When did you first get into music?
When I was younger my Mum would always have music playing in the car on the way to school, and my primary school was very performing arts orientated. We even did Shakespeare plays that had been adapted into musicals.
What was the best show you've played yet?
We played at Perth's Christmas light switch on in Scotland. That was really fun, even though it was so cold we couldn't feel our fingers. But our home town is Nottingham so any show there is great too.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
We're all quite ambitious in the band, we've actually got lots of things we'd like to do so it's kind of difficult to say. Receiving a knighthood would be pretty nice. I try not looking forward too much because you miss the view of now.
That's actually a great way to look at it, I like it. Are their any artists that inspired you?
I can't really think of a single artist that inspired me the most. I think it's best not to be too heavily inspired by any one person in particular, otherwise you end up sounding too much like them and that's already been done. If I had to pick it'd be vocalists that I find most inspiring, I've always thought Steven Tyler from Aerosmith has an awesome voice, I listened to a lot of Queen when I was younger and I was listening to some Stevie Wonder five minutes ago, and he sounds cool to me. Plus I've only just really noticed how cool of a surname "Wonder" is.
Who's your favourite local band?
I like Amber Run.
Good choice. And finally, any advice to your younger self?
To be honest I like the way things have worked out so far, so I'd probably leave my younger self to it and use the time machine for something cooler.
