    Yes, massive interest from them. The country music world has just suddenly opened its doors to me

                                                                 and gone ‘Come in. Welcome’. And I didn't

    with an overseas artist, so let's go for it.

    BiTS:
    That's wonderful.

    CF:

    I'm working for her on a fairly ad-hoc basis, but we've already become quite firm friends which is
    nice.

    BiTS:

    That's good. What about your own personal performing? You're going out I know with the band.
    You've obviously got no gigs at the moment. Have you had plenty of work?

    CF:

    Yes, well the stage I've got to I've actually just literally paused everything for the time being because
    right now all Outlaw's doing at the moment is to try to help other artists because there's been a
    flood of people starting doing online gigs and I thought I've got a database of contacts of people who
                                              Dallas, Texas, Night skyline.
    can help get the word out there, so I'm asking artists to contact me now to tell me where they're
    playing to compile a weekly gig guide to send out to all the radio shows all round the world, so
    people can be told about these online gigs, so that's what I'm doing at the moment. I'm not trying to

    take on clients. I wouldn't think it would be right to put any live music out at this point in time,
    particularly. I may be wrong, but I wouldn't imagine it was a good time. I want to give that a shout
    out as well because I really do want to help people and I'm doing that for free. There's no charge
    whatsoever for it. You just tell me your gig's happening and I'll tell the world, but I need people to
