I'm a rockstar on hiatus - Ask Me (Almost) Anything

[SweetnSaltyPopcornPlease]

I'm a semi-successful musician in a rock band. It's my only occupation, has been for some years. I've been a lot of places, seen a lot of stuff and met a lot of people. Ask me anything. I can't answer everything for various reasons but let's see how it goes...

What do you mean by 'on hiatus'? Is that the rock star equivalent of being a 'resting' actor?

Have you shagged loads of people and taken loads of drugs?

Can you name names?

What's the best rock gossip you're prepared to divulge ?

What do you play? What she did you start learning your instrument and who was your biggest influence?

Age not she

Sorry, but you are just making me think of the Bill Nighy character Billy Mack in Love Actually.

In which case, you are likely to invoke sympathy rather than awe.

@Pelleas music venues are closed due to Covid-19 for the foreseeable future. Festivals have been cancelled and everyone in the live music industry is twiddling their fingers with anxiety. Hence the hiatus.

Do you have toenails?

Were you 'on hiatus' before COVID-19?
Are you solo or part of a band or both?

@ThickFast not personally but when we play festivals, the festival will put up all the bands in the same hotel. So after midnight when all the artists are socialising it can get a bit wild...

Would we know who you are?

What instrument do you play?

@Harriedharriet depends on the question

Are you a man or a woman?

@TheSpottedZebra I've been through a lot, played over a thousand shows, stayed in over a thousand hotels, taken over a thousand flights. I'd need specific questions to jog my memory.

These always sound exciting and you think you are taking to a star but it’s usually just someone who plays in your local on a Friday night.

Are you a founding memeber of the band of a hire?

Are you in The Wurzels?

@EThreepwood being semi successful you likely wouldn't know who I am but could find out if I'm not careful. You would 100% have heard our music (we're a band) because our music has been played in Eastenders, on E4, Come Dine With Me (being shows that most people have seen) as well as countless tv shows, movies and computer games. And radio.

So true 😂😂

Do you have a family? Children?
How on earth do you deliver as a parent in that job?

Have you had a Top Ten chart hit?

Although life is probably wild, have you been disgusted or shocked by the behaviour of any work colleagues?
