Andy McCluskey Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Interview

Exclusive interview with Andy McCluskey from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the dark.
The interview was done on the 23rd September 2014 and was first shown at the 2014 OMD Fan Event.
A limited number of just 60 DVDs were also produced with each person at the part getting one, and the leftovers being auctioned to raise money for the Marie Curie Charity.
A unusual interview, with question from fans attending the party, and some very interesting answers from Andy McCluskey.
The interview was done by Neil Taylor

Omd are probably two of the nicest people in music. What a band

[@chanyphilly8266]

This is a fantastic interview! So great to see Andy so laid back and honest, talking about everything from bad songs to supernatural experiences! Love it!

[@John010567]

What a great interview and what a great guy! I have had the pleasure to shake Andy s hand and can confirm that he is as nice in real as in the interview. 👍

Love this interview Neil Taylor.2nd time watching it.Just need to find the fan quiz i once watched.

[@NeilTaylor]

Thanks. The interviews I do I try to make the questions not the usual ones, and its great when fans ask obscure questions.

I would have thought the biggest live audience was the GLC Jobs For A Change Festival in July 1985 @ Battersea Park. I was there...huge audience.

[@CAVERN1234]

You got the in the dark bit right

[@underthecocopalm2840]

I LOVE PACiFiC AGE :D.... every song!!

[@forestfire1232]

It’s a pretty bad album and I generally like this band. It’s a pretty bland album to be brutally honest

[@neilhenderson458]

The choice of main Single off Pacific Age bemused me . Why was Stay ( 1st song of it ) not released as the Main single . Yet they issued " Shame " ( apt title ) Not the best choice in my eyes ! Who makes these Choices ??

[@isthisthingcursed]

@@neilhenderson458 from what i've heard, it was the record company that wanted "shame" as a single, not the members of omd

ANDY GRANT MUSIC PLEASE COMAN A CHILE FESTIVAL OF VIÑA DEL MAR CHILE OMD WELCOM YOU FANS 1985 -2020.-

Was the interview done within his own home? Is so, how lovely of him to invite you to his home. How sincere he truly is towards Malcolm. I am glad that they did get back together and perform.. given so much joy to people.

[@NeilTaylor]

Yes this was filmed in Andys home, I have done a few interviews with him at his house. Are you on our OMD Fan Facebook Group? I have done some recent clip and a live video recently from his home.

[@humanchannel7825]

When will you do another interview

[@NeilTaylor]

@@humanchannel7825 That, I am not so sure on. We will have an exclusive clip up end of next week with Andy.

[@humanchannel7825]

Neil Taylor ok thanks

[@meganotofthisworld]

How does Andy compose his songs? On keyboards or on a guitar?

[@brody5211]

Great question

[@peternagy-im4be]

​@@brody5211a GREAT question

[@bettinaneveling8773]

Very good interview, well done. Good questions. But could anybody ask for the lyrics of "Navigation". It´s in my top20 Best Songs Ever, since 25 years, although i do NOT understand 90%. Looking in the web, people seem to have a completely different song. Sorry, I´m only german...

[@chanyphilly8266]

One..... One is all Two..... Two hard Three...... three now One..... one is all This..... this is all Two..... two heart to.... to hang on fine This..... this is far away This.... this is all It..... it ought to be Two.... two a part of me Anymore...... anymore to Two...... two hearts

[@eymerichinquisitore9022]

The condemnation that awaits the experimenter or who has a recognizable "hallmark" when he changes his approach to composition and lets himself be tempted by pop success is to lose loyal fans and rely on distracted fans who change their minds quickly. OMD the first 3 albums are perfect, then the end.
