âIâm enjoying my sobriety. Everything gets better â including your bank accountâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whenever someone tells Foy Vance that he ought to be a bigger name than he already is, he has a well-prepared answer ready for them. He has collaborated with, supported and earned the admiration of everyone from Elton John to Kacey Musgraves and Bonnie Raitt. âIâm, like, âIâm getting away with it. The bills are paid, everyoneâs happy, I get to do exactly what I want, release music whenever I want; I donât have to speak to anyone.â You know what I mean?â The musician, who was born
Kevin Rowland: âI wish Iâd stuck to my guns more, not be influenced by people who didnât get itâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Beginning an interview by deliberating an ending is somewhat unusual, but Kevin Rowland has never been a man to play by the rule book. Weâre talking about Love, the new (and perhaps final) Dexys Midnight Runners album, which was recorded in Belfast with David Holmes. Rowland says he was clear when they were making it that it would be the swansong of the band that he has led in various iterations since 1978. âMe and David got on great; it really worked,â he says. âAnd while I was over the
Bon Jovi at Croke Park: Thunderous choruses prove you canât keep a good song down (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They say thereâs no such thing as forever in showbiz, but Jon Bon Jovi begs to differ. Forty-three years after gathering together a crew of like-minded musicians in Sayreville, New Jersey, the 64-year-old frontman and his band are on their Bon Jovi Forever tour. Itâs named for the bandâs 2024 album, but perhaps with a nod and a wink to their legacy and how precarious it might have seemed in recent years. After all, there has been extra scrutiny on the frontman and his voice since his vocal
Julian Lloyd Webber on his brother Andrew: âPeople would love me to say we were competing every dayâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Julian Lloyd Webber turned 75 a few months ago, but he wasnât really thinking about that milestone. âI was thinking more about this concert at the Wigmore on that day,â the celebrated cellist says of the event held in his honour at the London venue. âBecause I never believed I would play again.â Lloyd Webber had been forced into early retirement in 2014, when a herniated disc in his neck prevented him from using his bowing arm to full effect. The clincher, he says, was his 15-year-old
âWho wants to look at old people on stage?â Tim Booth of James on surviving and thriving (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tim Booth furrows his brow and purses his lips, deep in thought. Iâve just asked who would play him in a biopic of James, the band he has fronted since 1982, and he is taking the question very seriously. âIâm too old to play me,â he says, despite having acting experience. He thinks a bit longer. âIn my ideal world, Iâd go for Timothée Chalamet: heâs skinny enough, and heâs a good enough actor. So my ego would say Timothée Chalamet â and he gave me chills in the Dylan biopic.â
