I like to think illegal downloads only do real damage to the endless amounts of careless pop music though.

I like to believe a true fan of music or an artist has a genuine respect for what the artist does and has a distinct understanding of their actions. In that buying an album they are helping the artist to continue making music. It's hard because everyone wants something to be free.

If I wasn't a musician... I think I'd just be endlessly traveling.

I love playing music - and live especially - and I love being on the road. It gets in your blood.

We'll show the fire how to burn.

What I love about the tours is the day to dayness of it all.. you meet so many people and travel so much in such a short period of time and it's always so concentrated and focused that it stops you thinking beyond the box too much. I love things that absorb you completely.

The best thing is I can say 'I'm working' when I'm having a cup of tea and a cigarette and fiddling on the guitar.
