What a wonderful interview - you got Paddy opening up with such ease and your knowledge shone through.  Really enjoyed listening to this, thanks!

Green and Paddy should make a band together:)

3 years and I still get a lump on my throat when I listen to this. probably because I'm the "Carmen" (my real name) Miranda is talking about. Love you Paddy. <3

What a treat - awesome to hear Paddy so candid.  I have never heard some of the 2000's records (save Crimson Red - excellent of course).  I think its time I seek them out.

I had the pleasure of chatting to Prefab Sprout's Paddy McAloon for over an hour on the phone. Please excuse the audio quality as the interview was recorded using a telephone recording service rather than from a studio.

Paddy McAloon Interview, December 6th 2013

Mother of two, lived in the UAE (2002-2007) and Bahrain (2007-2011) until the political situation there forced a return to the UK. Graduate from the University of London Goldsmiths College's MA Radio in 2000, worked at BBC Radio until 2002 and then jacked it all in to follow my husband around the Gulf. While fellow MA grads have gone on to present and produce on national radio, I've been soaking it all in and I can honestly say my (nearly) ten years living in the Middle East has made me a better and more interesting producer than I was in 2002. Now you can decide...
