Louise, welcome to Chatterbox. How are 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.239 you? Hello Louise. Hello, thank you. It's lovely 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.040 to be here, lovely to talk to you. And you, and 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.719 you. It's great to chat to you at last. Now, 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.019 you're quite established actually. You've got 00:01:52.019 --> 00:01:57.849 your sixth album coming out called LFA. Obviously 00:01:57.849 --> 00:02:00.030 that means there's been five albums before we've 00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:02.969 not talked about so tell us a little bit about 00:02:02.969 --> 00:02:05.290 what's got you to the sixth album and a little 00:02:05.290 --> 00:02:07.590 bit about your career so anyone that's not heard 00:02:07.590 --> 00:02:10.599 of you before gets an idea about you. Oh, thank 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.500 you. Yeah. So it's funny to me when it's like, 00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:16.280 wow, six records. How did that happen? But I 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.500 guess I started writing and recording when I'm 00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:22.159 from London, as you know, and I went to my local 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.039 studios in North London just to get an idea about 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.560 how studios worked and get a bit of experience 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.460 in that space rather than just at home. And through 00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:33.879 those guys, I met Boz Bora, who is best known 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.120 for being Morrissey's co -writer, musical director, 00:02:36.340 --> 00:02:39.020 guitarist for about three decades, I think he 00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:42.080 did. and so they introduced me to Boz and then 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.740 I moved over to New York and whilst I was out 00:02:44.740 --> 00:02:48.120 there he was on tour with Morrissey and we just 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.879 sort of met up and he kind of took me under his 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.039 wing a bit and he said to me you know if you 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.879 fancy doing some recording like I've got a studio 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.530 I'd be happy to kind of you know do some producing 00:02:58.530 --> 00:03:01.229 for you. So that's how I did my first record 00:03:01.229 --> 00:03:03.590 quite by chance, really. So I ended up doing 00:03:03.590 --> 00:03:06.610 a record that Boz produced at his studio out 00:03:06.610 --> 00:03:09.090 in Portugal. Funnily enough, he's got a beautiful 00:03:09.090 --> 00:03:12.270 studio out in the mountains in Portugal. So it's 00:03:12.270 --> 00:03:14.349 really beautiful. So I went out there and that's 00:03:14.349 --> 00:03:17.509 kind of how I got started and then did another 00:03:17.509 --> 00:03:20.270 record with him and then just kind of, you know, 00:03:20.389 --> 00:03:23.650 started. I was in New York for about 10 years, 00:03:24.250 --> 00:03:26.250 came back to London for a bit, then went to Los 00:03:26.250 --> 00:03:28.610 Angeles for about year and a half and whilst 00:03:28.610 --> 00:03:31.750 I was out there I did this latest record, wrote 00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:34.509 and recorded it out in California which is brilliant. 00:03:35.210 --> 00:03:37.509 Wonderful, yes, well it sounds quite impressive, 00:03:37.909 --> 00:03:42.509 just wandering out. Honestly, that's quite the 00:03:42.509 --> 00:03:44.430 story there, you didn't just end up out there 00:03:44.430 --> 00:03:46.550 one day to do this album. It's quite impressive 00:03:46.550 --> 00:03:50.229 to do that. I mean, everybody, the world and 00:03:50.229 --> 00:03:52.289 his wife have got a studio at home and producing 00:03:52.289 --> 00:03:56.550 at home, but you're going to the top studios 00:03:56.550 --> 00:04:00.469 in the world as it were, so there we go. Yeah, 00:04:00.590 --> 00:04:02.789 just really lucky, just happened to sort of meet 00:04:02.789 --> 00:04:04.830 people and got those opportunities. None of it 00:04:04.830 --> 00:04:06.689 was really by design, to be honest. I think I 00:04:06.689 --> 00:04:10.719 was just lucky with who I met. What about do 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.759 you do any live stuff or when you're in London 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:18.279 and that? When I was in New York, I used to play 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.639 live all the time. So I think it's really easy 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.060 in Manhattan because all the clubs, they're so 00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:25.399 close, downtown Manhattan, they're so close to 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.180 each other. It's obviously so much smaller than 00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:30.000 London and everyone knows everyone. You can walk 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.439 to all the different music venues. So it's kind 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.639 of really easy. So I used to play very regularly 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.759 whilst I was in New York. Did a few gigs back 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.980 in London, places like the 100 Club. and Brooklyn 00:04:39.980 --> 00:04:42.899 Bolt the 02 and Dublin Castle you know the usual 00:04:42.899 --> 00:04:46.139 kind of places around there which was cool. So 00:04:46.139 --> 00:04:48.519 but I haven't I haven't played recently but I'm 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.060 hoping to with this record it'll be good and 00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:53.560 it also be nice to play in in Los Angeles as 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.399 well seeing as where we recorded it but we're 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.399 just kind of working out you know kind of how 00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.529 that might happen. I also see, so you've got 00:05:01.529 --> 00:05:04.329 Keith Scott on guitars on some of this project 00:05:04.329 --> 00:05:07.470 now. He's best known as being Brian Adams guitarist 00:05:07.470 --> 00:05:11.449 since the late 70s. Wow. Yeah, Keith, he's amazing. 00:05:11.449 --> 00:05:13.949 Been one of the best stuff. Yeah, I hadn't met 00:05:13.949 --> 00:05:16.170 him before this record. So the guys that work 00:05:16.170 --> 00:05:18.509 on this record, I'd met some of them and not 00:05:18.509 --> 00:05:21.290 others. Hadn't met Keith, but yeah, he's amazing. 00:05:21.410 --> 00:05:23.769 I mean, any, all the Brian Adams songs that you 00:05:23.769 --> 00:05:25.709 know that that's Keith playing on there say he's 00:05:25.709 --> 00:05:28.290 been with him forever. So, and just. absolutely 00:05:28.290 --> 00:05:31.089 amazing guy and just like a really lovely Canadian. 00:05:31.550 --> 00:05:33.629 wonderful man, really can't speak highly of him 00:05:33.629 --> 00:05:35.490 enough. He's just he's just brilliant. I was 00:05:35.490 --> 00:05:37.949 so lucky to work with him. He he sort of got 00:05:37.949 --> 00:05:40.529 brought in by Solomon Walker, who's playing bass, 00:05:40.649 --> 00:05:43.470 who I did know through because he also played 00:05:43.470 --> 00:05:45.329 bass with Morrissey. So I'd met him through Boz 00:05:45.329 --> 00:05:48.149 in the past. But our producer, Ken Sluiter, works 00:05:48.149 --> 00:05:49.870 with Sol a lot. So it was one of those things 00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:52.730 where we all kind of knew. And then Sol suggested 00:05:52.730 --> 00:05:55.389 Keith, which, you know, is so, so happy about. 00:05:55.689 --> 00:05:58.850 So and then we have Roger Manning. he's so again 00:05:58.850 --> 00:06:03.850 he's played with kind of everyone really I saw 00:06:03.850 --> 00:06:05.709 him play with Beck at the Albert Hall last year 00:06:05.709 --> 00:06:08.189 over here which was amazing and you know the 00:06:08.189 --> 00:06:10.389 killers and all sorts and then Charlie Paxson 00:06:10.389 --> 00:06:13.589 on drums again didn't know Charlie but he's a 00:06:13.589 --> 00:06:16.250 kind of LA store war and he's out touring a lot 00:06:16.250 --> 00:06:18.350 with people like Belinda Carlisle, Smash Mouth 00:06:18.350 --> 00:06:21.230 those folks but he also drums on James Blunt's 00:06:21.230 --> 00:06:24.600 Back to Bedlam that huge record so That's Charlie. 