Breeze + TRASH + Plaza Live Review - O2 Institute Birmingham

This piece originally featured on Little Indie Blogs. Click here to go to the original post.

Breeze, TRASH and Plaza - three young, new bands hitting the indie music scene that you'll soon get used to hearing about. The trio have just completed a UK tour together, finishing in Leeds on Monday. For their Birmingham show tonight, it's a home gig for the headliner, and a bit of a distance for the others.


Kicking the night off was Plaza, a four-piece in their late teens from Hartlepool. A chilled, feel-good indie band with sounds resembling Brum's own Jaws, with a similar tendency and ability to create an energetic, reverb-heavy, upbeat track and the next minute induce your ears with an aura of dreamy blissfulness. 'Fickle' appeared a crowd favourite with a dramatic build-up at the start bursting with shots of summery vibes working up into a hazy pop tune. Latest track 'Totem' with its appealing intro also seems to have won fans prior to tonight.

Confidently making the most of their time on stage, Plaza piled on as much energy as possible in thd short space of their set, with vocalist Bradley Lennard's cap continuously falling off through his vigorous hair swishing and dancing.

The band surprisingly announced that it was their first time in Birmingham midway through their set, which could've gone unnoticed due to these guys successfully managing to make the place feel like their own. The set came to a close with their deceiving track - 'Antumbra' as the beginning would suggest a laid-back tone, however a build-up made itself present bursting into a forceful and unexpected drop with tight drum solos erupting into a break of euphoric infused noise.


Next to take the stage by storm were TRASH, a young emerging quartet from Chesterfield, and one of Little Indie's bands to watch in 2016. Beginning on the mellow note of '81', they soon built up more momentum by changing the pace with '4 Miles'; the fun-fuelled guitar rhythms present within this track and the catchy repetition of "come on", spurred on an already appreciative audience.

Many of their songs possessed the ability to appear optimistic, while hiding a deeper undercurrent to them with the lyrics, such as 'Sad Boys (All I Wanna Do)': the subject matter appearing to be the feelings that come after a break-up, but a fast-paced loop giving it a move-on-your-feet vibe. Likewise, new single  the four-minute 'Workout' which meshes catchy indie pop, fierce guitar and driving bass with a lyric that tells of angsty times and the seeking of a cure through an alcohol daze. 'Hot Coffee' - their most listened to track on Soundcloud with an impressive 14k-plus streams - ended their set quite nicely as even the mention of the title of the track from the band caused a reaction from the crowd.


Bringing the night to an impressive close was Birmingham's own four-piece, Breeze - doing their hometown proud, it has to be said. They chose tonight to open up with a song they had not only never performed live before, but was so new it has only just been completed and was still without a title. A brave move, but one that proved itself with its dreamy, yet infectious nature - something that this band seem to have no lack of.

Their contagious, dream-pop tunes such as 'Luna Love Me Good' delivered nothing but positive vibes to the high spirited and impatient crowd; entailing the kind of empowering chorus that will be bouncing off the walls in your head for days on end. The effortless vocals of frontman Paul Baker added a sense of uniqueness to their sound, especially prominent in their glittery surf-pop track 'Bleach'. The band played on relentlessly through the night, so much so that Baker's guitar strap broke halfway through a song.

Breeze topped off the night their cover of Dardude's 'Sandstorm', which may sound unusual but they totally made it work as they put their own spin on the song making it sound like it could have easily come from their own cannon. The crowd's response seemed to fuel the band's energy and stage presence even more with bassist Jorge encouraging fans to come up on stage and Baker throwing his mic with the stand into the crowd mid-song.

Overall, the whole night left you with twinges of euphoria as if summer had come a few months early. Make sure to catch all these three bands live soon.

Sundara Karma Interview, Birmingham - round two

Sundara Karma, a new, unstoppable Reading based band who have been on a roll this year so far with their success only increasing. Comparisons have been made to the likes of Arcade Fire with their undeniably euphoric tracks, all possessing potential arena sing-a-longs. The four-piece have become a familiar name within the new indie scene and have recently been supporting Wolf Alice, recording their debut album and are due to be supporting Nothing But Thieves soon; all building up for the band's deserved slot on the mainstage this year at Reading Festival.

