Sara chats to Alison Moyet

Alison Moyet is Sara's guest for a red button special. You can watch all the videos and Sara's chat with Alison about her time in Yazoo and as a solo artist, alongside a host of classic pop videos from the decade to watch on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ red button channel from 10.30pm.

Alison talks about her formative years as a teenage punk, meeting the boys from Depeche Mode and hooking up with Vince Clarke to form Yazoo. She speaks warmly and passionately about the unfortunate break-up of the band and how they were later reunited. Life goes on into her solo career kicking off with a bidding war to sign her, the creation of her album Alf, her subsequent releases and writing with Eurythmics' Dave Stewart.

There's a chance to see her videos for Yazoo song 'Don't Go' and solo track 'Is This Love?', before Alison leads us through how life is today being back on the road.
We hear a choice of one of her favourite tracks from the 80s.

And as ever, catch the Top 5 Megamix, from this week in 1984, featuring the Number 1 cover of 'Dancing In The Streets' by David Bowie and Mick Jagger.
