In the final Q&A interview of the series, we've got The Lapis talking about Most Haunted, French newsreaders and the courtyard at Hebeejebees (repeatedly!). Let me know what you think, and don't forget to give me suggestions for future Q&A interviews. Who would you like to see profiled?
The best piece of advice I’d give someone thinking of starting a band would be… Practice - we practiced 3 or 4 times a week for a good 6 months to make sure the sound was right before even considered playing live. You need to make an impression from your first gig. (John)
… to be open minded about the music you're going to play. Sometimes mixing stuff up and experimenting with different styles can produce the most interesting and original music. (Kev)
The best thing about playing live is... the buzz of seeing people enjoying it and singing along. I get a real kick out of the response after we've played. (John)
...seeing people enjoying what you do. Simple as that! (Kev)
I love…Kellie - without her putting up with all the rehearsals and gigs I wouldn’t be doing what I'm doing. (John)
the smell of napalm in the morning. And the mighty EFC. (Kev)
I hate…Work, enough said!! (John)
…the tabloid press. (Kev)
If you only listen to one song this week it should be…Lay Lady Lay, Bob Dylan its playing on my I-pod now! (John)
… That's a difficult one. So much good stuff about...I'll say 'Young Bride' by Midlake (Kev)
The one song I wish I'd written is…… 'I think I'm in Love' by Spiritualized. (Kev)
The Birdy Song...Genius (John)
No-one knows this, but…I've got one nostril bigger than the other..ask me and I'll show ya!! (John)
…I can play pretty much anything on the Kazoo. (Kev)
If money was no object I would……buy my own recording studio. (Kev)
Build a sound proof room, just big enough for James Blunt. (John)
My perfect day would be…Sitting in Hebeejebees court yard with Kell and all our mates having a cig and a pint at the same time. (John)
…filled with wine, women and song. (Kev)
I dream of……a life of sweet serenity. (Kev)
Having a cig and a pint at the same time. (John)
First thing in the morning, I like to......eat a big steaming bowl of Alpen and check how my portfolio of stock and shares are doing on the money markets. (Kev)
Complain about going to work, get a shower, have a cig and a pint at the same time. (John)
The best thing on TV is...Most Haunted - Derek Acorah is a comedy genius (is sam a boy or a girl??) (John)
... The Sopranos, no competition. (Kev)
If I could step through the screen and live in one film, it would be..Flash Gordon....go Flash go!! (John)
...Ghostbusters. I've always wanted to own one of those ghost shooting laser gun thingies. (Kev)
My dream date would be…Hmm Tricky...Dawn French, She'd be a proper laugh, and I dont think Kell would mind!! (John)
…Melissa Theuriau (French TV newsreader). Look her up on the interweb. (Kev)
Liverpool is…Where all my mates are - couldnt think of anywhere better to live, Plus its got Hebeejebees court yard, the only place you can have a cig and a pint at the same time!(John)
…a city on the up. (Kev)
