How
would you describe yourselves?
Mellow
reflective indie.... Like a more level-headed less frenetic Wedding Present;
chiming guitars and literate understated lyrics.
Who
are your main influences musically?
80's Indie - House Of Love,
Cure, James, The Wedding Present, The Sundays, Lloyd Cole, The Go-Betweens, New
Order, Woodentops.
What
do you hope to achieve in music?
Leave a legacy
of timeless well written songs, with some great memories from our live shows
and get heard by a few more people.
What
has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Supporting The
Wedding Present on the big stage at the O2 in Oxford. It was our comeback gig and
the wonderful Mr Gedge arranged for it to happen as I was heading back in to
hospital shortly after. Massive stage, great sound, very very loud and all our
fans turned out!
And
what’s the moment you want to forget?
Deciding to give
it up and get real jobs first time round.
If you had to choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
Oooh that's a
hard one..... probably Gliding; it is a bit slower than our normal stuff, but
has real feeling and has stood the test of time. Also has a few different
phases; shades of light and dark.... that is what we do in the other songs...
i.e. not follow a formula.
Where
can we listen to it?

Anything
else you’d like to say that I forgot to ask?
I have been
involved in the Rankin project... Alive: In The Face Of Death. My portrait now
hangs in The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. We have released Gliding as a
double B side single to support charities involved in the project. Rankin, the
world famous photographer has been kind enough to let us use one of his
pictures as the cover
