I have been incredibly lucky to have conducted an interview with Mr Geoff Downes. Downes has become a worldwide Rockstar working as keyboardist and lyricist for bands such as ‘Asia’, ‘Yes’ and ‘The Buggles’ made even more famous by their hit ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ which was played on MTV.

In this unedited interview recorded from the video forum site ‘Zoom’; we discuss Geoff’s opinions on his bandmates, his favourite countries to visit whilst on tour, and how his work has been affected by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
