What do you hope to achieve in music?
To leave some songs I am proud of when I shuffle off this
mortal coil and that people are still listening to; to record to the best of my

head. Also to die playing or to die trying.

Anything else you'd like to say about your band that I forgot to ask?
We are a mature band but with a clear agenda to continue
to innovate and create, making us pretty unusual in lots of ways and not stuck
in a musical timewarp, trotting out timeworn old favourites.
