On 9 February 2019, I had my one and only conversation with Soft Cell’s Dave Ball. The intention was to use this in a project I was working on at the time that ultimately never got finished.
On the sad occasion of Ball’s passing, I decided to revisit the conversation. I remember it was a Saturday afternoon, and took place during the halftime break of a football match he was watching on television.
The full interview is now online at documentaryevidence.co.uk and finds Dave talking about his time at Leeds Poly, his interactions with Frank Tovey / Fad Gadget, the birth of Soft Cell and working with Daniel Miller.
