Martin Kemp(I)

He played bass in the 1980s pop band Spandau Ballet. His older brother, Gary Kemp, was the guitarist, synthesizer player and songwriter. His other bandmates were Tony Hadley, John Keeble and Steve Norman.

Everything was larger than life: the clothes we wore, the shoulder pads, the hairspray. It was all about excess, which is why I think bands from the Eighties never kind of transposed and found their way into the Nineties very well, because the Nineties became very street.
