Meet the Team...

Editor/Designer

Stuart Keeler

Welcome to theJune/July edition ofThe Gig Guide

magazine. It seems like the timebetween issues keeps gettingshorter! With so many eventshappening during the summermonths, there’s plenty to enjoy

all over Kent during June and July.

Sadly, we have to say goodbye to Qfest as it has nowbeen officially cancelled. It promised to bring a newtype of festival to East Kent, providing a wholeweekend of live music at the Quex Park site but withso much competition it became hard to guarantee thefestival would run successfully and credit must be givento the organisers for making the hard decision to pullout rather than continue to provide a substandardevent.

Meanwhile, there is still the heavyweights of Sellindge,Lounge On The Farm, Hop Farm Festival, Sound Islandand Hevy to enjoy, with plenty of top names gracingthose Kent stages!

Have a great summer and enjoy the read.

BY AIDAN BYRNE

Set in the idyllic surrounds of Merton Farm inCanterbury, Lounge on The Farm, winner ofthe UK Festival Awards’ Best Line Up

Award 2009, has once again pulled out all thestops to assemble a fantastically eclectic bill,that doesn’t follow the herd. Predicting a‘Heatwave’ to celebrate its landmark fifth

birthday celebrations on the weekend of 9-11th

July 2010 headliners at this year’s event includeMartha Reeves & The Vandellas who will be‘Ridin’ High’ on Saturday night in the Cow Shedand Toots & The Maytals who will be dropping‘Sensational Ska’ to close the festival on Sundayevening.

With increased capacity, this year’s Lounge OnThe Farm looks set to be the finest yet, with amedley of musical pleasures - from local heroesand the next big things to the truly legendary -spread across seven stages, there’s something foreveryone. Plus there will be incredible comedyfrom the likes of Phill Jupitus & His Impro AllStars, theatre performances, burlesque andvaudeville treats and the kids’ Little Lounge areathat has a wealth of junior festival pursuits tokeep the little ones occupied for hours.

One thing that sets Lounge On The Farm apartfrom other events is that it isn’t just about theamazing music and entertainment line up. Thefestival prides itself on the quality and quantityof the local food and drink on offer. Since beingnamed “Best Festival for Foodies” by TheGuardian in 2008 LOTF hasn’t looked back,developing great links with the finest foodproducers from the Garden of England. Localbrewery and Queen’s Award winning ShepherdNeame are supporting the event for the fifthyear running, supplying Oranjeboom and Spitfiredraught, as well as a bespoke LOTF Festival Alemade from the finest Kentish ingredients totantalise the taste buds. Add in the fact that RickStein food heroes Pawley Farm will be back withtheir very own LOTF Cider and Lounge on theFarm has got all bases covered for yourbespoke alcoholic action.

Festival faves such as Al’s Hogroast, Haji Baji’scurry-stop and The Farmhouse Pie & MashKitchen are all back, and again Merton Farm,the very place on whose land the festival-goersare partying, will be serving up mouth wateringlamb kebabs and beef burgers from animalsraised on the farm itself.

Get ApeBand Spotlight

8 | The Gig Guide | June - July

Based in East Kent, Get Ape consists of PaulCuffley (Ashford), Colin Lovatt (Whitstable),Kevin Morhen (Reculver), Paul Morhen

(Maidstone) and Andy Benn (Maidstone).

The band was originally started by Paul M andAndy, with the idea of expanding whilstdeveloping their unique soulful acoustic sound asa duo. Subsequently, the full five-piece line-upnow includes Paul C on drums, Kevin on bass andColin with a full percussion section. The lattertakes the band to another level of musicaldynamics and this line up has been together foralmost two years now.

Get Ape specialize in corporate events,weddings, high profile restaurant chains &exclusive hotels. Last year was really good forthe band, especially in the Spring and Summerwith the volume of festivals and weddings takingplace. 2010 looks set to be even better, beingheavily booked for weddings and parties as wellas appearances at ‘Music For Life’ at MargateCricket Club and ‘Theatre In The Park’ at StrodePark on the cards already.

Colin states: “We’re all very experiencedmusicians who’ve played in many bands, but whatmakes this band unique is that we’ve never playeda bad gig! We’ve been asked which bands weconsider to be ‘our rivals’, but we don’t view otherbands in this way because Get Ape is doingsomething fresh and different from the usualcheesy wedding, party/function bands. Wepromise you won’t hear ‘Mustang Sally’ or ‘BrownEyed Girl’! We always aim to deliver great musicwith great style and enthusiasm.”

Their fresh sounding and modern repertoirecovers artists such as Jamiroquai, Stevie Wonder,

Daniel Merriweather, Michael Jackson, Estelle,JLS, Amy Winehouse and the Artic Monkeys. Theband are able to deliver a big sound which isguaranteed to get people on their feet andkeep them on the dance floor!

