I'm glad I can do both full-band electric and solo acoustic performances. It's nice to have contrast, so if you get fed up with one, you can just switch to the other one. It's great to go to a town and play an acoustic show, and then you can come back a year later and play electric, and the show's really fairly different. The repertoire will be 50 percent different. The musical energy is completely different.

I try to look for the good in everybody, regardless of the way they're labeled.

Well, first of all it's entertainment. That stops us becoming too pretentious or thinking we're great artists.

I have to remind myself not to set boundaries.

The best thing you've got going for you is individuality.

When you stand up acoustic in front of an audience, you really are a man without any clothes on. And that can be fun - it depends how much of an exhibitionist you are, I suppose. I quite enjoy it.
