Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

It isn’t. Al and I are also in a band called The Hoosiers who will play Edinburgh whenever we can because the buildings look nice and the crowds are beautiful.

What’s the biggest thing to have happened to you since Festivals ’18?

Becoming a Papa … would be the obvious thing to write but it’s probably a draw between that and discovering that they’re making a new He-Man movie

Tell us about your show.

Al and I originally thought about making a tongue-in-roof-of-mouth guide book, outlining the pitfalls and trampolines of fame for those getting signed by major record labels then we thought we’d add a large anecdotal element from our experiences, THEN we thought we’d make it a self-help seminar, THENNNNN we thought it’d be remiss not to play some songs in it. We needed people to produce, write and “be” in it and we only knew each other. “Invention is the child of necessity”.

What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?

Excellent wording. Alfie Brown, Spencer Jones and Phil Nichol. In any order.
