Blue Interview
J: Tell me about the video to ‘If you come back’?
D: In a nutshell, the story line is that we’ve all been dumped by girlfriends and we’re all really upset. I’m in a car, driving and gutted. Simon and Lee are walking down the street, gutted... Ant is in a café really upset…and so we all decide to go and meet up in a warehouse, as you do, and sing our hearts out. That’s the basic gist of it.
J: Susie asks: ‘How long have you been together?
S: We’ve been together about two years, but we were signed last September.
J: And how has your friendship progressed in that time?
S: It hasn’t progressed because we were all friends anyway.
D: Yeah, we’re all good mates anyway.
J: Dee asks Blue: What do you do to keep yourself busy and amused on tours and long flights?
A: We’ve just got ourselves some new laptops and DVD players, which we’ve just managed to work!
S: Writing as well, writing songs and stuff.
D: Do you know what I do on flights? Sleep! As soon as we’re on that flight, before it’s even taken off I’m there asleep, head on pillow.
S: Along with Johnny our tour manager
L: I always end up winding someone up on a flight… I don’t know what it is they just see me and hate me!
J: Rachel asks Blue: Which of your songs is your favourite?
D: That’s difficult, that one.
A: Yeah, because we’re so proud of it.
D: We love them all.
S: ‘All Rise’ was one of our favourites. On the album there’s a track called ‘Long time’ that’s an absolute stonker. It’s a ballad, and I’m not even a ballad person, I like up-tempo tracks.
J: Any specific others?
A: I like a track called ‘Distentation’ which we co wrote in Sheffield with a guy called Elliot Kennedy who has worked with the Spice Girls, Bryan Adams, Take That… we were privileged to work with him. It’s a very uplifting, up beat, soul track. It’s wicked.
J: Vicky asks: If you weren’t in a band, what would you be doing now?
A: I’d probably be acting because I was acting before
J: Had you done anything?
A: Yeah, I’d done stuff like Grange Hill and the Bill, I was always the one running away from PC Garfield or whoever… I’d like to go back into acting in years to come… As Beppe’s long lost brother in EastEnders or something!