I previously interviewed the band back in October 2015 where I introduced them to my blog (click here to read) and they were currently undertaking their first ever headline tour. A lot has happened since seeing these guys last so I decided to catch up with them once again last Tuesday at The Rainbow in Birmingham the afternoon before yet another sold out show on their current second headline tour.

So, it's only been less than half a year since the last time I saw you guys and a lot has happened since such as supporting Wolf Alice on their European tour. How was that for you?

It was wicked. We did about six shows with them which was a whole load of fun, I think Amsterdam was a stand out show for us - that was crazy. We learnt a lot with them as we talked a lot about the live set up and the preferred way of doing a show. Also, just from watching them every night as you pick up certain things.  It was just cool to get back into Europe again as it's such a different market and territory over there. It felt weird coming back here from that especially as we were supporting Wolf Alice so of course it's different from doing your own shows. As different as it was it's nice to come back to do your own shows cos everyone's always really up for it and our shows are getting insane at the minute.

Do you have any memorable tour stories that you could share?

We have many I'm just not too sure if any of them are suitable to say...We played in Sheffield and we had a really sort of... crazy night after the show and so for the show the next day we were all just diluted versions of ourselves. Haydn was the absolute worst - I'm certain he was still drunk when we played the show the night after. I didn't actually see any pictures from that night but I remember looking over at Haydn on stage and he just looked terrified.

Can you tell me a bit about your newest release - 'A Young Understanding'?

It seems to be doing really well, people are really responding well to it live which is cool. It's the first track of the album, which we've named 'A Young Understanding'. Hopefully it gives people a little bit more of an insight of what our next releases will be like. It's just a tune really, it's a song for the kids.

I quite like the cover artwork for the song too, where did that come from?

Yeah it's cool isn't it? It's by a guy called Hamish Robertson who's an artist from LA. We're working with him to design some other covers such as our album cover.

And of course the music video was released not so long ago. It's quite unusual, where did the idea for that come from?

It was purely down to the director - Oscar. We all knew we wanted to create a funny and light-hearted video for this one and he just came back with the best idea and it was like yeah, this guy's got it. We were lucky as a lot of the time you get people coming back to you with ideas for the video and they don't quite match up to how you thought it would be, but this one was pretty much spot on.

I saw a video on your Twitter of you guys playing 'A Young Understanding' live in Manchester the other night, it looked pretty crazy!

It was! That was such a huge stand out show. That was a moment for us I think, actually.

When can we expect the album?

After festival season I think. We're kind of thinking September at the minute but there's nothing set in stone.

I have a quickfire round for you now as I know we don't have much time, so...

Festival preparation in three words?

 Lots Of Vodka

Three go-to pick-me-up songs?

Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys, Jamming, Bob Marley and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

Three songs that have been on repeat in the van on tour?

Rockstar - Nickelback, I Believe In A Thing Called Love - The Darkness and Butterfly - Crazy Town

Two good things and one bad thing about touring?

It's all good! Free food, free beer and.. there's nothing bad really

Which three people would you invite round for dinner?

Dead or alive? I'd have to say Gandhi, Hitler and Jim Morrison

What would you cook for them?

I can't really cook anything. I mean Gandhi was a vegetarian so um.. (picks up list of catering choices for the night) I'd have to say a nice Moroccan casserole.

Favourite lyric from one of your songs?

It's probably different for all of us but mine (Oscar) is 'He cut his heart out to be cool cos everybody loves a criminal'. That's from a song that isn't out yet, though.

If you all had to get matching tattoos, what would they be?

Well we all already have our sun logo on us somewhere but if we didn't then it would probably be like a massive picture Hayden's face or our tour manager Nick's face.

If you could only play one song repeatedly throughout the entirety of a live show, which one would it be?

Our new song Olympia - definitely. Again, that song isn't out yet but we're playing it tonight and have been playing it across the tour so far. We might just play it ten times over tonight cos of that question.

So, what makes a song stand out to you that makes you want to put it on your set lists?

Money. All the money we'd get for it! No but really I think a feeling, if it feels right then we'll put it on and if it just doesn't feel right then we'll leave it out; I think it's usually pretty easy to tell. We get bored of songs quite quickly as well so the newer it is then the more likely it is that it'll be on there.

What does the next few weeks/ months hold for Sundara Karma?

