Tell me that wouldn’t be the best band ever. Ego problems would not be an issue with Humph in the room. 

Favourite instrument you own? Hammond M-102 organ with a Leslie 145 speaker. Together they weigh about as much as a small shirehorse. For some reason the rest of the band aren’t that bothered about giving me a hand carrying it to gigs…

Best single of all time? River Deep, Mountain High: Ike and Tina Turner

Best album of all time? Miles Davis: In a Silent Way

First record you bought? Blondie: Denis.

First gig? Showaddywaddy, Sheffield City Hall. (They were brilliant and I had tinnitus for about a week.)

Most embarrassing possession? “Kenny And Dolly: Real Love” video. OK, it’s not actually mine but I shouldn’t allow it in my house.
