It's the faster bands that made me want to play guitar, bands like The Jam.

Being a singer now I have to get all fussy... I must have my ginger and lemon and all that.

Playing and singing at the same time is pretty cool, but sometimes it's difficult to know when you can just really let go a bit because you've got to get back to bloody microphone and sing some stuff.

I think of someone like Mariah Carey as a singer.

My hobby is my job. it's a jobby!

It's mostly Mars Bars and peanuts and cheese and you go to the fridge and there's Red Bull and Beer. It's not like people are holding me down and pouring beer in my face.

I suppose my little Martin acoustic guitar is quickly becoming a prize possession. It's a lovely guitar. I bought it at the Cambridge Folk Festival in 2001 before I had cleaned up.
