We’ve been obsessed with the new Wham! documentary on Netflix, so we decided that this week’s dive into our cellar should feature two seminal figures from that period: it’s Shirlie and Martin Kemp!
Their connection to George Michael is deeper than you might think - Shirlie remembers bringing George Michael as a wingman to her first date with Martin! They chat about that, how life’s unexpected things are often the most challenging and rewarding and recording music together!
