Premiere at 5pm UK May 29th 2025
Filmed at The Union Chapel, London on May 25th 2025
Join actor, presenter and comedian Rob Brydon in conversation with Ron and Russell Mael, of the legendary band Sparks, for an insightful, illuminating and entertaining foray into the minds of two of the most fascinating and talented artists working today.
Containing fresh perspectives on a career that has spanned more than five decades this is a ‘must see’ – not just for fans of Sparks or Rob Brydon, but for anyone who admires artists who are adventurous, focused and visionary. It’s also very funny, surprising, and moving.
Before the event Rob Brydon said “I still have the cassette of Propaganda, a present on my ninth birthday. Since then Sparks have held a very special place in my heart. They are the epitome of creativity and musicality.”
The band’s 28th studio album, ‘MAD!’, released on May 23rd, looks set to give them their highest UK chart entry this Friday (May 30th). Buy, download or stream HERE.
Sparks will be on tour in June, July and September London, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Wolverhampton. Tickets and further information available here.