Sound Island Festival

Staged annually over the final weekend in Julyat Quex Park Birchington, the Sound IslandFestival is a prime example of an urban

festival; a new breed of intimate “boutique” musicevents.

Technology has opened up a vast array of easilyaccessible music to all ages. The music of their forefathers is being “rediscovered” and appreciatedby the younger generations whose parents andeven grandparents are availing themselves to andenjoying the music of their children.

The choice of artistes for the Festival is determinedby the demands of the emerging, eclecticmarketplace. Each day attracts its own definedaudience, drawn from across the demographics ofat least three generations of music lovers. Eachday’s genré maintains its own identity and essentialappeal.

The ethos of the Festival is to provide a regional,easy accessible, option for the more discerningconcert goers who prefer their favourite style ofmusic with a little more space and a lot less hassle.The event aims to provide the opportunity of an“up close” experience with popular, current andclassic artistes in attractive and comfortablesurroundings.

Having graduated from Christchurch

University’s Commercial Music course,

Richard Batchelor knows a thing or two about

music.

Here, he casts his expert eye over the material

of Kent-based artists as well as national

releases, giving his thoughts on the music.

No genre unlistened to, you can rely on Richard

to give his best and honest opinion with each

and every piece of music we receive.

Band: CWB

Title: Fun Fair Carousel Ride

Format: Single (3 Tracks)

CWB are a three piece punk/rock band hailing from Canterbury

and the first thing I thought when listening to them was of the Band

Garbage, with a bit of added ska rhythm. While ‘Carousel’ is furiously

catchy, ‘It’s Time To Talk’ is somewhat of a ballad number, but both

demand your attention and its not hard to see why they are catching

lots of attention.

They’re playing several local venues in June (see the website for

details) as well as playing the prestigious Lounge On The Farm Festival

in July. I’ll be there and am hoping to hear plenty more songs!

Band: Get ApeTitle: UntitledFormat: EP (5 Tracks)

Get Ape are a five piece soul/funk cover band from Maidstone.This promotional album gives just a taste of the songs they cover if youhire them for Gigs. I got to listen to ‘American Boy’ by Estelle, ‘Black &Gold’ by Sam Sparro, ‘Cosmic Girl’ by Jamaroqui and ‘Billie Jean’ and‘Man in the Mirror’ by Michael Jackson.

The Song choices for Get Ape’s soul/funk style are spot on and suitevery song to the ground. I was particularly surprised by how well‘American Boy’ worked! You can listen to further songs on their websiteand if you have a summer event coming up and need a band; pickthese dudes. You won’t be disappointed!

Gig Guide Verdict:

Band: Kate NashTitle: My Best Friend Is YouFormat: Album (13 Tracks)

On this follow-up album, Kate sticks to the quirky lyrics that litteredher debut ‘Made From Bricks’, with ‘Pickpocket’ and ‘Later On’ beinggood examples of this. Sound-wise, Kate tries several differentdirections and there are still some ferociously catchy numbers to befound in ‘Paris’ and lead single ‘Do-Wah-Doo’, but it is surprisinglymature in sections compared to her debut, adopting for a retro feel.Those looking for Kate’s sweeter side can find it on ‘Early ChristmasPresent’ and ‘Do You Want To Share The Guilt’ and for her foul mouth;the hilarious ‘Mansion Song’. As a whole album not all of it works; it’s abit uneven and a bit too unpredictable for its own good, but you can’tdeny her bravery to reach new sounds and this is still a good album.She’s got a long career ahead of her, one step at a time she’ll find thesound that defines her.Link: www.katenash.co.uk

Band: Galley BeggarTitle: Reformation HouseFormat: EP (3 Tracks)

Galley Beggar are a 7 piece folk rock group currently on touraround London and when they make folk music this good I can’t wait forthem to tour Kent! I can hear so many different genres and themesinvolved, medieval waltz’s on track one (‘The Outlandish Knight’) to adistinct cross between Led Zeppelin and Fairport Convention.

Gorgeous harmonies elevate track two (‘Sun God’) and three(‘Rowan’) and its great to see story-telling folk still being made. I hopeit’s a genre that never dies out. The British folk music scene is healthierthan ever with bands like Mumford and Sons and Stornoway. GalleyBeggar deserve to be up there too, I can’t wait to review a wholealbum and hopefully see them live.

