Sa4 T SAYS on the album cover ' Full of vanities and passions, subtleties and subtitles'. Now with ' Kiss Me' already nestling cosily in the nation's heart, his first LP 'The Ups And Downs' looksI set to confirm Stephen Tin Tin Duffy as one of the Twentieth Century's leading romantic lights. It's an emotive record, a catalogue of love littered with personal pleasure and trauma, heart rending tales of doomed romance. So does love really conquer all? "That is the only point, there's nothing else. I've never done anything apart from go out and fall in love with people. I've never had ajob, I've just gone round making a fool of myself with women. I have this awful B- movie life style, courting people and romance. It's awful, terrible, you wouldn't believe it." To coincide with the release of the album, Duffy And Duffy ( the visual arts company Stephen runs with his brother Nick) mounted an exhibition of the artwork surounding the vinyl .output to date, in London's Covent Garden. As musicians today battle against allegations of hype and promotional wizardry, it's refreshing to d someone very much in charge of this whole campaign. As well as stills from the last video, there were illustrations ready for the Dr Calculus project with Roger Freeman, paintings and the excellent Neil Kirk photography which appears on the re- cord sleeves. The expressive use of models on these sleeves, rather than dragging in the odd girlfriend or three, and the forthcoming ' Glamour Business' LP seems like acontinuing link. What's the connection? "The pop world and the model's world are quite similar. They are very vacuous. Modele have about five years and that's it. It would have been the same if ' Kiss Me' hadn't been a hit, and people hadn't noticed the lyrics. Maybe they want to be actresses, maybe Iwant to be a poet. "It's not true of all singers though. I'm sure that Billy Bragg hasn't come across the prob- lems of being labelled as a fatuous and vacuous person." As he considers this to be a simple sort of narrative form, are the mournful songs areaction to his personal life? " People always say that if you go through hard times, if you have a dreadful personal crisis, you write brilliant songs. When I left my last girlfriend and was going through adeep personal trauma, Ispoke to Dave Wakeling ( General Public) and he said 'You'll get a lot of songs out of this, won't you?' That was his first response. "In fact I've written a song about writing songs — it's called ' A Lot Of Ink'. I'll get a lot of ink out of our affair, it's a cynical way of looking at it. Things are not always what they seem though, with the lyrics from the overtly romantic ' Kiss 'I was driven to the depths of mawkishness' Me', which is the first track on the album, being largely derivative. It's coined from •the biblical book of Solomon, Dorothy Parker, with James Joyce's name thrown in for good measure. "I was watching Bryan Ferry being interviewed on television the other night and he said that when he was younger he tried to cram as many 'I lead this awful B- movie lifestyle,' says sorrowful pop star and references in to his songs as possible.

SHE MAKES ME QUIVER "AS THE line goes ' she's got a lot of problems'. She's incredibly f****d up, but we've got this great sexual relationship. With the strain though you end up making nervous chat ' Was my con- versation trite, all weighed down with luggage?' The rhymes are used to convey torture, which makes it very uncomfortable. That's why it wasn't a hit when it was released as a single as it is so close to being aparody."

A MASTERPIECE "THIS IS the simplest pop song. ' If Iwas brave enough, I'd call you up and say how much Ilove you.' It sounds trite, but when it's something you are experiencing, something that's happening to you, it's more important than anything else."

He'd never played electric guitar before, and was strumming these three chords making a terrible sound and Ijust started singing along. It reminds me of ' Green Grow The Rushes 0'. It's my Neil Diamond song. "Joad's never got any money so the first word is ' broke — Ithink the rent is due'. It's also got the line ' You turn my night to day' which is from a Donna Summer song, which makes it all crass."

Including ' Low- Life', New Order/Joy Division have produced six Ialbums. How have they changed during this time? ORE SERIOUSLY, their wariness stems mainly from the time of Ian Curtis's death. One thing to lose a friend, another to Mhave it made public — even worse to have people who should know better laughing about it in print.. Rob Gretton: " There were lots of things written about Ian that were highly offensive to him and his wife. Some joke like ' Hear the one about the basket hanging in the kitchen?'. Something like that. I thought ' If his wife reads that." Peter: " Or his daughter. Basically, they are pretty horrible. For all we know, you might turn out to be like that.

