Andy Fairweather Low : It's so much more comfortable to sing your own stuff. Like, Wide Eyed And legless, - I really liked it. I found it very strange to like a song that much. The solos were superb and the production was rwally good, all of which I had nothing to do with. I wrote the song, but it was taken so much further.

I think my main selling point is my voice, even though it's not a very good voice. It's a distinctive voice, but not a good voice. I structure my songs so that they're within my range and my capabilities. That's why it's much easier to write my own songs.

I spent so many years early on in my life trying to sing and play like other people.
