The Go-Betweens: The 80s band that never conquered the world - BBC Newsnight

They had everything going for them - the songs, the look and the timing - to become superstars. But they failed time and time again to make a commercial impact. The story of The Go-Betweens was made into a feature-length documentary. Now, the group’s founder, Robert Forster, has published his own account 'Grant and I’. Stephen Smith has been talking to him in the Soho studio where The Go-Betweens recorded thirty years ago.
