So then, what’s your name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
Cassie Ward and I play rhythm guitar and sing in the duo Cass.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
A mellow mix of jazz, folk and blues.
What do you love about making music?
The magical opportunities it presents. Two years ago we found ourselves performing on the steps of Montmartre in Paris, which was unbelievable.
What do you hate about the music industry?
That music is pumped out, consumed and discarded so quickly by the public. These days music seems to be popular one moment and forgotten the next. I think that’s due to a lack of originality, especially in popular music. Everything sounds the same and therefore nothing sticks.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
If I were able to travel through time, I would go back and see Lena Horne, not necessarily to show her our music but to listen to hers. To see her live would be so moving.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?
Definitely Pitbull. Crude and obnoxious; two things that I can’t stand in a person.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We recorded an EP a while ago but have sold out so we’re working now on getting some new material out as soon as we can.
