Who are you?
I am asking myself that question most days too. And my way to help discover the answer is through writing songs. I’ve written song since I was 12. My mother and father wrote songs to together and my brother and sister both write songs, so I suppose you could say that it runs in the family. Despite going through college convinced I wanted to be a leading jazz pianist, then leaving and playing bass rock bands and writing lots of crazy music for theatre, then seriously considering developing my orchestral skills further to write for concert halls and film, I kept coming back to songs. I love poetry you see, and songs are the best way to combine poetry and music. Each one is like a little present.

How did you come together?
I’m not sure. That’s something else I’m trying to work out. It seems we all spend the first part of our lives coming together and then we spend the second half of our life taking it apart again; relearning how to do things and stop making all the same stupid mistakes.

What was your first gig like?
I don’t remember, but I bet it was great. I remember people at school always used to like coming to my gigs, but then again, there wasn’t much else for them to do at that age.

What plans do you have for the next six months?
Since my album has been released in France and gone double platinum, we thought it’d be an idea to see if the rest of the world would be interested in hearing it. So, that means for the next six months I am going all over Europe doing gigs a and promoting this record of mine called, Hobo. At the same time, with every opportunity I get, I am writing new songs. It’s very important to me that the process of writing songs is integrated into my hectic lifestyle. It certainly isn’t easy but my soul will whither if I don’t keep it watered.

How would you like the band to be remembered?
Through the music. I don’t care if people don’t know my name. I just want the music to exist. It’s my journey and the fact that the music exist in the first place is the most important thing to think about. It’s like the two aunts who wrote Happy Birthday; no one knows who they were or what they did. All I know is that they wrote it for their niece, but it’s the most sung song in the world. Just think how many people are singing it at this very moment. So, it’s the existence of it which is important.
