david denver discovered huge john listened musicals simon
I listened to John Denver and Simon & Garfunkel. Edith Piaf was a huge favourite. Then I discovered musicals - I loved 'Les Miserables' - and, at about 14, I started listening to David Gray.
dad music properly quite reason song stop word
My dad dying was actually a reason for me to stop music properly for about a year, because he was a big supporter. All I wanted to do was write a song about him and, you know, when something's too fresh, you can't quite word it.
performance
It's easy listening to a record, but a live performance is so personal and real.
life
I think I was probably a cowboy in a past life.
fans open particular
I'm very open with people, very warm, when I meet them. My fans in particular find that strange and refreshing.
subject wrote
I remember when I wrote songs when I was about 16, they all sounded the same because I didn't know anything. And all the subject matter was all the same because I hadn't actually done much.
