It says:

Name, where are you from? 
Adam Ian Sykes of Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. We’re from Newcastle Upon Tyne. Home of Mark Knoplfer and unfortunately, Sting.

Describe your style in three words?

If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history? 
Playing with Earth would be nice. And, my God is it cliché but Hendrix would be even nicer.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history? 
Alice Coltrane, from both a musical perspective and a spiritual one.

Of all the venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
