  Highly Recommended
 

2005-Apr-21   The Orchestra Pit    Full Circle #17 - Emma Anderson  
 

27 minute interview with Emma, on Full Circle with Mark Brady, while she was still in Sing-Sing, broadcast on Resonance 104.4 FM in London.

Begins with Emma's Sunbathing demo (which became a B-Side on the Sweetness and Light EP), then she talks about the early days of Lush, and ends with Sing Sing's cover of Sunbathing from the album Sing Sing and I (hence the "Full Circle").

 

 

2011-Mar-23   Triple R 102.7 FM Melbourne   The Golden Age of Piracy  
 

Radio station RRR 102.7 FM in Melbourne airs an audio interview with Miki and Emma (recorded March 10th) on the 'The Golden Age of Piracy' program's "Formative Five" segment, where they play and discuss 5 songs that influenced their music.

56 minutes, with the interview segments interspersed throughout the broadcast.

Emma can be heard clearly, but Miki's audio is very muffled and difficult to hear. This is included here only because it was Miki's first radio interview in 15 years. Its not clear whether Miki and Emma were both on the line at the same time or they were interviewed separately and spliced together later. 

 

 

2013-Sep-26   Rough Trade East - Book Launch Event   Facing the Other Way: The Story of 4AD

2015-Sep-22   Ola's Kool Kitchen, #281   Phil King Interview  
 

A great interview with Phil about his time with the Servants, Felt, Biff Bang Pow, Lush and Jesus & Mary Chain.

65 minutes with 3 interview segments interspersed between songs. He discusses Lush in the second segment which is at 22-38 minutes.

Ola's Kool Kitchen is a London radio show which airs on several FM and streaming stations.

 

 

2015-Oct-30   BBC Four   Girl in a Band: Tales from the Rock 'n' Roll Front Line      VIDEO INTERVIEW   
 

BBC Four broadcasts the new documentary "Girl in a Band: Tales from the Rock 'n' Roll Front Line" which includes a fantastic (and much talked about) interview with Miki, starting at 49 minutes. This was Miki's first broadcast-TV interview in many years. It was recorded before the reunion was announced, but it aired after the announcement and the narrator mentions it briefly.

The documentaty itself is brilliant and well worth watching aside from Lush. It's no longer available on the BBC website (and was never playable outside the UK) but it is still on YouTube, in HD.

  Miki on Twitter:
"Off to south London on Saturday to do second hour of Larry B's radio show/podcast. You can listen in to my random tracks and waffle live via the tune in app or on www.wnbc.london"
"Here's a link to the radio show I did on Saturday. The usual apologies for my witless chatter - I don't think the HRT pills are helping. Thanks again Larry B for allowing me to gatecrash!"