00:06:24.860 --> 00:06:26.560 So I was surprised when I met him because he 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.060 didn't seem old enough. I'm like, wow, that was 00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:32.980 like 20 years ago or something. He was just amazing, 00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:34.779 like fantastic drummer. So yeah, just super, 00:06:34.819 --> 00:06:37.680 super lucky to kind of work with these guys really. 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.519 Sure, and Dave Collins mastering it and of course 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.779 he's worked with Madonna, The Police, Black Sabbath, 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.500 Bruce Springsteen and so it goes on. There's 00:06:48.500 --> 00:06:51.139 some quite fine stock there really, isn't there? 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:56.439 Really is. Okay, so we have got, make sure I 00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.019 get this round the right way, the single which 00:07:00.019 --> 00:07:04.540 is already available is Midnight Calls. Yes, 00:07:04.540 --> 00:07:09.689 that's right. What's the song about? This is 00:07:09.689 --> 00:07:12.930 the first song that I wrote. in Los Angeles really, 00:07:12.930 --> 00:07:16.170 and I wrote this record out there. It's pretty 00:07:16.170 --> 00:07:18.389 literal really. It was written whilst driving 00:07:18.389 --> 00:07:20.769 around Los Angeles trying to find somewhere to 00:07:20.769 --> 00:07:24.129 live. I was just so wide -eyed because I'd spent 00:07:24.129 --> 00:07:26.370 a lot of time in New York but not LA. I didn't 00:07:26.370 --> 00:07:28.470 know LA at all and it's obviously so different, 00:07:28.610 --> 00:07:30.970 such a different environment. You've got the 00:07:30.970 --> 00:07:32.569 palm trees and the beach and the mountains and 00:07:32.569 --> 00:07:35.509 everything's there and Hollywood's there. It 00:07:35.509 --> 00:07:38.810 was really written just driving around and the 00:07:38.810 --> 00:07:41.209 chorus talks about the Hollywood Hills and just 00:07:41.129 --> 00:07:43.970 and making those calls back home really but it's 00:07:43.970 --> 00:07:45.829 it was really about just being on the edge of 00:07:45.829 --> 00:07:48.509 something new and being in a new city and seeing 00:07:48.509 --> 00:07:50.370 what like new experiences there were going to 00:07:50.370 --> 00:07:53.189 be so for me it kind of set up the record which 00:07:53.189 --> 00:07:56.490 is why we've kind of released it first yeah sure 00:07:56.490 --> 00:08:01.050 um okay and uh the album this is your sixth studio 00:08:01.050 --> 00:08:07.110 album and uh lfa yes the name of it when can 00:08:07.110 --> 00:08:09.430 we expect that to be released when was that due 00:08:09.430 --> 00:08:12.629 for release It will be in the summer probably 00:08:12.629 --> 00:08:16.050 around about August time. We've got a new single 00:08:16.050 --> 00:08:19.610 coming out next month called Vienna and then 00:08:19.610 --> 00:08:21.389 after that we'll be having the full album so 00:08:21.389 --> 00:08:23.649 likely to be sort of early to mid -August that'll 00:08:23.649 --> 00:08:27.439 be coming out. Okay. Now also, I think it's in 00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.620 your career in general, rather than just this 00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:31.939 single, because that's came out on the 8th. I 00:08:31.939 --> 00:08:35.360 think, well, there's some amazing feats here. 00:08:35.379 --> 00:08:38.000 Long before you got played on Chatterbox and 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.820 Radio North Sea International and things like 00:08:39.820 --> 00:08:43.679 that, you used to do a play, this is very impressive, 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:49.960 BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, Kerrang!, BBC London, 00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:54.470 so that's a pretty... good start isn't it really 00:08:54.470 --> 00:08:56.110 well it's not a start because you started a long 00:08:56.110 --> 00:08:58.529 time ago but that's a pretty good uh you know 00:08:58.529 --> 00:09:00.929 basis to get this album sent out to as well i 00:09:00.929 --> 00:09:04.070 guess yeah exactly so yeah again just really 00:09:04.070 --> 00:09:06.610 lucky uh i remember we did i think for a couple 00:09:06.610 --> 00:09:08.169 of records though we did we did a session with 00:09:08.169 --> 00:09:09.789 bbc london with gabby ross thing so that was 00:09:09.789 --> 00:09:12.870 really nice because it was one of those um shows 00:09:12.870 --> 00:09:14.549 where everybody's kind of in the room and there's 00:09:14.549 --> 00:09:16.990 a lot of interaction so it's like a kind of acoustic 00:09:16.990 --> 00:09:19.129 set so that was nice but yeah it's always nice 00:09:19.129 --> 00:09:22.240 to get you know some air play oh Who's this? 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.100 Every time we do an interview.

