Martyn Ware of Heaven 17 answers five questions from Sarah Turnbull from Edgware, Middlesex.

Sarah: Why did Heaven 17 break away from the old Human League?

Martyn: Sometimes it's hard to give up something that appears to be your entire life, but we all knew in our heart of hearts at the time that it was the best thing for all of us. It certainly turned out well, I think, for both groups.

Sarah: Have you any brothers or sisters?

Martyn: I've got two sisters, Janet and Maureen, and a brother Stephen. They're all older than me and all married

Sarah: Whereabouts in Sheffield do you come from, and did you go to the same school as Glenn and Ian?

Martyn: Originally I lived in Walkley in Sheffield. We all went to different schools, I went to King Edward VI I School, but we met at a youth drama project called Meatwhistle!

Sarah: Where did you meet your wife Karen?

Martyn: We first met at my 21st birthday party above the Hallanshire Pub on West Street in Sheffield. She gave me a kiss for my birthday and it was all downhill from there!

Sarah: Have you ever sung on your own on any of Heaven 17's albums?

Martyn: No I haven't. I think my voice on its own is a little lightweight, but I do all the backing vocals with Glenn and I think our voices combine very well -technically speaking!