We're going back into the studio soon to record one more song for the album. We have our next single that's gonna be coming out soon which is also from the album so we're just gonna be rolling them out. We're going to be back on tour with Nothing But Thieves. Also, we're playing Reading festival again this year and we're on mainstage which is just insane; it's so weird even just saying it now. After that the album will be close to coming out so I guess we're just doing a load of preparation for the album now until then.

Myself with the band

Swim Deep Live Review - The Dome, London

Swim Deep front-man Austin - photo by me
This piece originally featured on Little Indie Blogs. Click here to go to the original post.  

After the dreamy, romantic blissfulness of their first album 'Where The Heaven Are We', Swim Deep surprised us all by taking a completely new direction with the drop of their highly anticipated second work, 'Mothers', late last year. It's always good to see a band that isn't afraid to push their own limits and take risks with confidence in their own unpredictability. I think it's no insult for a band to hear that they're 'hard to categorise'. When I interviewed the band's keys man James Balmont at the time of 'Mothers' release, he told me how he felt it was important "not to be bookmarked alongside one particular artist. As long as people struggle to do that for our sound, then I think it means we must be doing something different and that’s what we want to do really - we just want to be Swim Deep".

Judging by their performance tonight at London's sold out Dome as part of the NME Awards Shows tour, I think they've achieved exactly that.

Sweat front-man: Mike - photo by me 
Warmimg up the night early on were newcomers south-London's Sweat, who successfully fired up the crowd with an enticing set. Their individuality is what struck me most when seeing and hearing their set with their capability of pulling off their unusual indie meets 80s synth-y dance vibe, similar to the likes of Jagwar Ma. Frontman Mike definitely created a cutting edge look for the band, adding to the appeal with his indefinable stage presence as a dramatic entrance was made as he appeared in sunglasses and a white overcoat. It would seem that putting on a show visually and capturing the attention of the crowd, to say the least, was just as important to this band as sounding good.

It was difficult not to be completely engrossed when watching their performance through fear of looking away as you might miss something. Overall, I was left really impressed; they're doing their own thing in the new music scene. After a set which included their just released debut single 'Be Complete' along with 'Tambourine', it ended with the dramatic throwing of the mic stand and tambourine that was casually held next to him throughout the performance, adding to the sheer air of confidence this 'sweaty' outfit exude.

Catholic Action front-man Chris: photo by me
Next to the stage was Glaswegian four-piece Catholic Action. I had heard about this band before due to the praise and hype that other bands within the current indie music scene were giving them - such as tonight's headliners, for example. With a tight and refined performance of their lively tune 'L.U.V', an Adam and The Ants meets 70s glam rock track, it was hair-swishing galore as vocalist Chris McCrory mumbled through a veil of his locks: "I've had it cut since I was here last, but I still can't see a thing."

After growing anticipation, the lights went down and the familiar surge of frantic fans pushing towards the front took over. The stage was polluted with smoke and hazy blue lighting as a guy (who looked as if he could've been in the band) strolled onstage playing the trumpet, to be followed moments later by the Brummie four-piece themselves, making an assured entrance. Regardless of the fact that the band now seem centred around London, they'd clearly stayed true to their roots with frontman Austin Williams promptly throwing a "Y'am alright?" at the crowd; proving -  you can take the B-town scene band member out of B-town but can't take the B-town scene out of the band member.

The sheer enthusiasm from both the band and crowd seemed too much for the size of the venue; the fact that this was their longest set ever with 15 songs played -including ‘Namaste’, ‘One Great Song And I Could Change The World’ and 'Is There Anybody Out There' - from both albums, added an even bigger sense of excitement for the band. It was clear to see their humbleness was still very much intact with Austin slurring out several "thank you's" between songs and insisting: "You don't know how grateful we are, It's nice to see that people are actually having a dance as well."

It was hard to keep a fibre in your body still as the euphoric first few bass notes of old classics 'Honey' and the synth heavy fan favourite 'King City' gave the intimate venue a run for its money, as if a go-ahead for a bigger outburst of energy. I was intrigued to know how the crowds would react to some of their newer material live but knowingly, as this  was the second time seeing them live since their album release, although creating a different feel in comparison to their older songs, they still had just as much of an impact. From hearing older album tracks such as 'She Changes The Weather' and 'Red Lips I Know' you’d be deceived by expecting a rather mellow and laid-back vibe when played live, but the band and crowd completely over-ran expectations as the response from both Swim Deep and the audience couldn’t have been more lively with the ecstatic crowd shouting back the lines from old classics as if it was second nature to them.

