Before you listen to this BBC podcast, I'd like to introduce myself.

My name's Stevie Middleton and I'm a BBC Commissioner for a Load of Sport Podcasts.

I'm lucky to do that at the BBC because I get to work with a leading journalist, experienced

pundits and the biggest sport stars.

Together we bring you untold stories and fascinating insights straight from the players'

mouths.

But the best thing about doing this at the BBC is our unique access to the sport in world.

What that means is that we can bring you podcasts that create a real connection to

dedicated sports fans across the UK.

So if you like this podcast, head over to BBC Sounds where you'll find plenty more.

Hello, thank you so much for downloading this episode of Midnight Mates.

It's another music episode and it's with somebody who I absolutely adored growing up.

When I was young, buying the circus, then going to gigs and dancing my heart out into this day,

I'm on a dance floor every time I hear a razor.

Prolific, by the way, over 25 million sold, album sold worldwide and just fantastic,

that relationship between Vince Clark and our very, very special guest.

This Midnight Mates is Andy Bell of a razor.

I've been waiting for a long time, you sometimes, the truth is harder than the thing inside.

Yeah, oh, I move, close my heart and now I'll make it for you.

I'm building a wall, every day it's getting higher, this time I want to end up another big

day in my life, every day, through everything.

Andy Bell, welcome to the programme.