Cheddar Box! 00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:10.779 Tell me Louise, when it comes to Midnight Rocks, 00:14:10.820 --> 00:14:13.549 now you've got that amazing, fabulous team. with 00:14:13.549 --> 00:14:16.110 you, obviously behind you, but with you. Now, 00:14:16.350 --> 00:14:19.309 do you go to them and tell them how you want 00:14:19.309 --> 00:14:22.250 it to sound, or are they advising you, or is 00:14:22.250 --> 00:14:25.370 it a mixture, or how does what I'm listening 00:14:25.370 --> 00:14:28.129 to today sound to what you had in your mind when 00:14:28.129 --> 00:14:32.049 you wrote it? I think it's pretty similar. It's 00:14:32.049 --> 00:14:34.210 interesting because quite often I think, oh, 00:14:34.210 --> 00:14:36.389 I might want to do more of our, I don't know, 00:14:36.629 --> 00:14:38.649 acoustic or rock or different thing, but what 00:14:38.649 --> 00:14:42.299 I find is that... it almost always just kind 00:14:42.299 --> 00:14:45.159 of sounds like me and I think the sound across 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:48.250 those six albums pretty similar. Obviously, there 00:14:48.250 --> 00:14:51.090 are differences in studios, in producers, but 00:14:51.090 --> 00:14:54.970 I think when I write the stuff, the way I write 00:14:54.970 --> 00:14:56.850 is I just write the music and lyrics, put down 00:14:56.850 --> 00:14:59.409 a demo, but I put everything on it that I want. 00:14:59.590 --> 00:15:01.309 I'll program the drums, I'll put the guitar, 00:15:01.370 --> 00:15:02.970 the bass, the keys, the percussion, everything 00:15:02.970 --> 00:15:06.009 that's in my head. Just very rudimentary, obviously. 00:15:06.110 --> 00:15:08.090 That's why I have these amazing players. I can't 00:15:08.090 --> 00:15:10.769 possibly play that all stuff, but I can put it 00:15:10.769 --> 00:15:13.309 down as a demo and then I'll take it to my producer. 00:15:14.450 --> 00:15:17.039 But yeah, and I think the sound, I think it's 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:18.720 just developed because I think it just sounds 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.159 like me. So but yeah, I sort of take, you know, 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.059 they'll listen to the demo, sometimes they'll, 00:15:24.059 --> 00:15:26.289 you know, if there's like a like a baseline soul 00:15:26.289 --> 00:15:28.029 would say, actually, that baseline works, I'm 00:15:28.029 --> 00:15:30.070 just going to follow it. Or he'll say, actually, 00:15:30.250 --> 00:15:32.029 I, you know, I think this will work. And I'm 00:15:32.029 --> 00:15:34.370 like, please, you know, I'm very happy to take 00:15:34.370 --> 00:15:36.169 any input, because that's why you've got these 00:15:36.169 --> 00:15:38.710 amazing musicians. So, you know, whatever they 00:15:38.710 --> 00:15:41.389 want to add. Absolutely. It's great. But I think 00:15:41.389 --> 00:15:44.929 I think the sound Yeah, I don't know how to describe 00:15:44.929 --> 00:15:47.519 it apart from Yeah, that's just how it seems 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.879 to turn out, you know, and that's just like my 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.500 sound, I guess. Yeah. Brilliant. And do you have, 00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:56.299 you actually got homes both sides of the pond 00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:59.019 now, you have it permanently, so you can get 00:15:59.019 --> 00:16:01.200 one side to the other. Is that permanent residence 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.299 over in LA? Personal question, don't it? I haven't 00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:13.139 asked you the address, have I? I haven't got 00:16:13.139 --> 00:16:16.620 permanent homes, but I go back and forth. I'm 00:16:16.620 --> 00:16:19.399 lucky enough to be able to do that. I