MW: Had you had much chance to rehearse before that gig?

                                  LC: We managed to get some practice time in, yes.

                                  MW: What have been the highlights of your career so far?

                                  LC: Playing the O2 Academy (Leeds, Sheffield, and Islington), playing
                                  with Mungo Jerry (Ray Dorset borrowed my amp because his blew up
                                  in the soundcheck), and playing The 100 Club in London.

                                  MW: What was Ray Dorset like?

                                  LC:  Really  nice!  He  let  us  share  his  dressing  room  and  you  never
                                  usually get that…ha, ha! The gig was brilliant! He’s still rocking and the
                                  band was great. He left my Marshall on 10 it doesn’t usually go past 3
                                  or 4.

                                  MW: Yeah, I always got the impression he was a nice geezer. By
                                  the way, I noticed that you play Fender and Gibson. Which do
                                  you prefer? Or does it depend on the song you're playing?

                                  LC: The Gibson is new/old to me. That is, new to me, but it was made
                                  in 1997. It's a Les Paul Special, so I’m playing that the most at the
                                  minute and the sound is amazing! But I also love my Fender, and yes,
                                  that is suited better to some of our songs such as ‘What Are You Doing
                                  It For.’

                                  MW: How would you briefly sum up your sound?

                                  LC: Rock, plug in and play. No tricks.

                                  MW: Cheers, Loz! Always a pleasure to catch up with you.
