What made you join the Crow wagon: The music of the road - driving Route 66 from Chicago to LA in 2007 and the chance to write and perform our own material.

Your visions, ambitions and expectations for The Old Country Crows: To achieve as much as possible, to get on the major festival circuit and to write more songs that are good enough for us to get back into the studio to record.

Your favourite moment as a Crow: Hearing the final mixes of the tracks from 'Behind The Rain' and realising that we had created a very good album.

The Crow song you wake up in the middle of the night singing: Either the latest one or the one for which I am currently forgetting the words !

Any other business: A few years ago we had played a first set of 14 songs at a show and during the break a member of the audience, who said he was a professional musician, suggested that we should perform our own numbers. He stepped back when we informed him that all 14 songs were original ! I am still trying to figure out whether to take it as a compliment or not. ​​​
