| 1. What are you currently up
to? |
I am just back
from Miami having sung on Yngwie Malmsteens album Attack. Due for release
in Sept. Then we will tour. I am finishing an album with Bill Liesegang who
has played guitar with Nina Hagen and Rod Stewart and Transvision Vamp amongst
others. It is exciting to be so busy, and Steen and I are exchanging ideas
for the next Cornerstone album. |
| 2. Who were your
influences? |
Many people
have been influential but Ritchie must get a special mention. His craft and
knowledge and ability along with the vibe he radiates taught me much about
myself as well as about him. |
| 3. Which band would you like to
see reform? |
I dont really
have a band I wish would reform. I have a couple that should disband but
thats not for now. As for Ritchie.... I would not have any problem working
with him again. |
| 4. Would Midnight Blue ever reform?
The album is a gem. |
I have not heard
the album in many years and dont own a copy. Alex, Jem and I still play together
on the Sacktrick albums. Al and I have done some acoustic gigs recently.
A full blown MB gig , probably not... |
| 5. Please tell us about Cornerstone
and your plans for this band. |
Cornerstone
is built round bass player Steen Mogensen (Royal Hunt) and myself along with
Allen Sorensen and Kasper Damngard on Drums and guitar respectively. We have
had 2 albums "ARRIVAL" and "HUMAN STAIN" out on Massacre records in Europe
and Marquee in Japan We have one more to do and are writing at the moment.
There are also plans to tour at some point. |
| 6. You have done many sessions
- which was the most enjoyable and which was an absolute
nightmare? |
I enjoyed the
sessions with Lea Hart on the Tribute albums. Quick and to the point. I did
some country sessions some time back and the writer could not sing and kept
interrupting. What should have taken a couple of hours took almost 8. I was
not amused. |
| 7. Who would you like to work with
in the future (or would have liked to in regards to dead rock
stars)? |
I dont know,
Who do you guys think I should work with....???? |
| 8. What do you think about the
state of rock music at the moment? It seems classic rock/ 'hair' band music
is big news again but only as a touring vehicle (eg all the classic rock
bands touring the US - Styx, REO, Scorpions, Poison - but no new albums in
many band's cases)? |
Anything that
keeps these mass produced pop acts out of the charts is fine by me. Where
are the next great songwriters coming from??? When a DJ spinning a piece
of black plastic is worth more attention than the artist who created it,
it is a sad day.. |
| 9. What was the last thing you
read? |
The manual for
my new computer set up. |
| 10. Message for your
fans... |
Lets all get
together and go on holiday. Somewhere nice like the Isle of Arran. My favourite
place in the world.
We could hire a cottage and have
BBQ's and drink beer. End of September good for everyone???? See ya
there.... |
