Nme do that a lot though, just to grab attention

[Rubi]

Another good read. Thanks for the effort, Tom.

Thanks Tom - any other blur-related interviews to look forward to? Alex always seems up for a chat if you can get hold of him Mike perhaps - his take on all this might be interesting? [I'm assuming Graham and Damon would be well nigh impossible to get...]

Great interview! (and thanks for asking my question)

I like Dave's response to the Orbit questions... diplomatic as always.

[Levitz]

I'm glad they're not playing glastonbury and I don't know why

I'm very glad, have tickets but now can't go would be very annoyed if they headlined and I missed them. Though don't think anything could ever top 2009

Ok, here we go, Part 2 of my interview with Dave. In this part we discussed his introduction to the drums, The Magic Whip, Glastonbury and a few more tasty things! Enjoy.

So glad you asked the Glastonbury one! there’s loads of speculation on efestivals.com about them would you mind if I posted a link to the site and the interview there?

Fantastic interview, Tom! And thank you for asking about Ice Cream Man! The mistery remains...

Anyone here able to watch the Q&A with Dave on Periscope? I was driving and couldn't catch it

[tom_cas1]

Thanks for the kind words guys!

@themanwholefthimself: No but I've been told he's been doing it almost daily to talk to fans. Hoping to catch it tomorrow if he's doing it then.

I think they are some of the most honest answers I've heard from a politician

I don't think he's doing it daily but from time to time. Last time he tried to broadcast was on Monday but there were technical issues, apparently on periscope's end due to an important update, which included saving broadcasts for later replay, and he had to wait until they got to NY when he finally was able to broadcast this 15 min Q&A session. Still i hadn't update my app on time to be able to replay Dave's broadcast yesterday. I also need to find out how to save and share in here.

Very interesting interview, cheers Tom!

Dave's answers to the Orbit questions made me smile -- very much what you'd expect from a lawyer/politician, but in a good way... That being said, he was very diplomatic on a lot of issues.

I've merged both threads so people can find both parts easily.

Love this what a great read thank you!

Note: Dave and Alex are on the Sunday Brunch show right now on 4+1 or catch up on all 4

Thank you for asking questions we've been waiting YEARS to be answered..Unfortunately we've built them up in our heads and Dave can barely recall them!
