First of all, congratulations on the release of your 2015 EP ‘Holy Sick’.
Thankyaaaa
‘Holy Sick’ has been extremely well received. Do you enjoy the writing/recording process or prefer touring and playing live shows?
That’s a toughy, I think we love them both for different reasons, playing live probably has our collective heart though.

:: What track changed your life ::
John Mclaughlin’s “Extrapolation” really pulled Jazz in to focus for me when I was about 19. My guitar teacher at the time was a big John Mclaughlin fan and he introduced me to this album but it was actually Tony Oxley’s drumming on this song/album that flipped my thinking about music at that point in my life and helped me to interpret other expressionists like Elvin Jones and Tony Williams.

:: What track changed your life ::
Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground by Blind Willie Johnson. A wordless and primitive expression of pure beauty. It showed me that all artifice could be done away with and the song could be whittled to its core, transcending even language.
:: What is your favourite Album ::
Probably Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here. I have listened to it a million times and it always works.

:: What track changed your life ::
‘Road To Nowhere’ by Talking Heads. I remember hearing it on the radio in the car when I lived in Newcastle, England, and my then manager saying “Talking Heads should be the band every band aspires to, take note” and I’d never heard of them before, after that I just listened to them non-stop. My manager was right.

‘My Aim Is True’ by Elvis Costello

This is a pretty big call… Off the top of my head I’d probably have to say ‘Space They Cannot Touch’ by Kate Miller Heidke. I saw her perform at Woodford Folk Festival when I was a kid and she is a major reason I started writing songs.
:: What is your favourite Album ::
I actually don’t have one all-time favourite album! It changes all the time. My more recent faves include Megan Washington’s “There There”, Lucy Rose’s “Like I Used To” and Lorde’s “Pure Heroine”.
