This week on Spicks and Specks
Our special guests for this week are pop songsmith Mike Chapman,
hellrazing comedian Pete Helliar, Four Corners producer Lin Buchfield
and wrong-town comedian Adam Rozenbachs.
Pop songsmith and purple-satin bell-bottom wearing Mike Chapman,
was a major force in the British pop music industry in the early 1970s.
Blessed with a certain magic touch, Mike Chapman & Nicki Chinn wrote
and produced solo artists and bands like Suzi Quatro, Smokie,
The Sweet and Blondie. Mike is known for being a brilliant
perfectionist with an uncanny ear for a hit song, and has lived through
the breathtaking privilege of hanging out with Elvis in Los Angelos
(1974).