Link: www.myspace.com/galleybeggar

Band: Theatre RoyalTitle: From Rubble RisesFormat: Album (11 Tracks)

Theatre Royal originally comprised of ‘Chatham Jack’ Billy Childishand Lupen Crook, whose music I couldn’t praise enough a few monthsago. A year has passed since they parted ways and now OliverBurgess and Robbie Wilkinson are leading the front line, so what havethey done? Created an absolutely fantastic album!

Creating an irresistible mix of acoustic indie, americana and low fipop, there are gems of songs from 1 through to 11, ‘Spit and aDream’, ‘If You Could Stand Up (You’d Walk Away)’ and ‘The ShapeOf Things to Come’ are particular stand outs and deserve radio play!.A terrific debut album.

Band Spotlight

16 | The Gig Guide | April - May

BY LUKE YATES

A Wednesday night, in a wine bar in Ashforddoesn’t sound like the most promising scenariofor witnessing decent live rock music. Yet by theend of the evening, Flatlung have not onlymanaged to draw a decent crowd at Utopia, buthave thoroughly entertained them with a mix oftheir own songs and innovative and unusualcovers. The crowd goes home buzzing about theyoung band they’ve just seen.

FlatLung recently qualified for the regional finalsof MySpace’s Live and Unsigned, and despitebeing up against many much older and moreexperienced artists, did very well indeed. This

experience can only do them more good, andraise their profile.

The band comprises of several members, and theline-up has altered over time as the band hassettled down into its current configuration.Nobody would argue though, that the foundationof the band is the pairing of brothers Jericho(Jez) and Joel Tozer. Inspired by a family, andespecially a father who have a common love formusic, at times this sibling relationship makes foran intuitive, almost telepathic link between thelead and rhythm section, making for someincredibly tight riffs and changes in their music.

Flat Lung


Joel provides solid yet creative riffs on the bass(on occasion a full-size white double bass), whilstJez drives the songs with his characteristic string-snapping powerful rhythm guitar, and extremelymemorable and mature-sounding vocals.

Jez and Joel are joined by the extremelycompetent Kerry Smith on percussion, and theunderstated but extremely gifted Sam Longstonplaying lead guitar. Sam’s riffs and solos areoften brilliantly simple, and always appropriateto the theme of the song, already showing muchmaturity and confidence in his playing, somethingoften not found in guitarists twice his age. Onbacking vocals Sarah Saull contributes somechilling, yet soothing tones to compliment Jez’smore aggressive singing style. But perhaps thereal secret to FlatLung’s popularity is thecreative genius housed in the band, showingitself in the manifestation of some brilliantoriginal sounding own material. The list of songson the band’s repertoire are already far morethan one set, and the list is growing all the time,thanks to at least one gifted songwriter in theirmidst.

One of their songs ‘Hat Back Dear’ is a firmfavourite with gig-goers, and is guaranteed toget even the newbies singing along andcontinuing to hum it as they go out the door.Therein lies the appeal of FlatLung; their tunesare sincere, yet simple and memorable.Songwriter Jez, even at such a relatively youngage, shows all the signs of being potentially asbrilliant as the likes of McCartney, Cobain, and

Weller. His genius is in the simplicity, and thehonest, relevant lyrics he pens. His songs, as aresult are catchy, poignant and memorable. Andto date, he’s written over in excess of 40 songs.

Despite their relatively short career so far,Flatlung have already grown a very loyal localfollowing, and perhaps most tellingly, they arewilling to play at any opportunity, includingsupporting their dad Andy’s pub band Gherkin,whose audience always seem very appreciativeof their original and innovative songs, amidst anevening of Gherkin’s usual rock covers.

Flatlung have passion. Rather than playing to getgigs, it is clear to all that their attitude appearsto be to get gigs, so that they are able to play.A passion and drive that often gets lost in older,more cynical bands, and a positive outlook whichdoes them nothing but credit. With bands likeFlatlung around, the future of the local musicscene looks very promising indeed.

INTERVIEW BY JEZ SILCOCK

Last August saw local promoters ‘Hevy’ put ontheir first major outdoor live event; the HevyMusic Festival, which brought three stages of

live music to Folkestone’s seafront. Now, the HevyMusic Festival is back with a bang, taking placeover three full days, giving the event it’s fullweekend festival upgrade for 2010!

The site for this year’s event has moved to thePort Lympne Grounds, and promises to hostextreme sports displays and a fully fledgedfunfair, as well as the mass of live music on show.

Jez Silcock met up with James from Hevy todiscuss the festival...

Can you tell me a little bit about your

background and the thinking behind putting on

a totally hardcore festival?

