My Interview with Roy Harper is now published at Thank Folk For That →

An excerpt:

Do you still find playing live shows enjoyable?


I do, but its very hard to write, which is what I want to do. I see the value in writing. I see the longevity. That’s what I really want to do, but rehearsal interupts it, so that if you’re gigging, six nights of the year’s wasted in which you can’t write. I can’t write on the road any more. I used to be able to do it but its not really… I’ve got different energies now. I’m not lacking any, I just have different ones. As you get older you lose short memory but your character remains. You broaden and join more neurons throughout your brain. It may be more disperate but its in a lot more different places. Recall can be torturous but you find as you’re older there’s a lot more to use. Perhaps that’s what wisdom is part of. A victim of growing older. You gain a whole lot just by keeping yourself busy, keeping connections going. That’s what I do with my life. Its very different for rehearsal and gigging, than for writing. I’m trying my best to get the next record together. I’ve got six or seven different things but they’re scattered. Nothing really in the same place, just snatched moments. Something can be happening in the studio, the living room, the kitchen…
