BiTS:  Are there any plans to do videos and that sort of thing?

    FL:  There will be some videos. I mean, we've got a couple already in, but we won't be

    doing videos for all of them, no. No, but we may do just sort of short montage, 30 seconds,
    bits and pieces on release dates for the actual singles, yeah.

    BiTS:  Now, are you able to say at this stage, for when I produce this article, where people
    can get the album from?


    FL:  Yes, my plan is that there will be a special account set up separate from all of our
    various band accounts, all the people who are involved, and that I will issue a QR code to
    all the people who are appearing, and they will put it on their website shop, and it will
    direct people to a separate shop basically, which will deal with just this so that all the
    money will go into the separate account.


    BiTS:  Now is there anything else you'd like to tell me about the album? It must be very
    important to you to be involved in doing this.

    FL:  Yes, it is. I mean, I want to say a special thank you to Dan, Dan Lucas of Joplin House
    Studios, because without him, this wouldn't have been possible, quite honestly. And also
    to Dudley Ross for having the idea in the first place and for producing three of the tracks

    himself. So those two people in particular, also to Alice for producing the artwork, because
    there's a lot of time and effort going into that and I really do appreciate everything she's
    doing. And everybody, by the way, is doing this for nothing, just for the charity, so that
    there's no cost to me, apart from the actual production of the album and the CD. So, yeah,
    we're really so grateful, because these people are very, very busy people, you know,

    touring the UK and Europe, and they still managed to find time to do this for us. So yeah.

    BiTS:  With Bonamassa and Trout involved it might be a big thing as well.

    FL:  Well you'd like to think so. If there's any interest from his supporters, then that will
    reflect in some sales, I hope. But we've got a lot of people here who have a lot of followers.

    When Rivers Meet have over 100,000 for example. Elles Bailey has a lot. Dom Martin has
    a lot. So there's a lot of people here who should hopefully bring some sales in, and we'll
    raise some money for the hospital.

    BiTS:  Well, fingers crossed. I hope it all goes well and congratulations to you and your
    colleagues for actually having the nous to do this because I think it's a fabulous idea.

    FL:  Thank you very much. Thank you..


    BiTS:  Okay, Fiona, give my regards to Paul, please, and thanks very much indeed for
    talking to me. It's been absolutely terrific.

    FL:  Well, thank you for doing it for me.

    BiTS:  And as they say in the blues world, keep on keeping on.
