Drummer and founding driving force behind Modern Romance, Andy Kyriacou, joins Tony Mantor for an entertaining and revealing conversation about the rise of one of Britain's most recognizable pop bands and the journey that has kept the music alive for more than four decades.

Andy shares the incredible story of joining Modern Romance just as the band faced its final opportunity with its record label, the creative idea that helped launch "Everybody Salsa" into the charts, and how grassroots promotion transformed their career into international success.

The conversation also explores life on the road during the 1980s, the realities behind fame and financial struggles, reforming the band years later, and why audiences still connect with the music today.

Andy also discusses writing his upcoming autobiography, drawing from personal diaries kept throughout the band's early years, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of pop music's most memorable eras.
