*This episode contains excerpts of 3rd party content*

In Episode 68 things peak. New heights of name dropping and contract work!!!

We welcome Sheffield legend David Clayton, school friend of Cabaret Voltaire and founder of synth funk (and early poptarts signature tunesmiths) Person To Person. Dave tells us all about his career from the early days of funk outfit Hot Cuisine to going on to playing for everyone, working on a reputation by recommendation for ABC, The The, Paul McCartney, Simply Red, U2 and The Pet Shop Boys to name a few. But it was when he teamed up with Tim Simenon, Kerry Hopwood and Q to form Toy, Dave took up programming duties for Depeche Mode on the Ultra album. Which led to getting a call from *Kling Klang Studios* and an invitation to create some sounds for Kraftwerk for the Expo project!!!!

This humble egoless keyboard player from Sheffield has quite a tale to tell.

We hope you enjoy it - DA.
