QUICK FIRE

Are you a hipster? Where I live [Chorlton, Manchester] is full of hipsters, but in winter their fixies disappear until the summer. Best gig you’ve played? With Happy Mondays at the Fuji Rock Festival in 2015. It was my first time in Japan and it was amazing. I love it there. What’s the backstage rider for a rider? Bands are divas now; it’s not unusual to see such things as organic coffee, quince jam and gluten-free produce. Mark E Smith from The Fall keeps it rock and roll though; all he asks for are 60 Benson & Hedges cigarettes and two crates of Holsten Pils!
