RK: Yes, our sets are always very heavily based around our original material.

    BiTS:  When you’re playing live, say like at the PizzaExpress, do you call the sets as you go along
    or have you got a set list that you work to?

    RK: We always get a set list. It stops any hesitations between songs and for Zoe to get her head
    round lyrics. It’s not fair just to call things out of the blue that perhaps we haven't played for a
                                                                                year  or  two.  So  we’re  always
                                                                                changing our set list, but we do
                                                                                have a framework. No, we have
                                                                                a set list. Occasionally, during
                                                                                the set, they’ll be a suggestion
                                                                                from  one  of  us  to  do  this
                                                                                because we sense it will work
                                                                                with  that  particular  audience.
                                                                                But no, a set list is essential.

                                                                                BiTS:    Okay,  that’s  wonderful

                                                                                Gigathon, that was the official

    isn’t it, Gigathon [laughing]? I’ve never heard that one before.

    RK: I think we invented it [chuckling].

    BiTS:  Absolutely wonderful.

    RK: We did three gigathons.

    BiTS:  Rob, thanks very much.

    RK: Thank you, Ian.

    BiTS:  Cheers. Bye.

    RK: Bye-bye. Thanks. Bye-bye.