As they draw 90 minutes to a regal close on 'Fueiho Boogie' - which indeed everyone was by this time, boogieing - you simply couldn't fault their drive, enthusiasm, and the quality of their songs. With a headline US tour in the offing, you can already see Swim Deep being another proud British export to our American cousins.

The Magic Gang - The 100 Club - Live Review

This piece originally featured on Little Indie Blogs. Click here to go to the original post.

At London's legendary 100 Club, the NME Awards Shows 2016 tour continues; on this particular Monday night it was the turn of Brighton foursome The Magic Gang to take centre stage as headliners for the sold-out show.

Kicking the night off to a promising start, Tempesst and Willie J Healey took to the stage in their respective support slots. Tempesst, a duo consisting of two brothers from Australia, created a moody and sleazy vibe to the night with their hazy sound, similar to Tame Impala. Willie J Healey and his band instantly engaged the crowd with his established stage presence and his songs creating a vibe not too dissimilar to that of Jamie T’s.

It was then the turn of the night's big draw. With comparisons made to The Beach Boys due to their dreamy, carefree surf-pop sound style, The Magic Gang naturally ratcheted up fan enthusiasm levels, with more than one member of the audience spending more time on stage with the band than on the floor. The excitement was almost too much for the band at times as they genuinely seemed overwhelmed at the reaction they were receiving, leading to bassist Gus Taylor attempting to convince the crowd to settle down, insisting that he was doing his job as the "typical chilled and calm bassist".  Even the famous faces in amongst the crowd, such as Swim Deep frontman Austin Williams, seemed to relishing the band on stage - demonstrating the kind of kudos and following The Magic Gang have accumulated.

Despite the overwhelming atmosphere there was a sense of unity that the band seemed to create. Frontman Jack Kaye also favourably took the time to give a shout-out to Girls Against, the new movement enforcing the safety for people at gigs against sexual harassment.

Their set list consisted of older tunes and new, unheard material. Normally, hearing the words 'we are now going to play some of our new songs' can fill the crowd with dread and instantly kill the enthusiasm. However, when Jack excitedly, but reservedly, made his announcement, it was a completely different story. It was almost as if those very words were the go-ahead for the crowd to resort to even more wild enthusiasm than they had previously shown, and all the new songs subsequently being well-received.

But nothing could quite compare during the evening to those first notes of the pulsing and distinctive bass riff of crowd favourite ‘No Fun’, the build-up of anticipation amongst the crowd being so strong, you could practically smell it. It was difficult to hear the band over the screaming voices of the audience who belted out their undeniably most recognised song with heartfelt passion.

What was unusual, yet refreshing, was to see that the band's live performances appear to be truly a real team effort. Although frontman Jack is primarily the lead vocalist, all members of this very magical gang were involved at different points in the sharing of mic duties.

Going by their show tonight, if you get the chance to see these guys live, then I would highly recommend you do.

Telegram Live Review - Hare and Hounds, Birmingham

This piece originally featured on Little Indie Blogs. Click here to go to the original post.

When asked to whizz along to catch the glam-rock stompin' outfit that is London's Telegram, I have to admit going into this not knowing what to expect. However, if I felt like that going in, I left in no doubt about what I had just seen.

Thursday night at the Hare & Hounds in Kings Heath, saw the rather snug venue begin to fill up quite nicely as the four-piece piled onto its tiny stage. A roar of a riff became present as the band took on their opening song ‘Rule Number One’ with an aura of sheer confidence and presence the like of which one would expect from the likes of Telegram who have been strutting their stuff on stages for almost three years.

The catchy tunes felt well rehearsed and the band sounded tight as they were confidently led by charismatic frontman Matt Saunders. Charging from one psych-rock blinder to the next,  including recent single 'Taffy Come Home', hardly coming up for air. Whilst they definitely produced a unique psychedelic sound with a 70s vibe, there was also a comforting feeling of familiarity about them, perhaps in part due to Saunders' resemblance to a Welsh Brian Ferry.

The thing that caught my attention the most, however, was the way the songs had such a different feel to them, with their sound almost being like a drone with nothing too complex about each one. There's nothing wrong with a bit of simplicity sometimes and this just seemed to add to the appeal.

