Anywhere - from a bedroom to a festival. We love playing live! Finally, tell us some interesting facts about yourself Last year, Tom sat in the orchestra pit, overseeing the drummer in Mary Poppins - yes, you may mock, but it was pretty cool! Seb, apparently, likes anything tasty or edible - if you don't trust this source, it's on his MSN member directory profile! He's just back from New York, where he ate sushi. Lewis loves playing his bass and finds it difficult to think of much else other than music. Recently when his playing was interrupted, he swallowed his plectrum! |
