What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Supporting tribute band The Complete Stone Roses in front of a packed out O2 ABC Arena in 2013. During the years of the Stone Roses hiatus, the Complete's were the only chance to see the Roses stuff being played live and they are the best cover band of the best band! We also had a lot of fun filming our first music video "Keep On Prayin'" - https://www.youtube.com/

And what’s the moment you want to forget?
We've always had a good laugh and enjoyed every gig but there are one or two early ones that performance wise would be best forgotten about, usually due to one or all of us being too drunk to play properly but we've started taking it a bit more seriously since the gigs have started to get bigger and better!

If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
We open up most of our gigs with Act of God because we feel the opening lines kind of define us. It's a kind of in your face song.
