Q. What is your favourite NFaC song to play?
A. The Western Reach

Q. What is your favourite NFaC song to listen to?
A. The live version of Every Part Of Me, and the studio version of Faint.

Q. What was your favourite NFaC moment?
A. Haven't had many yet, I'm a NFaC newbie. My first ever gig in London was a lot of fun, even though I hadn't a clue what I was doing!


Q. What music are you enjoying at the moment?
A. …· Opeth - Ghost Reveries (Death Metal meets Acoustic Singer Songwriter stuff with a massive Porcupine Tree influence)
· Dredg - El Cello (Powerful and Beautiful, think Duran Duran/Sigur Ros/Tool/Radiohead.but sounding nothing like any of them!)
· DJ Spooky Vs Dave Lombardo - Drums Of Death (Think DJ Shadow meets Public Enemy meets Slayer)
· J-Treole - Untitled? Demo (Local band from Bishops Stortford, Jazz with Hip-Hop vocals. Hard to imagine this not becoming big sooner or later, it's just so fresh and exciting)
· The Beatles - Abbey Road (This album is perfect. I can never get over how beautiful "Because" is. Can't help but be inspired after listening to this CD)
· Lamb - Lamb (It only hit me a few days ago how cool this album is! The drum loops are stunning)


Q. What was the best gig you ever went to?
A. Either Dream Theater covering Dark Side Of The Moon at the Hammersmith Apollo this October, or Porcupine Tree at The Junction in April.

Q. Where would you love to be right now?
A. In a "Proper" Recording Studio, free to do whatever I want, with no time limits, or fee!

Q. Preferences:

Indoors or outdoors?
I'm very much an indoor person. At the moment it's too cold outside anyway!
Sweet or savoury?
Sweet. I have one of the most un-healthy diets ever.
A book or a movie?
Book. I rarely watch movies, they take too long, you have to devote a couple of hours to them. Books you can read whenever you want.
What question do you wish you'd been asked? And what was the answer?
If you could own any musician for a day, who would it be and why?
Either Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys, Man behind Smile) or Ringo Starr. Brian Wilson I'd just like to spend a whole day talking to, as he seems like a fascinating person. I'd love to try and write a song with him. Very few others can write so much into a 3-minute pop song, I want to find his secret!.
With Steve Wilson I'd just get him to teach me everything he knows about working in the studio, and how to make a song that contains so many different musical textures and subtleties. Something I've always tried to do, but never been good enough to pull off. Naturally, I'd love to take some drum lessons from Ringo Starr, and just chat with him for ages about everything to do with The Beatles and John Lennon.
