Gary Kemp joined Tom tonight to talk about the bands new album 'The Very Best of Spandau Ballet: The Story' and a new film about the band 'Soul Boys of the Western World' - which premiered in Irish cinemas tonight.

In a wide ranging interview Gary talked about building bridges between the estranged band members again...

'That was the hardest one of all - me and Tony.  That's traditional - the guitarist / songwriter and the singer, they're the two alpha males of the band really but I really wanted to reach out as our past is so valuable.'

He also talked about coming to terms with the discomfort of seeing their story on the big screen...

'I thought some of the band members would feel uncomfortable about some things that were in the film.  I mean, at one point I'm the baddie, there's no question about that.  Did I feel uncomfortable?  Of course I did...it is a tough watch for the group'.
