The Passions - Episode 18 - Interview With David (Agar) Wardill

The Passions were a British-Irish post-punk/new wave band which formed in 1978 and disbanded in 1983. The Passions' music had Barbara Gogan's voice and Clive Timperley's guitar work. Their major chart hit, "I'm in Love with a German Film Star", was released as the band's fourth single on 23 January 1981The lyrics were written by Gogan about Steve Connelly, a one-time roadie for The Clash and Sex Pistols who had minor roles in several German films.

Todays Episode is an Interview with David Agar (Wardill) who played Bass in the band from 1980 - 1983 and tells us the real story behind the single, how the band got its name, how he was a part of Spandau Ballet (Not that one !) but his story about their name is a revelation. He also tells the story of the albums he made with them and how having a hit single impacted the band positively and negatively. Its ultimatley another story where the record company didnt have enough faith in the ban despite them selling 250,000 copies of their single in 3 days !. The Band worked with Producers Pete Wilson (The Jam), Nigel Gray (The Police) and Mick Glossop (The Skids). There are also stories of the 101'ers (Joe Strummers band before the Clash) and many others. I hope you enjoy the episode because you may not have heard of the band but I'm sure you will have heard their single but hopefully this episode shows they were much more than just a a "one hit wonder" as always happy to have your feedback.
