As someone who has interviewed many influential artists over the years, Andrew Roachford stands out as a truly unique voice in British music. Rising to fame in the late 1980s with his band Roachford, he broke onto the charts with the unforgettable hit “Cuddly Toy”, a track that fused soul, rock, and funk in a way that felt completely fresh at the time. His debut album went platinum, and Roachford quickly established himself not just as a powerful vocalist, but also as a talented songwriter and performer.
Over the decades, his work has continued to evolve. Whether through emotionally charged solo records like Feel or Twice in a Lifetime, or as co-lead vocalist for Mike + The Mechanics since 2010, Roachford has shown a remarkable ability to adapt while remaining true to his musical roots. His voice — raw, soulful, and unmistakably his own — has become one of the most enduring sounds in British soul-rock.
In this interview, I explore Roachford’s creative journey, his musical influences, the challenges he’s faced, and the lessons learned across a career that spans more than 30 years. With an MBE awarded for his contribution to music in 2019, Roachford’s legacy continues to grow — and it was a real pleasure to speak with him.
Roachford is currently on tour, supporting his album Then and Now, featuing his greatest hits alongisde some new tracks.