was going 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:21.870 to go with it. Excellent. Where I was going to 00:16:21.870 --> 00:16:25.429 go with it is, I mean, is it a question of you 00:16:25.429 --> 00:16:28.629 want some influence for songs and you get to 00:16:28.629 --> 00:16:30.210 the other side of the pond and get what you want, 00:16:30.809 --> 00:16:33.090 or does it work like that at all? Yeah, it can 00:16:33.090 --> 00:16:34.850 do it. I mean, certainly for this record, yeah, 00:16:35.029 --> 00:16:36.570 that's really interesting you said that actually, 00:16:36.649 --> 00:16:38.370 because definitely for this record it was good. 00:16:38.649 --> 00:16:41.490 It was born a bit out of like post -COVID, I 00:16:41.490 --> 00:16:43.830 guess, because I'd come, I was in New York, I'd 00:16:43.830 --> 00:16:46.350 come back to London, I was doing my previous 00:16:46.350 --> 00:16:50.269 album, and then we had to finish that. remotely, 00:16:50.269 --> 00:16:52.990 you know, because we got into lockdown, which 00:16:52.990 --> 00:16:54.809 is how I actually hooked up with the guys in 00:16:54.809 --> 00:16:57.389 Los Angeles, because as everyone was remote anyway, 00:16:57.970 --> 00:16:59.929 I reached out to a couple of people and people 00:16:59.929 --> 00:17:02.409 were kind of, especially musicians, a lot of 00:17:02.409 --> 00:17:04.650 their livelihood had kind of gone from, you know, 00:17:04.829 --> 00:17:07.349 touring and, you know, booking and playing, etc. 00:17:07.410 --> 00:17:10.170 So people were like really keen to work, you 00:17:10.170 --> 00:17:11.990 know, so I was lucky enough, that's when I hooked 00:17:11.990 --> 00:17:13.970 up with Ken and Roger for the first time on my 00:17:13.970 --> 00:17:17.180 previous record. And then they sort of said, 00:17:17.220 --> 00:17:18.420 Oh, you know, what if you want to do something 00:17:18.420 --> 00:17:21.180 in person? So I'm like, an exit and post COVID 00:17:21.180 --> 00:17:24.299 I thought the Los Angeles very appealing because 00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:26.660 like say you can be outside so much more because 00:17:26.660 --> 00:17:28.319 mainly because the weather you've got beautiful 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.539 weather kind of the whole year, whereas London 00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:32.900 and New York, you're so on top of each other. 00:17:33.059 --> 00:17:35.160 It's such crazy, you know, there's so many people 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:38.980 in such a small, you know, space. So Los Angeles 00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:41.279 seemed like a good place to kind of be able to 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.160 just get that space and be outside more and it 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.960 definitely inspired me with the writing because 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:48.299 I hadn't I'd only been out there I think a couple 00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:50.400 of times previously and not for any length of 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.400 time so I think just being in a new environment 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:55.839 it really yeah it really did inspire me like 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.160 to just kind of like get a different input yeah 00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:02.880 yeah and the album cover looks quite interesting 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.890 uh well now is that your ideas was that was that 00:18:06.890 --> 00:18:08.890 just I want to look like that that's what I'm 00:18:08.890 --> 00:18:11.250 going to do I'm going to look away so I'm watching 00:18:11.250 --> 00:18:14.349 something is that 100 % yours or has someone 00:18:14.349 --> 00:18:17.750 advised you on how the the cover should look 00:18:17.750 --> 00:18:22.210 yeah no it's just you know there wasn't 100 % 00:18:22.210 --> 00:18:23.730 of thought behind it if I'm honest it's just 00:18:23.730 --> 00:18:25.630 like you do photo shoots and you just kind of 00:18:25.630 --> 00:18:27.950 look at what what might work afterwards you know 00:18:27.950 --> 00:18:30.069 it's like you have like hundreds of photos and 00:18:30.069 --> 00:18:32.710 most of them you think oh my god you know do 00:18:32.710 --> 00:18:34.549 I really look like that and then you have a few 00:18:34.549 --> 00:18:37.990 that you like so no I just I just liked those 00:18:37.990 --> 00:18:40.619 ones to be to be honest there wasn't too much 00:18:40.619 --> 00:18:41.920 thought, I'll be honest, not too much thought 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.960 behind that.

