"Really just a very small tour, we have played other places including Scotland on the previous tour, last year... it was pretty amazing and we also played at Party At The Palace earlier this month and because we're from Southampton and huge travel up to Scotland so that's one the reasons why don't play much up there."

"There's definitely a few, probably the highlight has been... Isle of Wight festival and we opened the main stage at British Summer Time for Paul Simon at Hyde Park in London this summer."

"We would definitely would love to play the States! for sure. Would be a dream to different states in a touring van."

12. Where would you like to see yours go as a band in a couple of years time?
"Erm... i guess the aim each year would be sell tickets, put out more new music and play bigger shows. Basically just doing what other bigger bands have done to get where they are."
"Although it is hard right now with streaming nowadays which more about getting a single on a playlist... we're still pretty much still old school, where we would listen to albums of body work, and we would like to see people listen to our music like that as well."

"We are big Pink Floyd fans, inspired by likes of Bon Iver for sure. a bit of mixture of music really."
