RD: That’s me and Steve, yes.
BiTS: Fabulous song.
RD: Thank you very much for that. That seems to be a favourite amongst people. It’s quite
strange that there’s a lot of songs on albums that we think are really good songs, obviously
because we wouldn’t be putting them on the album otherwise, but you can’t really release a
slower song as a single. Which is unfortunate, really. Everyone says you can’t do that and part
of me thinks, especially with this album, to
hell with it [laughing]. If it’s a slow song, I’ll
just release it because I just think it gets
out to people more. Just puts it in their face
a little bit more, and yes, the feedback we
had from “More Sinner” was that
‘Screaming Your Name’, ‘With Me’, ‘Stand
On Your Feet’ were really popular songs. So
hopefully, I’ll kind of think oh, whatever
and just release what we think [laughing].
BiTS: I’ve one more question for you.
You’ve played places all around the
country. Have you had a favourite gig? Has
there been one that you’ve done that’s
been absolutely outstanding for you and
you’ve thought I could do that over and
over again?
RD: There’s been quite a few, really and for
all kinds of different reasons as well. It is a
tough one. I think probably the one that I
would say is playing the Symphony Hall. I
know it was supporting Magnum, but
probably playing the Symphony Hall in
Birmingham, and by then, all the amazing crowd were completely behind us and I think just
playing a venue like that is always going to resonate, but then I absolutely love doing the
stripped back gigs where I get to sort of chat a little bit more to the audience and just have a
dialogue with people. It seems a little bit more intimate. So I really do like the intimate
acoustic type shows as well. I just feel like the connection is really there when you do stuff like
that.
BiTS: I won’t take any more of your time, Rebecca. Thank you very much indeed for speaking
to me.
RD: That’s great and thank you for interviewing me. I really appreciate it.
BiTS: It’s my pleasure. Have a good day.
RD: And you. Bye.
BiTS: Bye.
