Interview with Steve Bettney (vocals) and Paul Bradder (keyboards) from Saracen.
Their debut album Heroes, Saints and Fools with its powerful brand of hard edged Pomp Rock became an instant classic on its release in 1981. The follow up Change of Heart with its more commercial approach failed to capture the spirit of their debut and the band split soon after its release. Coaxed out of retirement by Bruce Mee of Now and Then Record in 2003 Saracen have gone on to create another four impressive releases more in the spirit of their fabled debut album.
