One on One Miro Žbirka – Czechoslovak pop star

The pop star Miroslav Žbirka is more commonly known as Miro, and his childhood nickname Meky, by his many fans here in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Prague-based singer released his first record in the late 1970s, with the group Modus, and is still having hits as a solo artist today. Miro Žbirka was born in Bratislava in 1952 to a Slovak father and an English mother. When we spoke the other day, he told me about his parents’ first meeting, in a north London pub.
