I only started writing and singing my songs last September: that's less than a year ago. Never having sung with a band before, I'm scared of forgetting my words or just totally freezing up. From time to time I step back in shock, and wonder what I've let myself in for. I reckon the key is preparation. I just hope there is enough time left before the Festival. It's hard enough to get the band together for a rehearsal, never mind a gig. Luckily the band members are all fantastic musicians and have fed in a lot of ideas to the final arrangements. The truth is, once I'm singing, I just love it. The songs were never intended to be funny: I always start trying to write something deep and meaningful, soulful and melodic. But somehow, they quickly turned into hysterically wacky pieces. I was obviously not meant to be a serious poet.
