Tom Dunne is a music-lover extraordinaire who, as well as presenting radio and TV shows, can also be seen in the wild as the lead singer with Something Happens.

I thought press conferences for bands had become a thing of the past. With albums ‘dropping’ and social media giving instant access to all breaking news I just thought their day was gone. But it would appear, thankfully, I was wrong.

I got a call inviting me to a media event in Berlin. They had me at Berlin obviously but I was more than a little intrigued. It all seemed so old school. It was Depeche Mode, but apart from that details were scant and we were sworn to secrecy. For the first time in a very long time, I was asked to stay off Twitter.
