- Kim Wilde's first records were written and produced by her father and brother, Marty and Ricky. The three of them have had a great influence on the music world, as this regular series 'Wilde World' shows.
When we interviewed Kim in 2007, we asked about the song 'Lullaby', which was included on Marty Wilde's 1969 album 'Diversions'. He wrote the song himself, and Kim said at the time: "It’s one of my favourite ever songs and dad wrote it for us. It was obviously written during a time he was away a lot. I don’t remember him being around very much at all. So it was a lovely song. It was such a beautiful thing to have. And it’s such a sweet little song. It meant a lot then and it means a lot now."
- Live show featuring headliners Culture Club, featuring very special guests Bananarama, Lulu and Kim Wilde, with DJ Fat Tony getting the party started.
