From experimenting with punk in Big in Japan to penning and
recording new-wave tracks for Care, Ian Broudie found short-lived
success in multiple bands early in his career. When these stints
ended and with an independent record label in his name, he became a
producer-for-hire, working on hit records for acts like Echo &
the Bunnymen, the Fall, the Pale Fountains, Terry Hall, Wedding
Present and the Coral. But it was ten years on from the disbandment
of Big in Japan that he returned to where it all began: his
bedroom, tape recorder and guitar pick at hand. Originating as a
one-man-band, the Lightning Seeds was born out of limitation and
necessity when the opportunity arose to expand on Ian's set of home
recordings and press a few hundred copies of his debut. The record
took off and his next three records received critical acclaim. So,
sailing the wave of Britpop, he assembled a touring band to perform
his songs live across the Atlantic. Where the Lightning Seeds gave
him success, though, football made him a legend. Together with
comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner, Ian released the 1996
single 'Three Lions' to mark the England football team's
participation in that year's Euros. It shot to number one in the UK
and the refrain 'it's coming home' echoed across stadiums and
streets in celebration of England's progress. The remake was
released in 1998, ahead of the World Cup, and scored another UK
number one. Since then, the original has topped the chart twice
more, making it the only single in the chart's history to reach the
top spot four separate times. Now, following the release of the
Lightning Seeds' long-awaited comeback album, Ian reflects on his
illustrious career as one of our most critically and commercially
revered artists.