Go West are following up the phenomenally successful ' We Close Our Eyes' with their second single ' Call Me'. And in the video stakes, we see one set of living legends, Godley and Creme, replaced by another — Russell ' is my tan blinding you?'

And you won't get much change out of sixpence for Russell's services, with 70 people on the set, including Hot Gossip choreographer Arlene Phillips and lots of lithe young things dancing about in the street. The £ 90,000 it cost for the Godley and Creme video can't be far from the figure paid out for this little epic. As Richard Drummie says, though: e y e d e

Jimmy Nail, 31, is now hard at work on the new series but refuses to give any clues to forthcoming developments apart from " every- body's moved on". "Nobody thought it would take off as it did," he admits. " It wasn't aimed at anyone but it's done well right across the board. I met Princess Anne. I know she usually gets briefed on everything so she seems knowledgeable but she knew so much about it that she talked to me for about 10-15 mi- nutes." Sometimes the reaction is a bit less de- mure. "I was walking through Dulwich when I heard the squealing of car brakes. This car just reversed at high speed back towards me and a black lad jumped out of the car and said 'Hey, my main man'. He deserved an auto- graph for that." Already plans are advanced for an LP and a set of live dates. "I'll be much happier when Ican play live. A lot of people know what can be done in a studio to people who can't sing to make them sound good. I'd like to show that Ican do it. Anyone who likes soul/blues/rock/reggae orientated stuff will be well looked after."

NEW 7" & 3- TRACK 12" SINGLE GIRLS ON MY MIND

COTILLON Distributed by wea Records Ltd. O AWarner Communications Co. eANTI HEROIN BENEFIT, ST JAMES' CHURCH, PICCADILLY THE ULTIMATE Banshees venue, all stone floors and stained glass and awide-eyed and somewhat uneasy audience of Siouxsiephiles, packed to the pulpits for a long awaited and rare show from Sioux and the boys. The church organ player, who must have reached roughly page six in his tune- a- day book, added to the atmosphere as the dry ice filled the altar despite the ' no smoking in the church please' signs and the band took the stage. Problem number one — godawful ( excuse the blasphemy) acouStics obliterated anything and everything once Budgie steamed into his not inconsiderable drum kit, leaving Sioux's voice to occasionally take control while bass and guitars never stood a chance. Not that the fans seemed to care as they pogoed (yawn) like good ' uns to songs old and new, often unrecognisable as the sound shook the scene of the resurrection above Sioux's head, though 'Swimming Horses' complete with wacky dance, 'Pointing Bone' and ' Take Me Back' were in there somewhere I'm sure, and the obligatory 'Israel' appeared for the second encore. However, it was the quieter moments when the sheer beauty of Banshees' music shone through as Budgie contented himself with the stroking of a cymbal here and the tickling of a drum there, most notably on 'Mother' — brilliant. All in all though, an aural assault which did little more than appease the Banshees fanatics and make a welcome few quid for the Anti Heroin Campaign.

Another thing that makes Wendy an unlike- ly pop person, she confesses, is a dislike of records and pop music generally. " I never think anything's any good," she says worried- ly. " Records always seem boring or just really really awful. That's about the range of it real- ly. Idon't really listen to any records except Sprout's records of course, I'm not really in- terested. Isuppose if Iwrote the songs I'd be completely original because I couldn't copy anything else. I just love singing and I love everything we do, though I never did any singing before Ijoined Prefab Sprout."

"NEVER go out. Paddy stays at home w ith his drum machine and Is tay at home w ith Ime little piano. Mark's more into the so- cial side of things. Ido like going out but I don't get much opportunity and Newcastle's not the greatest place to go out in the world — oh dear, Ishouldn't have said that. Iwant to learn to play the keyboard better and just learn more generally about the business so that takes up most of my time. Sometimes, I've even listened to records to see if I'd like them — Ididn't!" Has she ever disliked one of Paddy's songs, Iwonder? "I never discuss Paddy's songs with him," she says diplomatically. " Inever tell him what Ithink because Ireally like to keep things to myself. Ido think things but Inever tell any- body, it's just my character I supp ose.

