BiTS: Did you do any live recordings or anything like that?

BM: What you mean shows?

BiTS: Yes, yes.

BM: No, we didn't actually do any live show recording on this particular tour, but
basically, we travelled about 3000 miles. Then we ended up, myself and my partner,
Jonathon, who's the chef, we do a Blues and Stews thing as well. So we went to New

Orleans straight after the tour and then ended up in LA, doing a big Christmas party
with Sue Wong, who’s a fashion designer.

BiTS: Oh, absolutely wonderful. That sounds absolutely terrific. How did all this get
fixed up?

BM: Well, I was invited to perform at her gala just before the lockdown, and we've

been friends ever since. I was the voice of Janis, with Big Brother and the Holding
Company when they came to the UK on tour. So a lot of the American sort of
promoters and stuff invited me to perform on my tours out here, and her PR woman
actually invited me to meet her, and she invited me to play at one of her Oscar galas.

And then since then, we've been buddies and she kind of invites me to all of her big
parties [chuckles]. So we ended up playing at her party and Jonathon did the food,

which was incredible. And then we went on to play at Kelsey Grammer’s New Year's
Eve Party, which was amazing as well.

BiTS: Absolutely fabulous. Your latest album, I take it it’s your latest one, is “Fortuna”.

Do you have another one since then?
