 And I've played piano since I was little, so I was originally the piano player in the band. |
| I've always stayed pretty fit. I felt I needed to give myself energy by exercising and things like that. |
| I used to play the piano in the band, and so there's some horrendous scenes of me playing the keyboards. |
| I'm not the hottest tuner on the planet, so I normally get someone to come out and do it for me. |
| Oh yeah, we all write. That's what's great about when you have basics in piano. |
| A lot of the songs are written on piano or guitar, so I contribute, and I have done so since the beginning. So it's been good to be involved completely musically as well. |
| We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music. |
| Sharon went on to play classical but we actually went into totally different instruments which was lucky for the band because otherwise we'd all be playing the same thing!! |
| Our parents were very strict. Not in a brutal or awful way, but there were definite rules, such as after six on a school night you didn't go out, and at weekends you had to be home by a certain time. It wasn't particularly sheltered, but we were well brought-up. |
| Well I had a musical background, but I still didn't know a lot about drums at the time. |
| I mean, y'know, platinum is different in every country, which can be confusing. |
| Waking up with a bad head in the morning is difficult sometimes. |
| It's been crazy trying to tour with a baby. But it's actually working out okay. |
| But I do have an idea in my head before I go in about what I'm going to do. |
| Yes, we record practically everything on Pro Tools. |
| There was no one in particular I really tried to copy. |
| I really like to have a bit of direction, you know? |
| Actually, I wear the nail polish to hide how grubby my nails are. |
| We do it because we love to play music and that's what we're all about. |
| Yes, my mother was a singer, and my father played piano and keyboards. They were in a band together, though they also had regular jobs because they had kids and stuff like that. |
