28th of September, 2013:

How/when did you first hear Family Fodder?

I first heard FF when I was still at Dartington College of Arts... I was sat in the Barn Theatre next to a very smiley looking man/child who was wearing a leather jacket over a colourful woolly jumper, and I thought I would like to be his friend. I knew he was up to no good. So he gave me the rough demo version of Classical Music and I told him he must teach me it. So he taught me how to play the pony song on marimba in the old Dartington Studios. And bought me cake. 

When handed lyrics to a new Fodder song, your first reaction is...?

Actually I typically get the demo version first and I listen... Getting raw lyrics doesnt really happen. I dont know if there is a universal reaction. Usually I am destroyed by the bonkers instrumentation and go straight to my car and turn it up really loud. 

Favorite Fodder song you've performed on?

My favourite? Dont be mean! Thats hard... But ones I really love...Hippy Bus to Spain, Love is Like a Goat... 

Favorite Fodder song you haven't performed on?

The Moon Told Me So... and the old classic Savoire Faire...

Tell us about the music you've made outside of the Fodder?

I have my own project, "The Midnight Fairground" which has been my dearest friend and nightmare since 2009... Its sort of antifolk/pop/circus. Dark, moody and playful in equal measure. Am currently recording the third album in collaboration with phenomenal producer and friend Jered Sorkin. Due for completion at the end of the year.

What have you been listening to/watching/reading/eating this week?

This week I have been eating a lot of eggs as omelettes are prime food for the recording studio! Ive been listening to Chavela Vargas a lot. And my Learning French Audio Book as I drove the hour commute every day to the studio...

What's next on the horizon for you?

Im going to finish my album... and this autumn I'm doing a little tour. And then Im getting myself over to warmer lands as fast as my legs/van can carry me..

Most importantly... how has singing with Family Fodder changed your life?

Singing with FF has resulted in an increased intake of cake, a better understanding of the importance in ones life of cats and all nice creatures stroke able. But most importantly: because of FF now I am a famous rock star. And being a famous rock star is quite a big deal. So FF has changed my life quite a lot.

Thanks a bunch, Mae!
