Tears For Fears: Ian Stanley Interview Pt 1 (Musician, Co-Writer of Songs From The Big Chair)

We could not end the interview section for the Tears For Fears
season better than with our final interviewee; Mr Ian Stanley -
band member from the beginning and part of the key creative unit
behind Songs From The Big Chair. 

Chatting to Ian was a great thrill and we cover the early part of
the decade here from initial meeting to working on The Hurting
with diversions into the making of both Everybody Wants To Rule
The World and Shout. *

Many thanks to Carole and, especially, David Bates who was
instrumental in getting me the chat with Ian. And thanks to Ian
for a brilliantly enjoyable conversation.

Enjoy (part 2 to follow soon) x



* still kicking myself that I didn't ask Ian why Shout didn't
have the ! it clearly needed...
