Nick Heyward first saw XTC at the Croydon Greyhound in 1978, two days after the release of White Music. The Haircut 100 frontman has been a fan ever since.

Thomas Walsh has written with Andy Partridge and collaborated with Dave Gregory. He also appeared on Colin Moulding's Say It.

The two musicians talk about meeting their heroes, the collaborations that nearly happened and those that might happen yet...

Mark Fisher and Kevin Birt ask the questions. Florrie Thomas gives the drink recommendation.
