1. Please introduce yourself and give us the backstory on how the band you got started.

Hi, I’m Luke Pritchard and I never expected to be the frontman of a band but when I was a teenager at music college I was playing a song I wrote “sofa song” on the street and was approached by Mr Hugh Harris who asked if I had more songs – that was the birth of the band! 

2. How would you describe your music?

Nothing too serious. 

3. Who are your biggest influences?

Currently: my dad, Bob Dylan and Nancy Meyers. 

4. What was the inspiration behind your new single, 'Sunny Baby'?

It was a rainy day in London and I was in my basement studio at home – my kids running in and out of the room so let’s just say I didn’t have a lot of time to overthink this one. It’s about falling in love with someone who helped me love myself again – and having beautiful children and a fucking great time.

5. What would surprise people most about you?

I don’t love the seaside.
