A hug from Johnny Borrell, a drink with Liam Gallagher, admiring glances form Girls Aloud’s Sarah Harding- for a big brother contestant last nights amp awards bash would be long wet dream. For any of the class of 2009- a Monkey, a Klaxxon or even a Horror it would at least confirm their arrival into the palace of sin called pop stardom. But for Birdtron- poet, punk veteran bon vivuer- it was merely “the usual shenanigans” a night out like any other, in the past month he has jammed with Paul Weller, gigged with Noel Gallagher and busked with Supergrass for worthy causes ranging from teen help to curing cancer. Last week he even rubbed shoulders with Tom Cruise at the London premier of his latest blockbuster. “ I went to the premier” he confessed “I thought I’d get the red carpet treatment, but I ended up slumped other in the bar after the show drinking champagne with Chris Martin getting a how to save the world speech.” Then there’s dealing with the fates of his ex-band mates and their troubled relationships in and out of the papers. Birdtron definitely has a lot of explaining to do so we sent out chief reporter Helen Jameson out to do some work.
AMP” So Bird what do you say to those who feel that your new album has made your music look simple and easy?” BT” Bollocks to them tossers they haven’t got a clue, let the fans judge, that’s what I say. The fans like it, it flew to number 1, it’s a big hit in my eyes.”
AMP” Since you and the boys have split up you have gone on to big things, has this effected your relationship with lads?”BT” well obviously there were problems otherwise we wouldn’t of split up but I think I wanted to go solo but as far as I am concerned we are all in the band till we die, so we are still mates.”
AMP” What’s your favourite thing about your new album?” BT” That’s a difficult question to answer, when you listen to albums you have favourites but when you make one you like them all because you wrote them and you wouldn’t if you didn’t like them, if anything the reception from the fans has probably been the best thing. I didn’t and the company certainly didn’t expect all the success especially with the mixture of the fan base but that’s something you want from a album is to attract people whop wouldn’t usually want it.”
AMP” How is the tour going so far?” BT” The tour has been ridicules thus far and I am sure it will get better, to go from pubs to selling out Wembley is amazing so its been a tremendous experience. I wasn’t expecting such an amazing atmosphere bet its been unbelievable and then hen I goes slow and the whole crowd sing along its just wow.”
AMP” Once the tour is done then what will you pursue a break or a reunion?” BT” Erm, I will probably have a little break to get my head straight but after that I am not sure, I certainly wouldn’t rule out a reunion because me and the lads are such good friends but with us just making up we wouldn’t want to have a rift again but never say never.”
AMP” Finally, going from a small time band to the largest selling solo artist of the year how could you describe your story?” BT” Its really been awesome from the difference in venues to people coming up and saying that your music means something to them is wicked, also the girls aren’t bad either. I guess to some it all up I need to borrow words from Vinnie Jones, Its Been Emotional.
I feel that my interview is very similar to thoise of my rivals but with a little bit more umph. I have used references to alot of bands and people who are genre icons in this type of music and those references should resonate with the reader to create a coolness of the magazine and provides a vivid description of luxurious award ceremonies and thus creates an idealic daydream for my readers who aspire to success.
When i compare my interview to some of the interviews of my magazines competition i see alot of similarities When i compare it to the market leader NME's interviews.
