AFTER MORE THAN A QUARTER OF A CENTURY AWAY, SPANDAU BALLET’S SONGWRITER RESURRECTS HIS SOLO CAREER FOR A LONG-AWAITED SECOND OUTING
In the years since Gary Kemp released his debut solo album, 1995’s Little Bruises, couples have met, had children, sent them to school and packed them off to university.
Expectations, therefore, are high for the Spandau Ballet co-founder’s latest, especially since he’s recently suggested broader horizons than one might have anticipated by performing in Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets, the Pink Floyd drummer’s vehicle for his band’s early material.
