Summary
This week on The Midpoint we’re doing things a little differently. Instead of the usual conversation with one guest, Gabby is joined by one of the most enduring couples in British showbusiness: Martin Kemp and Shirlie Kemp. Martin, best known as the bassist in Spandau Ballet and for his acting career, and Shirlie, former member of the pop duo Pepsi & Shirlie, have spent decades navigating fame, family life and the ups and downs that come with both. In this episode, they talk openly about marriage, loyalty, and what it takes to grow together through life’s different chapters. From the intensity of their early pop careers to raising a family in the public eye and facing serious health challenges, Martin and Shirlie reflect on resilience, perspective and the strength that comes from partnership. A warm, honest and often funny conversation about love, longevity and supporting each other through the many midpoints life throws our way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
