'60s '70s '80s - Warm, Candid, Classic, Rock Interviews with Music Legends - A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

The Rubettes, Matt Bianco and Bryan Davies


Listen Later

Meet THE RUBETTES - Mick Clarke and John Richardson who founded the UK band in 1973. They were the definitive one-hit-wonder band that came together after they had that instant smash hit with 'Sugar Baby Love’. Somehow they are still at it today delighting the crowds wherever they play. But there’s so much more to these guys than what meets the eye. Find out about their unlikely path to success which has seen them both on top of the world and wondering where their next hit will come from.

Was MATT BIANCO's first album 'Whose Side Are You On' one of your faves? It left an indelible impression on me, perhaps because of its catch jazzy sound. Strange really that I've been under the impression for many years, that Matt Bianco was a man. (Were you too?) I'm embarrassed to say I only just learned that Matt Bianco is the group's name not the man's. The man is MARK REILLY and this week we go behind the band to meet the man who was, and still is, at the heart of that awesome trio. Enjoy!

If you've been around for a while (and have lived in Australia at some stage of the game) you may remember British born Australian singer and entertainer BRYAN DAVIES. He was the youngest person ever in the world to host his own evening TV variety show back in the ‘60s!. Thanks to a listener request, we catch up with Bryan this week to hear how he got the gig at the tender age of 17 and let Joy from Coffs Harbour in New South Wales, chat with the star she's idolised since her teens.

Would you like to request a guest too? If you have someone from the '60's '70's or '80s that you'd like to hear being interviewed (and maybe you'd like to say hi to them too!!) just send me a message either through the website www.abreathoffreshair.com.au or directly [email protected] I'd love to hear from you.

You can check out lots of additional information about our guests on the website www.abreathoffreshair.com.au and you can also take a look at the video interviews on my youtube page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa_p5zKTRrIfpAtwXVKBQVw
