Pop music was supposed to be a flash in the pan, but here we are 50 years later and it means something to us, and it always will do. It's incredibly important.

I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service.

I had a total belief in The Style Council. I meant every word and felt every action.

The Zombies were really unique - they had elements of jazz and classical music in their songs and songwriting. They had a very, very different sound compared to a lot of their contemporaries at the time.

I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there. It's the home of a lot of music I grew up with.

Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.

I think the biggest influence for me is when I hear a great piece of music, whatever the style, I'm kind of inspired by that greatness and I'm inspired to try and obtain something that comes close to that greatness.
