| 1. What are you currently up to? |
Resting after the Thunder tour! Then putting a comprehensive dvd package together that includes all things Angels as well as my most recent stuff, oh and beginning to write my next record.
|
| 2. How did you onto the recent tour with Thunder? What was it like being back on the big stages again?
|
It was emotional! Last time I played the venues I was selling them out as the singer in the Angels! I have to say it was incredible, the audience reaction was nothing short of astounding every night and I take my hat off to the Thunder boys for managing to keep the flame alive, they rocked hard every night and were absolute gentlemen.
|
| 3. Highlights of the recent UK tour with Thunder and Roadstar? Any chance you will appear at this year's Monsters of Rock festival in June?
|
Don't know about monsters of rock, would love to but will wait to be asked! Highlights? Far too many - just being able to feel that buzz again at that level and to know that my music has managed to survive after all these years was amazing.
|
4. Could you take us through your latest release ‘Twisted Rhapsodies' and some of the ideas/stories behind the songs?
|
The Twisted album is a collection of songs written over the last 10 years that appear on the album in various forms. There are unfinished masters, demo's, songs written for others, home recordings etc -it shows my working process and also the nature of my musical interests.
The album is by no means a fully fledged rock album, I have experimented with various musical forms over the years and this release was an opportunity to give the fans a record that reflected my search. The album I am beginning to make at the moment will be a new start. Twisted represents the end of the beginning if you like.

| 5. Who made you want to start singing? Anyone you would love to work with in the future if given the chance?
|
I loved Freddie Mercury, and still do. I wish I had a fraction of his wit, singing ability, and grace as a performer. Others would include David Coverdale, John Lennon.
I would love to work with Dave Grohl I think the guy is a phenomenal writer and performer. Also Jon Bon Jovi, he was THE nicest guy I met and worked with in the Angels days and was and still is a huge talent.
|
| 6. Why did Little Angels call it a day and what were the live highlights with the band?
|
Same sad answer
This ground is too heavily trodden and laboured to give a clear answer. Suffice to say we had reached the end of our journey. I loved every minute of being in that band…apart from the breaking up bit!
|
| 7. Would you ever consider reforming Little Angels or are you happy enough to play the Little Angels tunes as part of your solo touring?
|
I would never reform the band. Full stop. I love the songs and love performing them, but I don't want to live on my past forever, it is the creation of new music that interest me now and I am grateful for the opportunity to do so.
|
| 8. Which song(s) do you enjoy performing most live and why?
|
Don't have specific favourite, I love them all. I don't perform the ones I DON'T like!
|
| 9. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
|
Being with my family, Watching movies, wine, building stuff.
|
| 10. Message for our fans?
|
Love is what drives me to keep making music. Respect yourselves and respect to you from me for always being there. I exist because you want me to.
Peace is what I do it for. |
