BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 22nd December 2017
Martin Fry, frontman of iconic Sheffield band ABC, shares his musical milestones with Matt Everitt.
ABC emerged from the same Sheffield scene that had produced Cabaret Voltaire, the Human League and Heaven 17. Their debut album The Lexicon of Love was released in 1982, was produced by Trevor Horn and topped the album chart.
