“All the other things I’ve done with music have been orchestras where you get given a piece of paper, you read the piece of paper and you play off the paper exactly as it’s written and this was more imaginative and creative and allowed me to get our of my comfort zone!”
I’ve never really been so obsessed with going and doing something, Ive done loads of other clubs that I’ve been good at but ever since Tinderbox, Ive been really fascinated with it and really want to do music!
