It will be the first time I've played live with a double bass.

So if you see Ten Years After, it's not me anymore. I'm very happy with what I am doing now.

I just couldn't take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that's about all I did at school.

I started off playing the clarinet, after I was inspired by listening to my dad's Benny Goodman records.

Anywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books.

I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do

... I'm not conscious of the speed ... it's not my motive ... my motive is displaying a voice through the fingerboard ... it can get to the point where I don't have control over what I am playing ... I never end the gig until I can't sing anymore
