“So he’s just released a live album this week.. we’ve recorded every single show that we’ve done which in terms of data was quite a lot. I kinda just went through every show and constructed this record where each track was from a different location around the world and then we kinda fused it all together to make it feel like one concert.. but it’s kind of a seamless album, but everywhere’s different.. you know, different place around the world. Yeah so I did that and did his last single as well which came out as part of a dvd release, like a remake of one of his songs, so yeah bit of production in here for good measure as well as the other bits.”

— Steve Durham answering the question “You’ve also produced some songs for Louis, right?”

“On the gig I’m on at the moment - I’m playing with a guy called Louis Tomlinson - we’ve kind of taken some bits from The Who and shoehorned them into some of the songs on this tour so.. we’ve got kinda of a small bit of Baba O’Riley. And then I’m kinda playing elements of this tune we’re about to hear [Won’t Get Fooled Again] within one of the One Direction songs that we play. So I kinda sorta fused.. we kinda fused the original One Direction tune with a bit of The Who and kinda made our own version of it.”

— Steve Durham talking about his influences and about incorporating The Who into Louis’ live set for the Faith In The Future World Tour

“So studying drums is not for everyone [..] but for me when I was young that’s what I needed to do because I kinda.. I could play loud rock drums and that was it. And I needed to learn other skills, be it arranging, scoring strings, production.. just touch and grace on the drum kit, so you’re not just playing like crazy loud all the time. Turns out I ended up playing pretty crazy loud on this latest gig but you know.. it’s fine. Being a hired gun and a session drummer and an MD [..] it’s all about playing for the song, playing for what the song needs.. just keeping your head down, I think. There’s a lot to be said for that and knowing when to kinda sit up and play something of interest and when not to. And usually it’s 'don’t.', you know, certainly in the pop world. As I said before I’m playing with a guy called Louis - playing with Louis Tomlinson - and it’s quite a fun gig at the moment because it’s.. to be honest, it’s not that. It’s kinda some pretty bold drumming and it’s kinda like a sort of rock band, not too dissimilar to something like this, something like Biffy [Clyro] or Foo Fighters or something like that.. it’s been really good, to kinda go full circle with it all, you know.”

— Steve Durham talking about being Louis’ drummer and musical director.
