    John Doran meets Adam Ant in the sixth chapter of our British Masters series, where John interviews the most influential and colorful figures from British popular music history. Like previous British Masters, including Gary Numan, Aidan Moffat, Johnny Marr, and Bryan Ferry, Adam Ant was a notable outlier in his genre, and was also responsible for a lot of allergic reactions in the 80s through his starting of the British face-painting craze.
    In John's own words, Adam Ant's "brand of pop was one of the most berserk and adventurous ever heard, and remains a symbol of what the pure flight of the imagination can achieve."
    Check out previous episodes of the British Masters here!

    A true British icon. The guy is a legend , love listening to his interviews , I feel he hasn't had the recognition he deserves ,from the industry

      I agree in regards to recognition, been listening to his eighties hey day albums and they just blasts of exuberance , hooks and pop innovation
      Dirty Beast off that last album showed as well Ant can do subtle and wistful too

      My mum and uncle used to love him when they were growing up. I had always liked the songs I heard, but I recently have took the deep dive…. And I’m honestly blown away. The fact that his sings aren’t still on radio rotation upsets me. I’ve got all my mums old records though, so I can’t wait to dig out the original 7’s😀

    Adam Ant / Adam and the Ants wasn't an 80s product. The man is timeless. He just happened to be in the 80s when he brought about his out-of-this-world brilliancy! But he could have done it any time, regardless of his year of birth. The man is a timeless genius.

      I'm from Brazil, and I discovered Adam and The Ants around 2008 or 2009, when I heard Ant Music. I never thought it was a song made in the early 80s. I got hooked on that song and when I discovered the other songs by Adam Ant I was amazed wondering how I had never heard of this artist before. MTV in Brasil never showed anything about him and never showed any video of him. This man is a genius in my opinion and his work is indescribable. Very underestimated by the mainstream media, but I am happy to see that he is still recognized by people today.

    The first album I bought with my own money was Prince Charming when I was 10. I got that and a Kings of the Wild Fronteir t-shirt from the record shop for a tenner. Then wandered around with a white stripe on my face for a few months while my parents worried about me getting beaten up for wearing makeup. Thanks for this. It was a wonderful interview (again) and I'm quite taken back to a time I'd near;y forgotten.
