BiTS: Okay, so the singing is hugely important. Why do you think that is? Why do you love singing

so much?

TR: That’s actually a little bit difficult to answer - why do I like it so much? I don’t know, I just do,
and of course, it also has to do a little bit with catharsis. You get a load off your back when you’re
singing. That’s how I feel, and I always feel released after a concert. You might be in a bad mood
before the concert, or you might have a cold or an ache in your back or whatever, but I always find
when I’m finished with the concert I’m in a much better condition than when I started the concert.

So that’s a good thing.

BiTS: You just reminded me, there’s a song that I’m aware of - I can’t remember where it comes
from but it has the line “you’ve got to use the blues to make you feel better” [laughing].

TR: Oh, yes. That’s a good line, yes. Also “Blues is The Healer” by John Lee Hooker.

BiTS: I won’t take any more of your time. Thank you very much indeed for speaking to me. It’s
been wonderful and congratulations on the excellent English that you speak.

TR: Thank you, I’m trying the best I can, but thank you.

BiTS: Thanks very much indeed. I won’t attempt to say your name at the moment because I’ve got
to go and practice it!

TR: [Laughing] that’s good. Thanks for calling.
Bernie Marsden
BiTS: Bye then. Bye.

TR: Bye-bye.
