WW: Also there's a slow minor blues on there called ‘Broken Dream Blues’. That's
one of my favourites. I've always been a big fan of an intense slow minor blues. I'm
a big fan of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. They always used to include a couple of

those in the set and so I've always done the same, you know.

BiTS: There are lots of guitar players that I know, I may be one of them myself, who
are frustrated harmonica players. Are you a harmonica player who is a frustrated

guitar player?

WW: I am, actually [laughing]. Yeah, I dabble with guitar. I did used to play guitar

live on stage for a couple of songs a night, but I haven't done that for the last few
years.

BiTS: How do you feel, Will, that your career is going at the moment, because it

seems to me as though you're on a bit of a roll at the minute?

WW: It does feel like that, yeah. It definitely feels like this is going to be a big year
for me. Obviously, I've been around for quite a while, but I think that the time is right

now. I've got a lot better over the last few years vocally and with the harp as well.
I've got the best bands behind me that I've ever had. And you know guys like Walter
Trout kind of pushing me forward and shouting about me, which is really helpful
[chuckles]. So yeah, it does feel like now's the time.

BiTS: Good. I'm delighted to hear it. Where do you want to be say in four or five

years’ time?

WW: Hmm. Well I guested on Walter Trout's tour last year, and on that tour, I was
thinking that I'd like to be filling the kind of venues that he's filling. You know, not

massive stadiums, but nice good-sized venues with great crowds that are all really
into the blues. So that's the goal really is to be able to tour those kinds of venues
