As the frontman and driving force behind Dexys Midnight Runners, Kevin Rowland was one of the most enigmatic and unpredictable pop stars of the 1980s. After a string of hits that climaxed with the huge international success of Come On Eileen, Kevin defied all normal expectations - and the advice of record executives - and radically reinvented the band’s look, sound and even its name, rebranding them just Dexys. Here, Kevin looks back on his unique career, sets the record straight on a few pop myths, and shares the fascinating and sometimes emotional stories behind many of those classic songs as he introduces the best of the band’s BBC performances. It’s a collection that spans the early days of Top of the Pops and Saturday Superstore, Dexys’ 2012 comeback, their acclaimed run of performances at the London’s Duke of York’s Theatre and 2024’s triumphant appearance at Glastonbury.
