I never picked up a guitar as a kid, partly because my dad didn't want the noise in our little back-to-back in Sheffield.

I have always been a sucker for ballads, but you have to be careful these days, you can't overload people.

I think the only thing I would've ever been any good at was probably being a pub landlord. I've thought of that a couple of times.

Europe is usually where I am usually galloping around.

A lot of times, it's nice to open, because the heat's off you. You just go out and blast your set and say to whoever's going to finish, 'There you go.' Even though when you first start, people are drifting in, and that's kind of a bit disconcerting.
