Transcript

 Below is the Questions I asked one member of the Band and Answers to them are below each one:
1.      How old were you when you first started to play music?
Days 10/11 was when I first started to enjoy Music a lot and probably started to play Music at the age of about 16/17.
2.      Who are your role models that have inspired you into doing what you do today?
Jimi Hendrix/My old guitar teacher, I think he is the main influence I am doing what I do today.
3.       Where do you see yourself to be in the next 5 years?
Hopefully still with these guys that are in my band now.
4.      Have you always wanted to go on to doing a career with music?
Yeah, it has been my dream job since I was about 10/11.
5.      With your singing carrier, have you been involved with any charity events?
Yeah, I do a few at the Poulton Victoria and Social Club.
6.      Is there anything else that you would like to happen in your career or that you are expecting to happen?
Hopefully get signed with the band I am in at the moment and go on to do further in the future.
7.      Do you think you have some fans that are attracted to you?
Well I hope not *laughed* weird question *laughed*.
8.      What do you think you will be doing now if you weren’t involved with Music?
Not sure to be fair, probably working with computers but as my dream job has always been to go on and do something to do with Music I haven’t ever thought about anything else.
9.      Have you got any bad habits?
Related to playing wise; I am a lazy picker and I’m not to fond with chords but you have to get on with it don’t you *laughed*.
10.  If you had an album what would you call it?
I would probably have it self titled, probably just our Band name.
11.  What is the biggest venue you have ever played at?
Floral Pavillion, I have played there a few times but our favourite venue we have ever played in is the o2 Arena that was a pretty big one for us.
12.  When you are on stage, what is going through your head/mind?
Probably, really just don’t mess up, remember all the words and to stay focused really.
13.  Do you write your own music?
Yeah, I do a lot of solo writing and band writing.
14.  How many instruments can you play?
6, I learnt to play them all through the family and through High School as my family are big fans of Music and school well we done Music from year 7 to year 9 so it was something that I loved learning and ever since I carried on learning to play different instruments.
15.  How do you think your practice went?
I think it went well, we all communicated which allows us to create new songs and this then prepares us to be ready for our next performance.
16.  Do you think that there is anything you think you can do to improve next time?
I’d say I think we should write down and learn the lyrics we are going to be playing, instead of choosing a song we would like to play but don’t really what the lyrics are.
17.  Do you wish to be known worldwide or would you be happy to keep it local?
Probably worldwide *laughed* it would be great to be known by loads of people and having loads of money, that would just be amazing!
