will come off. Just keep going." Is life on the road as glamorous as it's cracked up to be? "Well, just the other day we were sleeping in the van on a caravan park in North Wales. It had been snowing, and a gale was blowing. The tour van is very small and doesn't have a toilet. It was a day off, and we had headed into town and got drunk. As I had to sing the next day, I drank loads of water before heading back to the van. At about 2am I woke up dying for the toilet, climbed over the guy who plays piano for me and out of the door and stood in the sleet and wind up on a hill in the pitch black, in my pants, having the longest wee I have ever had. It was very unpleasant." Any tips for aspiring singer/songwriters? "Work hard, write good songs, record them to the best of your ability and use the tools that are available to us now to get it out there. If you do that, good things will come, I promise you."
