My lady, Deborah McNaughton is doing a documentary on me.

I took up violin because my best mate had taken it up, so I did likewise.

Hendrix rehearsed different drummers, before we met Mitch Mitchell.

Well, I'd had the Fat Mattress earlier as a writing outlet for songs and that.

On Ain't No Telling I came up with the bass solo.

I came to join the Experience by going for an audition for Eric Burdon who was just forming the New Animals at that point, after the original Animals had broken up.

The first band I was in, I think was called The Strangers. I got the sack because I was too small!

At the age of nine, playing the violin at school, and then onto the mandolin.

They are each good when they are out, and each bad when they are in.
