Such A Good Feeling with Steve Anderson

For this episode I'm joined by my partner in 80s Classical , Cliff Masterson and we are so lucky to welcome the multi talented musical genius and legend , Nik Kershaw. He was one of the very first people to say 'yes' when we started the project and for us as kids that owned all of his 7 inch singles (and a few 12 inch versions too) it was such a dream come true. Here he talks about the sliding doors moments that led him to release his first two albums in the same year and landed him on the stage at Live Aid. Plus the incredible story about the first song he wrote for someone else which just happened to be the multi million selling "The One And Only" by Chesney Hawkes. We adore this man and I know you will too.

Once again I'm joined by Larry Flick (Vero) and Lee Bennett (Teases And Dares) to pick our favourite 5 songs of what has turned out to be a truly incredible year for new music. Hopefully some of your favourites will be in there and you might discover some new gems for your playlists too.

It seemed very timely to be talking to the brilliant Iain James as he was a co-writer of the Christmas classic "One More Sleep" by Leona Lewis which has just been awarded the most streamed Christmas song of the 21st Century! So we talk about that as well as being part of the writing process for some absolute gems including "Shout Out To My Ex' for Little Mix , "Read All About It" by Professor Green and Emile Sande and songs with Craig David, Kylie , James Morrison ,Sugababes and more. He also gives some superb advice for new songwriters on how to get noticed and talks about his time as vocal coach for The X Factor and how his time in boyband Triple 8 helped him prepare the future stars of it including One Direction.

I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did and please discover more episodes if you have time. Thanks so much for listening and a very Merry Christmas 🎄

After the perplexing success of last years look back through Dave Seaman's Filofax prompting our somewhat distant recollections of what we actually did in the studio that year we decided to go back in time again. 1995 was such an incredible year for us including the release of Take Thats" Nobody Else" album and "Never Forget" single and some of our favourite remixes ever including "Where Is The Feeling" by Kylie and "Your Loving Arms" by Billie Ray Martin. In amidst this we also discovered that Dave had his kitchen done. So if you feel this is the sort of thing you might enjoy then here we are , I can't apologise enough but from the amount of listeners to last year it appears some people seem to enjoy it. Thanks for listening and please discover other episodes all streaming now.

Paul Whalley is partly responsible for not only the best album of the year but one of the best of the decade, in my opinion with Grace Davies . From starting out as a studio assistant he’s spent the last 10 years crafting a production and writing style that is so beautifully refreshing and blisteringly brave working with new and established artists I simply had to chat to him about everything that has got him this far and some handy tips for the creative process.

Anya Jones epitomises the reason for this podcast in that she is one of the only people I know to successfully make the transition from A&R where at Syco she was instrumental in  up 120 Million sales including for Little Mix, Susan Boyle and Ella Henderson to a world class songwriter currently enjoying success with Kylie, Birdy. Dylan, Benjamin Ingrosso , Tom Grennan and Rita Ora amongst others . Her emotional connection to music is one of many reasons why I've always adored her and you'll hear it so many examples of it throughout this wonderful episode.