As they finished their over-too-soon set with an electrifying performance of 'Folly' - which wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Led Zep album - I walked out of the venue gig feeling completely overwhelmed, excited - and with a need to check out more of their music.

With their debut album 'Operator' just released, and US dates - including a showcase slot at SXSW in Texas next month - upcoming, you can only feel that this is a band now gathering momentum. Check them out if you haven't, you may well be - pleasantly - surprised.

VITAMIN free in-store performance at Cow Birmingham

Photo taken by me
New indie-pop band from Leeds, VITAMIN have been visiting UK Cow Vintage stores within the past week and have been putting on free, intimate in-store performances. Last Wednesday the band made an appearance in the Birmingham Cow store so I decided to come along.

If you're new to this band, their sound consists of summery, up-beat vibes with their songs involving simple yet catchy lines and chirpy, looped synth rhythms. Each track inherits clever tempo changes throughout, creating an optimistic buildup shortly followed by a contagious and harmonious chorus.

Following support slots from bands such as Ratboy and Sundara Karma, the band have evidently established a fan base across the country with the impressive turnouts from their in-store appearances. Their short but energy fueled four track setlist consisted of both new and older releases, each one appreciated by the audience who stood in admiration. However, the stripped back feel of the show didn't seem to hold the band back as they were still able to create an impressive presence and were just as good to watch as they were to listen to. The band's liveliness and enthusiasm could not have been faulted as they managed to make the shop appear more like a music venue and created a unique vibe throughout the store.

Photo credit to Itunes
Once the performance was over, fans swarmed over to the rack of free VITAMIN t-shirts and bags for the band to sign whilst having a chat with the members and have photos taken. The band welcomed their fans with their friendly attitudes and welcomed a few familiar faces from attending their previous gigs.

The band's newest single - This Isn't Love, released earlier this month, cleverly entails their prominent theme of the band's successful delivery of euphoric feelings and colourful sounding riffs with snappy hooks - despite the opposing meaning within the lyrics. You can buy This Isn't Love by clicking HERE on Itunes or you can have a listen HERE first on YouTube.

An Interview With Get Inuit

Photo cred - www.bittersweetsymphonies.co,uk
Get Inuit, an exciting, new, slightly heavier take on guitar-pop emerging from Kent, UK. The fourpiece are currently on their UK headline tour, have released two EP's and four singles and are already becoming the masters of catchy hooks and unmistakable riffs that will be left bouncing off the walls in your head for ages after listening to them. It's difficult to 'label' these guys or categorise them too much as although they would seem to fall under the dirty-pop genre, nothing compares to the unique and intriguing vocals of front man Jamie; however, if you're into the likes of Vampire Weekend then you're sure to like this band. I stuck around after my interview with these guys to catch their performance at The Sunflower Lounge and I was thoroughly impressed with their set. As each song begun, a feeling of unpredictability became apparent as each song was as refreshing as the other and no two songs could have been mistaken for eachother; the only thing you're sure of when watching these guys is that it's gonna be powerful hit after hit. Although the band have only been together for two years, I was impressed with how refined and tight they sounded on stage. My favourite song played was without a doubt 'Barbiturates' as it entailed a sense of bravery with constant adrenaline fuelled build ups throughout which lead to a powerful note from Jamie and the occasional hearty scream now and then. I would certainly recommend seeing this band live and I'm placing my bets now that they'll be big this year. Read my interview with the band below:


What made you want to start writing music?
Jamie: I wasn't really good at anything else. I didn't want to go to college or uni and this was the only thing I was bothered about. And so, what feels like an eternity later, here we are now.

So I've just seen on twitter today that you've been announced as a support act for Vant, how do you guys feel about that?
Jamie: Brilliant! We've been gunning for some more support tours. The last one we did was with Broken Hands which was such a fun time. We just really want to get our name out there. We really love Vant at the moment and there's a big hype with them and we're all buzzing; like today - we were singing their songs in the van. It's fun to play with bands like them that are on the rise but it's even better to play with bands that you actually really enjoy and we've listened to Vant a lot, way before any talk of touring together came about so it's really cool. We've also been listening to Tigercub, we're playing one show with them but I really like them, too.