Flying towards Sydney they were treated to a mag - nificent view as the day broke over the Australian desert. From 30,000 feet above the rust red carpet, the dawn takes the shape of a bright pin', beacon from the east. For Spandau Ballet whose entire existence revolves around worde. like ' vitality', ' colour', and ' youth', it was í stunning sight as they sleepily nibbled at con- tinental breakfasts dished out by British Air- ways hostesses. Spandau Ballet have been big in Australia from the start. They'd been promising to come for four years as each of their singles smoothly sailed into the top 10 and albums went platinum. It was just a pity for them that Bruce Springsteen chose to tour at the same time ( they shared hotels in Sydney), stealing much of their thunder. If this peeved Spandau, they didn't show it. They lapped up the sunshine and the cosmo- politan nature of Sydney, eagerly trying out the Mexican, Lebanese, Southeast Asian, Greek and Japanese restaurants flowering next to each other in the red light area of Kings Cross.

HIS HAS got to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world," Gary Kemp mutters, as he surveys the natu- ral harbour, gentle surrounding hills and houses from his hotel suite. "I can understand what John Mortimer of the Sunday Times meant when he called this place one of the world's best kept secrets." After a series of shows at the 15,000 capac- ity Entertainment Centre, the band and assorted girlfriends/wives fly up to Hayman Island, a tropical island resort off the coast of Queensland where they spent a few days scu- ba diving, sunbathing, eating' lobsters, drink- ing 4XXX beer and fishing, while Gary and Martin try to hunt down a long lost cousin. After that comes a flight down South, where even the traditionally grey and raining Melbourne turns on the sun for them. As the band step into the lounge at Melbourne's Tul- lamarine Airport, they are presented with football jumpers by members of the Essendon team. After that it is a fight through screaming girls outside into the limousines, which speed down the freeway, through the city centre and out to the ABC Studios where ' Count- down' ( the local equivalent of ' Top Of the Pops') is being filmed. "You know what British people are like ab- out the sun — give us an inch and we'll take a mile," quips Steve Norman, as he gets made- up backstage. " We've taken so long to come but it's been worth it." Looking forward to playing places like Hong Kong and Korea after this, Steve? "Oh, we're not going there now," he re- plies. " We were going to do all those areas, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong but Idon't think we'll have time. The Australian tour's been extended, so we might have to keep that until the next time. "We were in Hong Kong when we shot the video for ' Highly Strung' — obviously when you have a song about claustrophobia and pressure, you shoot the video in the place where there are more people per square inch than anywhere else in the world. "Hong Kong's a fascinating place — on the one hand you have these huge expensive apartments, on the other you have people selling frogs so they can make some money. It's quite sad, really, but I enjoyed it much more than Budapest, where we flew to right after, and which looked like it had been closed for the weekend!"

Acne, a line- free face and a Young Person's Railcard are no longer essentials for a pop career. The RAH Band's Richard Hewson shows how to get away with wearing a shiny spacesuit at 46. Story: Robin Smith

OU MIGHT have thought it was impossible, but we've discovered a chart star who's even older than Phil Collins or Mick Jagger. Richard Hewson, the man behind the RAH Band is 46. On vocals is his wife Liz, but I'm too much of a gentleman to ask her age. Last week, Liz left the supper in the oven for their two children Daniel and Lucy while they went off to rehearse for ' Top Of The Pops', putting their single 'Clouds Across The Moon' even further into orbit. Richard doesn't exactly look like a typical pop star. Meeting him you'd think he was a doctor or a successful accountant who plays golf at weekends, but he's been having hits since 1968. "I don't think outward appearances really matter," he says. "Look at some of the great artists like Dali. They dress ex- tremely conservatively but they are capable of great artistic expression. They might wear sober suits but their visions are tremendous. "I think there's room for anybody in music, regardless of how they look." Indeed, so far the RAH Band have clocked up around four top 40 hits and numerous club successes, making Richard and Liz very happy. "I think we have a strong dance floor following," continues Richard. " Our singles usually start in the clubs, build up a strong reputation and then cross into the charts. I'm not suc- cessful all the time, but I've had lots of little triumphs as well." nt but pact, you can make music with something three smaller than a suitcase.
