Guy Chambers was a teenager in Liverpool and at John Lennon’s old school - "same headmaster, Mister Pobjoy". He remembers the Beatles, Queen, Abba and Jesus Christ Superstar sparking his interest in the "perfect song package" and went on to work with Tina Turner, Rufus Wainwright, Kylie, Diana Ross and scores of others. He talks here about early shows he saw, records bought and his own tour in the autumn, "An Evening With Guy Chambers", stopping off at various points on the way, among them ...
... how YOU can write a song with him.
... Bowie's reaction on discovering he was third on the bill below George Michael and Robbie Williams at Netaid.
... seeing XTC and Generation X at the teen shows at Eric's.
... Benny Hill's Ernie, the Scaffold's Lily the Pink and other singles bought at Probe Records.
... "the great harmony bands" like the Eagles, Byrds and the Mamas & the Papas.
..."A Is For Banana", his song about dyslexia.
... writing a string quartet aged 11 and the magic of hearing four people bring his sheet music to life.
... "the wastage": composers who write 50 songs and throw 40 away.
.. the cinematic internal worlds of the Cocteau Twins and Lana Del Ray.
... the "subversive harmonies" on Strawberry Fields Forever and what makes Eleanor Rigby so perfect.
... everything that now needs to be in place to get a hit record.
... mass song-writing teams and how he can't operate with more than three people in the room.
... and what you can expect from his upcoming tour.
