Dave Ball was a prodigiously talented, warm-hearted & wonderful person to work with over the 7 years I've represented Soft Cell. It's been terribly sad to represent his passing, yet I have done my 'Not Dad' proud in getting the news everywhere

ICYMI....my very good friend, Phil King @junkshopper.bsky.social, has been involved in a compilation album. 'All The Young Droids: Junkshop Synth pop 1978-1985' is a new 2LP/2CD compilation that charts the underbelly of the epoch-defining sound of the synthesiser in 80s popular music. More info: -
"..This is the way the ‘70s ended : not with a blood-curdling bang but with a cheap, synthesized, emasculating whimper.”
NICK KENT, NME."
'All The Young Droids - Junkshop Synth-Pop 1978-1985' 24 synth pop tunes that aimed for outer space - but crash landed in the bargain bins. Out June 26th 2025.
