the morning

23
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: with sweaty palms, and it was like my brain had

24
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: left my body.

25
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I have that problem with my kids. Now

26
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 4: I can't remember their names were mixed up with the dog.

27
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: But I know that I know that feeling.

28
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, oh God, I know their star signs,

29
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: I know everything about them, and now I can't remember

30
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: there now.

31
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 5: And you would have been in the drop zone, right

32
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 5: in the drop zone of the demographic of spanned out

33
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 5: ballet of the type and on that particular show, the

34
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 5: Greatest Entertier.

35
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: That's too young, jonesy. She moisturized.

36
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 5: But usually the entertainment on the show is some old

37
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 5: guy playing a vacuum clean.

38
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: That is, you were the studio booker. So to have

39
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: spanned Our Ballet, it would have been such a big,

40
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: such a thrill.

41
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about in solo. How has this come about?

42
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: Why now? What sort of things are tugging it you

43
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: to sing?

44
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 4: Well, I think I finally sort of said goodbye to

45
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 4: spand our Ballet in many ways. You know, I did

46
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 4: remember all their names when I said it, but I

47
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: think that was partly to do with me working with

48
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: Nick Mason from Pink Floyd. I've been doing his show

49
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: for the last three years. Nick Mason Source Full of Secrets,

50
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 4: which is you know, so I'm in a different world musically,

51
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 4: and I just I felt the urge that I needed

52
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: to write music for me. I'd constantly been putting music

53
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: away for whenever spanned our ballet decided to get back

54
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 4: together again, and suddenly I found myself writing lots of

55
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 4: lyrics that were, you know, about personal stuff, I guess,

56
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: and about who I am at my age and you know,

57
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 4: more behind me than in front of me. As we

58
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 4: all recognized, I didn't want to write you know, kids

59
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: songs anymore. Yeah, And I found myself building this album.

60
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 4: And then I was meant to be going on the

61
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 4: road with Nick touring Europe and and it got canceled

62
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 4: because of the pandemic. And so last year, I just

63
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 4: I just plowed on and I found myself working remotely

64
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 4: with lots of great musicians like Roger Taylor from Queen

65
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: and Guy Pratt and and and that seemed to work

66
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 4: and I and the enthusiasm to finish this album was

67
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 4: so it was really great for me because I didn't

68
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 4: know when the pandemic was going to finish and when

69
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 4: I was going to be back on the road.

70
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 3: And ahead of the game.

71
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 5: Was such a great song and I like, you've got

72
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 5: a nice little solo lead in there, Like it's good

73
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 5: to see a solo getting back in. I think we've

74
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 5: moved so far away with R and B and hip hop,

75
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 5: the guitar solo has been lost.

76
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: But it's a nice solo. Well, I think, you know,

77
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: I got a chance.

78
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 4: I get a chance with Nick Mason to really, you know,

79
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 4: push myself as a guitar player and feel that it's

80
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: much more part of my voice, part of my identity.

81
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: And you're right.

82
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 4: And with Fander, I was always thinking, oh, here comes

83
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: the sack solo. I better duck out, you.

84
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: Know, And so yeah, no, why not?

85
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: And I didn't think people were very happy about playing guitar,

86
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: But I think it's all about the melody. The melody

87
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 4: is strong and it's uplifting and Ahead of the Game

88
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 4: for me was just you know, I just fell upon

89
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: this song that I thought, why didn't I write that

90
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: forty years ago? You know, it would have been so

91
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 4: great for Spandau in those early days.

92
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: You're a very stylish man, and the clip for Ahead

93
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: of the Game beautiful stylish suit. What's some of the

94
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: most enjoyably unusual things you've worn throughout the years. We

95
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: all look back on those years and it was fun

96
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: to look so mental. But what's the ones you look

97
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: back and think that was areas?

98
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 4: You know, I never think any of it's hilarious. You know,

99
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 4: we didn't have filters, you know, we didn't have Instagram accounts,

100
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: you know that we could, you know, dress up. I

101
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 4: think we did one stupid shot once we're all wearing

102
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: loin cloth. But then at that age, we had good bodies, right.

103
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: Whose idea was it for the loin cloth? Did you

104
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: have your was that yours or I'd like to blame

105
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: the video director? Yeah, because hate me down when we

106
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 3: did that.

107
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 4: But you know, I think as kids, you know, and

108
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 4: I think everybody it wasn't just we were wearing mad

109
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 4: clothes because we were in a band. You know, you

110
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 4: walked around the streets of London in those days and

111
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: kids were pretty wild, you know, And I think that's

112
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: that I miss those days. My kids just wear like

113
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 4: they wear sports clothes. They look the same as me,

114
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 4: you know, I'm like, come on, I agree.

115
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: I had the flock of seagulls hairstyle, I had the

116
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: whole thing. And they were my formative dancing years. I

117
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: miss those days, I really do. Everyone's too conservative.

118
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: Now we'll bring back the loin cloth. Is that what

119
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: you say?

120
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm saying that a bunch.

121
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 5: Maybe the world is ready for a bunch of middle

122
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 5: aged people walking around in loan cloth and sax solos.

123
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 5: Bring back the sax solo? Yeah no, don't bring back

124
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 5: the sax. I want guitar, Yeah, Gary, say no more sax.

125
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 5: Gary Kev's brand new album in Solo is available today.
