Cerys Matthews speaks to Dave Stewart, the world renowned musician and producer. He made his name as one half of the '80s megastars The Eurythmics and has gone on to sell over 100 million records in his career as an artist, writer and producer. Just before he celebrated his 65th birthday we spoke about his childhood, his love of Blues music and of course his incredible career.

Dave was born in Sunderland, England, in 1952 and began his musical career in a band called the Tourists. When they split up he formed the Eurythmics in 1980, who went on to be one of the biggest bands of the decade. Since then he has gone on to work with Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Katy Perry, No Doubt, Jon Bon Jovi and even Nelson Mandela.

He talks about writing his first songs, how he teaches people to write hit records in 15 minutes, his strange experience filming Bob Dylan in London鈥檚 Camden Market and Stevie Wonder recorded a harmonica solo on his hit There Must Be An Angel Playing With My Heart.
