Top 5 people you'd most like to invite to a party:
1. Ian Brown- ultimate hero and icon
2. Hendrix- total guitar god
3. Nietzsche- revolutionary thinker, as important to the development of the West in the 20th Century as all of the technological advances put together
4. Che Guevara- people think he was just a revolutionary but as well as being a doctor and an international icon he was also a philanthropist and spent a lot of time helping the sick and the poor in South America
5. Ricky Gervais- in case everyone else gets a bit too heavy!
Dream band line-up:
'The Kyoshi All-Stars': Kyoshi with Hendrix instead of me,
Lauryn Hill/Billie-Holiday/Patti Smith on backing vocals
Nina Simone and Stevie Wonder on keys
I'd record and produce them.
Dream festival line-up:
The Stone Roses, Hendrix, Cream, Stevie Wonder, Billie Holiday, Beatles, K-OS, Zeppelin, Kyoshi
Ideal day off:
Wake up when i want wih my beautiful Bethan, chill with her then meet up with Kyoshi and have a relaxed, no-pressure-no-point jam for the sake of it. Meet back up with Beth and go for dinner with her and loads of mates. Get a bit lairy and then back home for a chill and a party.
