We talk to Kimberley Rew - Guitarist and Songwriter of Katrina & The Waves. Kimberley joins us, along with his wife and bandmate Lee Cave-Berry, to discuss his incredible career from Archaeology graduate to member of hugely respected, yet under the radar band The Soft Boys before gaining worldwide chart topping success with Katrina & The Waves. It's a journey that takes him from his college town of Cambridge to New York City as the 70s rolled into the 80s, right through to success at The Eurovision Song Contest in 1997. Ever an unpredictable ride it's been Kimberley's raw and timeless songwriting talent that has always been at the forefront and still shines brightly to this day!
