Back in the 1970s, Sweet was one of the most successful pop groups to come out of the glam rock musical era. Now fifty years on, guitarist Andy Scott is the only surviving original member of the band. In this interview with Andy from his country home in Wiltshire, he reveals how the group came to be formed and how a chance encounter in Germany with T.Rex's Marc Bolan made them up their 'glam' game. He also talks about the time they almost walked off the set of Top Of The Pops.  Along with other revealing insights into their rock philosophy including the time that Brian Connolly suffered serious throat injuries after being involved in a fight - an experience that plunged their lead singer into a spiraling world of alcoholism. Currently, on tour in Germany, they have released a brand new album out called Isolation Boulevard, this is one podcast you won't want to miss. (Recorded in 2021, this is part 1 of 2.)
