Answered by: Jack Earle
When did you start making music and why? I started playing piano when I was four because I grew tired of having to sit through my sister's piano lessons without getting a go. Tantrums ensued, resulting in piano lessons!
Sum up your musical sound in four words? Brassy, exciting, vibrant, groovy.
If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? If not The Jack Earle Big Band (available on Bandcamp and iTunes) — obviously — it would be Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder. It is a masterpiece.
Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? The big band's album launch was pretty raucous! I will never forget the *hundreds* of people who turned up to support; who danced and cheered and hollered for more all night long! Career highlight for sure.
Why should people come and see your band? We are celebrating our ten year anniversary, premiering new works, featuring Rhonda Burchmore, and having an exciting and awesome time.
When and where are your next gigs? 12 Mar, Spotted Mallard.
