Phil produced all the early Sweet hits right from 'Funny Funny' and 'Co-Co' through to 'Ballroom Blitz' and 'Teenage Rampage' before going on to produce 'Bye Bye Baby' and 'Give a Little Love' for the Bay City Rollers which were both No 1's. He originally played drums in the 'The Paramounts' in 1965 before forming his own band, 'The Phil Wainman Set'. He secured a residency at Dolly's Club and after meeting Island's Chris Blackwell was offered the job of backing Jimmy Cliff. He started writing songs and co-wrote 'Little Games' for the' Yardbirds'. After the Bay City Rollers he produced Alex Harvey's 'Next' album. His greatest chart success, however, was the production of 'I Don't Like Mondays' by the Boomtown Rats. He also worked with Billy Idol and Adrian Gurvitz. In this interview Phil tells his story with many fascinating anecdotes and helps provide an insight into why he and the artists he worked with became so successful.
