Ballrooms, Blockbusters & B-Sides – A Mixtape Interview with Andy Scott of Sweet

In this electrifying episode of The Mixtape, we sit down with legendary guitarist Andy Scott of Sweet—the glam rock pioneers behind timeless hits like Ballroom Blitz, Fox on the Run, and Love Is Like Oxygen.


Andy takes us on a journey through the band’s meteoric rise, their place in rock history, and the surreal moment their music was featured in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise—introducing a whole new generation to their sound. He opens up about the one gig he never got to play—being turned away from the Sydney Opera House, and what that moment meant to the band.


But it wouldn’t be The Mixtape without, well... a mixtape. We ask Andy to build his ultimate 6-track mixtape, exploring the artists and songs that influenced him most—from guitar gods to glam greats. Each track sparks a story, a memory, and a deeper look into what shaped the Sweet sound.


Whether you're a lifelong fan or just discovering Sweet through a movie soundtrack, this episode is packed with music history, personal insights, and rock 'n' roll stories you won’t want to miss.


👉 Hit play, turn it up, and get ready to rock with Andy Scott.
