'If this gets in the paper I'm going to get some stick. There's a lot of banter with the blokes at work'
*The T-shirt was a Father's Day present from my daughter.* I'm laughing because I thought, "If this gets in the paper, I'm going to get some stick." There's a lot of banter with the blokes at work here in Newport.
*Music means everything to me. *I remember watching Slade and T Rex on Top Of The Pops as a kid, and my father coming in and saying, "What are you listening to this rubbish for?" My older brother was into music, too. He went into the RAF, and I swiped all his records. I swiped his record player, too. Thin Lizzy was the best. I killed that record.
*My perfect weekend is spent going to concerts.* This summer I've done the four-day rock show Sweden Rock, where we saw Kiss, Rush and Europe. Then we did Bruce Springsteen and Kasabian, and the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park. They were brilliant.
*I'm going on holiday to **Ilfracombe**.* It's a little village on the north coast of Devon. It's where we always went as kids for our holidays. It's a bit run-down now. It used to be vibrant – lots of shops, lots of arcades – but they don't have the fishing trade now. Still, it brings back memories of being there with my parents and grandparents. We scattered my father's ashes at a spot called Windy Corner, so I'll go back there with my sister and we'll think about him.
