Yes, actually an amount of self-control and regular routines are very important. How do you keep all your levels topped up? I guess you must be pretty disciplined people to keep on top of it all. I don’t believe I’d have ever had those opportunities had I carried on working in the corporate world. I’ve had experiences which have been life changing and given me the confidence to talk about some of the beautiful connections I’ve made with all kinds of people. I could never have imagined this positive craziness when I was a schoolgirl and so it still feels so incredibly brilliant and I feel so very fortunate. Whilst it definitely has much more of an effect on your physical and mental tiredness, I will never take for granted the travel and opportunity to connect with like- minded folk all around the world. Are you still in love with the craziness? You seem to be forever on the move, be it in the UK or other far-flung places. With places like The Bomb, I personally have based myself wherever I’ve laid my hat (in the words of Paul Young) and actually enjoyed the nomadic lifestyle. In all honesty it was a strong reason BUT also in the late 90s early noughties Nottingham was a bed of great talent and musical inspiration so being there was perfect. Jim and Chris met at Nottingham Uni and stayed on in Nottingham (mainly) as the studio was based there and it was council run so offered a great space as a reasonable rate. Was that a strategic decision for all the band? You have all spent time living in the middle of England. It continues to punch well above its weight with so much energy. There’s a sarcasm, a wit, and general joyous work ethic too. The people will always create an alternative. It’s the fact that no matter what’s going on in the mainstream, there’s always a gritty and well supported, enthusiastic and passionate alternative. As is the underground scene which is what I really love. Manchester has sprouted so many new bars and restaurants and of course the night life is as thriving as ever.

I’m mainly up north and Chris from the band recently moved up here too …there seems to be a growing musical collective. I actually live just north of Manchester in the wonderful town of Todmorden and split my time in Birmingham which is where my husband is from. I am indeed! I get back to see my friends and family. Do you get back much? What is it you love about your hometown? You’re from the magnificent city of Manchester. Well, I have been prepping for a Masterclass Session with Daniel Berman (aka Red Rack’Em), working on lyrics and melodies for the new crazy P album, listening through some new music and catching up with household tidying.
