www.uncut.co.uk/features/sof... Pleased to see that @uncutmagazine.bsky.social have shared my 2018 interview with Dave & Marc. One of the very greatest British pop groups. 🙌
Soft Cell: “I suppose you could say it was a strange career path. But there were some amusing moments…”
Soft Cell's Marc Almond and Dave Ball confess all: “It was sex, drugs and electronic rock’n’roll!”

"Baroque pop trequartista" is a description I can live with.
