He mentioned: “My love of swing music started after I was very younger. The preparation for Sunday lunch was by no means with out the basic sounds of Sinatra, Bennett and lots of extra…
“Then years later, after we shaped our first band at college which ultimately would change into Spandau Ballet, I used to be reminded by my mother and father that though I cherished punk rock, if I used to be critical about pursuing a profession as knowledgeable singer, by no means to overlook the basic jazz vocalists. So there I used to be listening to the Intercourse Pistols and The Conflict alongside Tony Bennett and Jack Jones!”