So and if I'm honest like my the 00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:13.230 people that I really really love uh not really 00:19:13.230 --> 00:19:15.809 around anymore i'm very i've got a really old 00:19:15.809 --> 00:19:18.309 old soul i think because part of the attraction 00:19:18.309 --> 00:19:20.890 goes los angeles i love old hollywood like i 00:19:20.890 --> 00:19:23.349 wrote a whole album inspired by carrie grant 00:19:23.349 --> 00:19:25.829 films for example which is kind of a bit like 00:19:25.829 --> 00:19:28.190 you wouldn't really expect that so you know frank 00:19:28.190 --> 00:19:31.029 Sinatra Elvis Presley those kind of people you 00:19:31.029 --> 00:19:35.069 know just my absolute heroes so but the i'm not 00:19:35.069 --> 00:19:37.349 i can't think of anyone like currently i mean 00:19:37.349 --> 00:19:39.930 obviously i'd love to you know play or tour with 00:19:39.930 --> 00:19:41.910 anyone but there's there's not anyone in particular 00:19:41.910 --> 00:19:44.970 that i just sort of say but um but yeah but i 00:19:44.970 --> 00:19:46.230 think just people i have worked with have been 00:19:46.230 --> 00:19:50.430 amazing i appreciate we haven't got the the album 00:19:50.430 --> 00:19:52.869 lfa out yet but i've got to ask you what's next 00:19:52.869 --> 00:19:56.269 for you What's next? Well, as I say, we've got 00:19:56.269 --> 00:19:58.170 a new single coming out next month, then the 00:19:58.170 --> 00:20:01.569 record and then hopefully some live gigs. But 00:20:01.569 --> 00:20:03.549 as I say, at the moment, we're just kind of working 00:20:03.549 --> 00:20:06.069 it all out. So I'm a bit in that kind of just 00:20:06.069 --> 00:20:08.210 just a bit loopy goosey stage. And I'm just trying 00:20:08.210 --> 00:20:10.150 to work out what might be right for the next 00:20:10.150 --> 00:20:12.549 for the rest of the year. But that's it will 00:20:12.549 --> 00:20:14.910 be largely based around like the album coming 00:20:14.910 --> 00:20:16.789 out and then doing some shows, I think. Yeah. 00:20:16.910 --> 00:20:19.549 and the shows obviously be a lot well there may 00:20:19.549 --> 00:20:21.690 be some in America but there'd be shows in the 00:20:21.690 --> 00:20:23.390 UK where people listening to this could come 00:20:23.390 --> 00:20:26.049 and see you yeah i hope so i mean i think we 00:20:26.049 --> 00:20:28.670 might start in LA just because the record was 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:30.900 I made there and and depending on who we can 00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:32.519 get I mean it would be wonderful if I could do 00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:34.900 some shows with with the band on it but I don't 00:20:34.900 --> 00:20:36.880 know because obviously they're very very busy 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:38.980 you know for example you know like Brian Adams 00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:42.779 tours constantly so um you know but anyway by 00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:44.539 the way it'll be good to show out there and then 00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:46.660 and then yeah over here also would be would be 00:20:46.660 --> 00:20:48.839 really nice and they were talking about a couple 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:51.279 of things in Europe as well because Charlie um 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:54.299 the drummer he plays a lot in Europe so yeah 00:20:54.299 --> 00:20:58.019 we'll see yeah and uh wonderful record label 00:20:58.019 --> 00:21:03.140 name uh Carrots Bone Records yeah it's different 00:21:03.140 --> 00:21:07.259 i love it yeah yeah yeah yeah no i love it too 00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:13.640 very good okay so uh i would I do ask this quite 00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:15.200 a lot. If you were to come back in six months 00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:16.799 or in years' time, what would you like to be 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:18.500 telling me you've achieved?
