What was is like working with Noel Gallagher and Graham Coxon on the new material?
I love it. Just mad for it all. We’ve got a new band as well. So we’ve got new people playing in the band, we’re playing a new set and it’s just fresh and exciting again. Every night’s a bit different. How do you decide which songs to play? We’ve played about 10 or so tracks from the new record. It’s difficult. There are so many songs. I’m not saying they’re all diamonds. There are a lot of good tunes and it’s quite hard picking the right ones to do. We try to partly play new songs but also put a few things in there that we haven’t played for a while, things like Shadow Of The Sun. Do you ever get tired of playing the old hits? Yeah, and when I do I stop playing them. You just put them away for a bit and then you come back and they’re fresh again. Do you write new material on the road? If you have time because there’s so much time hanging about. I have written stuff on the road. I don’t particularly find it the right space to write. I think it’s probably good from a musical point of vi
