“It gives me flexibility and freedom of thought.

“The title, Rose Tinted Spex, was the first song I wrote when I was 17, that will be on there.

“It’s great that Brian’s involved. He’s always got time for people, you can send him things and he gives you feedback. He really believes in what I’m trying to do.”
