Charlie Reid (Proclaimers) : I remember seeing Kevin in Edinburgh ... you'd just had a No 1 with Come On Eileen and you just said, "No, fuck this band." You got right under the skin of tossers in the music business and I loved that. At the awards ceremony for the Rock and Pop Awards - now the Brits - you did a filmed message for the audience and the industry booed you, cos you'd pissed that many of them off!
Kevin Rowland (Dexys Midnight Runners) : It was intentional, but we made hard work for ourselves. Full-page statements in the music press instead of interviews. I read stuff now about us stealing tapes, the fitness regime, bunking the trains, and sometimes I feel that overshadowed the music. I guess we didn't want to be boring.
