Answered by: Magpie Johnston

When did you start making music and why? When I was about 15, my older brother showed me how to play a couple songs. We formed a punk band a little while after, been writing songs ever since.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Simple cooking country vibe.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? If I could only have one album, I'd probably decide to have none for fear of ruining my favourite. Although a Willie Nelson record might just make it over the line for sentimental sake.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Being involved with Dashville Progress Society.

Why should people come and see your band? Because there's so much more to see than just our band. Dashville is a special place you need to experience.

When and where for your next gig? 1 Oct, Dashville Skyline
