Did anyone else listen to the radio interview yesterday? It was very good, quite a long interview and they played 3 Rats tracks - though at the end after playing Mondays they went on to play Save all your kisses for me by the Brotherhood of Man which was a bit bizarre!
Didn't hear it but the last interview with the radio station is Cornwall or Devon was quite good. As a lifetime fan I had never heard Simon speak except in the odd music paper interview so I find radio interviews brings the characters in the band more to life.
Hope this one is posted on the website. It would be nice too to hear an interview with Gary Roberts at some stage.
Simons level of articulation and manner helps seal the bands reputation for me.
Yes he does come across very well which should obviously help in attracting more fans. As you say, it would be good to hear an interview with Garry too sometime. I guess in the old days most interviews were with Bob ..........
Garry & Simon are to do some backstage video interviews etc. for the website. What would people like to see?

Guess I'd like to know whether any plans to vary the Rats set, and if so with what.
Also when mooted recordings might be available.
Other than that the usual thing - which Rats songs they consider personal faves and why. And conversely which they don't have fond memories of if they are prepared to share that.
The radio station are to send me a copy of the interview and I will see if I can put it on-line. There are more media interviews planned.

Do you mean that they are taking questions? If so I'll try to think of one or two.
A video interview would be good to properly document the bands history and give all those involved a chance to tell their story. Hope the radio interview from 6 March in posted too.