Is there anyone who you'd like to support or have as a support for your own shows?
Jamie: The only people who we really wanted to support us are Fish Tank so we asked them and now they're supporting us on this tour. There's also a band called Skies  who are also from Kent, we kind of keep it quite local as it's mainly Kent bands. However, I've seen that Pixies have been announced to play Brixton so I'm gunning for that, I bet every other guitar band in England is probably going to wanna do the same but yeah.

The name - Get Inuit. That's quite an unusual one, where did that come from?
Jamie: Yeah it is quite strange. Oliver came up with it randomly and it made us laugh and I guess that's it really. We knew from the start that it was a bit of a stupid name, no offence Oliver, but if you type it into Google it's the first thing that comes up so that's good.

Photo cred - www.bbc.co.uk
Your newest release - 'My Oh My' follows your up-beat, fast paced style that you're known for. What was the process behind that?
Jamie: That's quite an odd one because it's actually the first ever Get Inuit song. Me and Ollie worked on that about two and a half years ago but we never did anything with it. We just didn't feel like it suited our sound but then we thought - well why don't we make it fit our sound? So we re-recorded it, added a theremin and it fits perfectly now with us.
James: The idea of that song is that we were doing a 60's Beach Boys/ The Beatles thing so we wanted to try and explore that a bit. I mean, we try but me and Rob don't quite have the voice like Jamie does.
Jamie: I have the most feminine, high pitched voice so to try and harmonise with these two is pretty tough. They can do low ones but when I tell Rob that he has to go higher than me you can just hear him sigh. It's quite a good one to play live, too as it gets the people going.

Do you have a favourite song to play live?
Jamie: We have a song called Barbiturates which I wouldn't say was my favourite but it's always the one that seems to be the most well recieved, it always causes a reaction, weather it's good or bad. It's one that I get excited about because when we get to the end of it we know weather we've had a good show or not judging by the audience's reaction because it's either really good or a bit, scared? because it's quite a strange song but it'll most likely be on our album.

Obviously your setlist is changing all the time due to new releases but is there anything that makes a song stand out in particular for you to want to include it on there?
Jamie: I think it'll often jump out at us in the rehearsal room because obviously we rehearse the songs a lot before playing them live and it becomes pretty clear. But sometimes it's hard to say 'that's gonna be brilliant' or 'we need to work on that a lot' like I don't think there's ever a right or wrong answer with that one because a lot of the time, the ones we really struggle with are worth it at the end but some of them you instantly know I think. Don't you think it's weird as well how bands are always the most excited about playing new songs? I mean so am I but the crowds never really seem to. It's almost like a weird juxtaposition by playing a brand new song because you know you'll enjoy it but they won't so it's like - are you doing it for yourself or are you doing it for them?

Is there anything you'd like people to be able to take away with them after listening to your music?
Jamie: Hopefully, guitar music is still alive and we're not playing a retro genre. I think it's coming back though with bands like Vant and Spring King, definitely. But I think for people to realise that you don't have to be loving music from the 90's to love this kind of music. Obviously there's influences there but that we're not old relics I guess - even though we might look like it, but not the lead singer cos he moisturises of course.
(enter random discussion about moisturisers these days and weather or not they protect the bunny rabbits)

So, I heard you briefly mention the album earlier, what can you tell me about that?
Jamie: It's still very early days for us but we were very fortunate enough to recieve a grant from the PRS Foundation which funded us so we could record our album this year. We're taking things very slowly because we don't want to rush into things; which obviously is an important thing cos there's no point in releasing an album if no one's gonna hear it. after this tour we're going to have a couple of days practice to start getting some ideas together and then go into recording. It's very exciting but I'm terrified. I've never done anything like this before in my life. I had to quit my job at Christmas so I could do this so it's like I'm constantly questioning weather or not the songs are good enough - if I'm not talking then that's what I'm doing.

Other than the album, what do you have planned after this?
James: We're going to Texas
Jamie: Oh yeah! We're going to SXSW which we only found out about last week, which is...
James: Pretty exciting
Jamie: ... Terrifying!
James: There's a lot of great new bands doing it so it's gonna be fun cos we've never really been abroad before as a band.
Jamie: I've never been to America before, I've barely been outside of the UK so I'm a bit nervous but James is gonna show me the ropes.
James: Always look the other way when crossing the road

Finally, where would be your dream place to play?
James: I'd love to do a tour of America, that'd be amazing
Jamie: I'd like to tour Japan because that seems huge. It's such a long way away though but I've always wanted to go.
