There's always something in most world folk musics that always seems connected; whether it's a bagpipe or a tambura, there's always some sort of drone instrument, and there's always percussion.

It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.

The whole nostalgia thing, and just sticking with what you always liked and what you know and not taking a chance on something or expanding. I think especially after a certain age.

I wear jeans and a T-shirt sometimes. I just like clothes - since the first time I can remember, like age ten or eleven; I was just obsessed with music and clothes. Just like a lot of people in England from my generation.

Sometimes you're ahead of the game and sometimes people don't get it and that's just one of those things you have to accept and carry on.

Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.

In my old age, my mind gets more open, and I listen to so many different types of music and I guess that all reflects in my work.
