Top Of The Pops: With Thanks To Brian McCloskey

I was surprised and delighted by the news that my name appeared on the end credits of The Story Of 1983, shown on BBC4 today.

I can't see the programme in the USA, but viewers in the UK can watch it here for the next month. Enjoy!

Voices Of Santa Monica: Brian McCloskey

In 2012 I was interviewed on Santa Monica City TV as part of a series of programmes made by local high school students, during the course of which I talked about growing up in Ireland, moving to the USA, wearing dresses and the origins of this Smash Hits archive; that part of the interview can be seen in this clip....just before we ran out of time....

Watch Part 1 of the interview here.

Watch Part 2 of the interview here.
