That 80s Show meets Simon Halfon

We just wanted to talk to someone involved in the Wham! documentary.

Instead we found Simon Halfon, a man who has played such a unique role in iconic albums from The Style Council, The Jam, Kim Wilde, Oasis and George Michael.

He tells us how he got involved in designing album covers, his friendship with Wham!, George Michael as an artist and how lunch with Andrew Ridgeley lead to the Netflix documentary.
