Andy Bell chats to ilikemusic.com

ILM: And how is life in Spain with your man?

Andy: It's really nice. We're not back until November, so it'll be rainy there too but it doesn't matter.

ILM: What advice do you have for young singers starting out on the road to fame?

Andy: I have respect for people for songwriters and singers who work on their craft, it's like anything, whether you make chairs or make music, you have to practice. So songwriters should write as much as they can, and singers should go out and sing live, there's nothing like going out and playing live, even if it's the local pub. I love doing karaoke. If there's a band playing when I go home and I'm out with my parents at the local Working Men's club, it's great to get up and do one song. Just keep at and carry on regardless is all the advice I can give.

ILM: What is in your CD player right now? And which bands are rocking your world right now?

Andy: I've got the acoustic album we've just done in New York on my CD player, on my iPod I've got Once Upon A Time by Donna Summer, and Hollywood by Madonna, and DJ Caroline, it's like electro clash style. Plus I've got M - remember them, they did Pop Music, their album.

ILM: Can you describe the highlight of your life so far and highlight of your musical life?

Andy: One is having the keys the City of San Francisco and two, it hasn't happened yet.
