S10E9: KT Tunstall joins the Rockonteurs

Tune into Rockonteurs with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt for a backstage pass to music history, hosted by two genuine insiders who lived it. Gary Kemp, the Spandau Ballet songwriter behind anthems like ‘True’ and ‘Gold’, teams up with legendary session bassist Guy Pratt, whose playing underpinned tracks for Pink Floyd and Madonna.

You’ll hear firsthand accounts of the creative clashes, the spontaneous genius, and the sheer hard graft that shaped classic rock and pop. The tone is more like a chat between old friends who happen to have incredible rolodexes, full of laughter, surprising revelations, and a deep, authentic respect for the craft. Each episode feels like you’re eavesdropping on a fascinating, insider conversation you won’t get anywhere else, all grounded in the hosts’ own vast experiences on stage and in the studio. It’s essential listening for anyone who loves the stories behind the songs.
