80: Starsailor - James Walsh on 20 years of Love Is Here, acoustic guitars, a 'house banger' remix, and supporting The Rolling Stones

This week on The Boys in the Band Podcast we're joined by James Walsh from Starsailor. It's 20 years since the band's huge debut album Love Is Here landed and with Starsailor about to head off on an anniversary tour it was the perfect time for James to reflect on how that LP was written, its reception... and the pain of missing out on No1 to Kylie Minogue! He also tells us how Four To The Floor from their second album became a remixed club hit in Europe, what it was like supporting The Rolling Stones, and working with Phil Spector. We also chart the band's journey from being labelled as 'The best new band in Britain' by NME through to their upcoming tour and James' prolific solo work.  Starsailor fan?
