» On Their Bikes – Bombay Bicycle Club interview

London band Bombay Bicycle Club are one of the best of the recent crop of ‘indie’ bands. Jeff Hemmings spoke with the foursome’s founder Suren de Saram


“We had to do a gig the following day, and we still didn’t have a band name.

» Herbie Flowers interview: Eternal Flower

Legendary bassist and tuba player Herbie Flowers has played on more hit records than you’ve had breakfasts – well, Sunday breakfasts at least. Jeff Hemmings caught up with him ahead of his Brighton show


“I work as much as ever, but always try and do nice things – but it’s harder than what it used to be like. I might have got a phone call: ‘Do you fancy doing a new show, Hello Dolly, Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, £18 a week, double bass and tuba. Eight shows a week?’ Done! That was how my life went. And then somebody asks: ‘Would you like to do a residency at the Danny La Rue Club, 10.30pm–4am. £18?’ I’d get home at 4.45am, get up at 7.30am, and be on parade for 8.45am as I was in the Air Force at the time. I might have to do the Queen’s Birthday Parade or play in the officers mess, then have a kip in the car on the way back to London, and start again…”

Born into a musical family, Flowers developed an interest in music from an early age. “When I went to school the only thing that interested me was aeroplanes, hence why I joined the Air Force,” he says. “But I failed the aptitude test and so I fell into music.” Read the rest of this article »

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