“Claire and I started Hevy just under 3 yearsago. It all started with a few pub gigs inCanterbury, but over time the bands got bigger,then the venues got bigger and soon we were

tackling events at the Leas Cliff Hall - one ofKent's biggest venues! Last year the first ever HevyMusic Festival brought a one-day, 3-stage event toFolkestone seafront. It was a bit of a test run forus, to see if we were capable of stagingsomething of this scale - but the plan was alwaysto go for a weekend camping event this year. Theline-up was pretty broad last year - from GaryNuman to Cancer Bats and just about everythingin between! We had a very specific idea for whatwe wanted from this year's line-up and it's totallyfocused at a specific market. There’s some fantasticlittle festivals down here that offer a great family-friendly product. But we’ve always felt there’s aneed for something a little heavier, and that’s whatwe hope to be - Kent’s alternative music festival.We've booked incredible bands from all corners ofrock, punk, hardcore and metal.”

Last years Hevy attracted some big names but

this year you really have excelled yourselves.

Who are you looking forward to seeing most

this year?

“For me it has to be Glassjaw - the band aretruly legendary! They have directly inspired just

HEVYMUSIC

FESTIVAL6TH - 8TH AUGUST 2010


about every band you're likely to see in the pagesof Kerrang! and Rock Sound today, and theyNEVER venture over to the UK for festivals. To beflying them over from New York for a one-off,exclusive UK appearance this summer is incredibleand far beyond what we ever hoped for.”

And how much better is this years Hevy going

to be?

“This year's Hevy is going to be epic! We'removing to Port Lympne, which is a spectacular siteand somewhere we hope to develop this event overthe next few years. We have 4 stages of hugebands, insane extreme sports displays and somehand-picked state-of-the-art thrill rides! We'vespent months planning this festival from the groundup and everything on site has been chosen becauseit's a bit different to the norm. This is a totally newbreed of festival for the UK, and it's right on yourdoorstep.”

Which act would be your dream act to book?

“Ha - that's easy. We have this tradition thateach year we ask Rage Against The Machine toheadline Hevy. Last year we were a few millionshort - ah well - one day....”

Can we expect a Hevy 2011 and if so, can you

tell me the dates now so my wife doesn't book

my bloody holiday smack bang in the middle

of it?

“Ha ha - we'll be back! Probably at a similartime in August. I'll make sure we consult youbefore confirming our dates - we don't want thathappening again!”

You obviously keep an eye on the local music

scene too. Any bands caught your eye (or

ears) especially? Feed The Rhino were added

to the bill early...

“There's a crazy amount of talent in this cornerof the UK. We have our Local Heroes stage toshowcase some of the area's greatest bands. It'sright next to, and alternates with the main stagewhich gives these local bands the chance to playalongside the huge acts that they aspire to - whichis really cool. We've always wanted to supportand develop the local music scene as much as wecan, especially as that is how we started - withupcoming bands in tiny pubs.”

Who would you recruit for your fantasy super

group (dead or alive artistes)?

“I'm a huge Chilis fan, and used to play drumsfor a band so it would definitely be Chad Smithproviding the beats. We also have a soft spot forridiculously meaty bass riffs so Rage's TimCommerford would take care of that nicely. OmarRodríguez-López from At The Drive In on guitar -because he's a genius, and probably Brandon Boydfrom Incubus on lead vocals because his voice isamazing - and Claire fancies him.”

Ha ha and finally James, any ridiculous rider

requests as yet?

“We need to find some Star Wars figurinesfor one of the bands - which is a bit weird! Butmostly its a lot of alcohol - lots and lots ofalcohol!

Snowboy and the LatinSection meets KYJO

BY MICHAEL LAKE

There seems to be something of a jazzhappening going on in the Medway townswhich is why for consecutive months I’ve

found myself navigating the cresta run, that isChatham’s one way system, on the way to theBrook Theatre. On this occasion it was to see oneof Britain’s best Latin Jazz bands; Snowboy andthe Latin Section (purveyors of hard core Africacuban jazz), performing with KYJO aka the KentYouth Jazz Orchestra.

I actually wrote this article in London aftercelebrating my Godson’s 18th birthday. To beprecise I composed it, ran a spell check, boughtand read the two Sunday papers, drank a

coffee in Starbucks and watched half ofSomething for the Weekend, in the time it tookAlex, to get in and out of the bathroom. It isclear to me which section of the community isresponsible for national water shortages. Thetransition from not wanting to pick up a flannel to OCD’ing on personal hygiene is

worth further study as the “ablutions evolution”phenomena.

I mention this because given the above, andretrospectively, it was surprising to see all of theteenage members of KYJO stationed and readyto play as the curtain rose and lights came down.Full marks to Graham Mann KYJO’s MusicalDirector. It would be interesting to know whatmind or behavioural control methods he uses onhis youthful charges. I suspect Pavlov, Skinner andHitler are strong influences.

It was a very interesting collaboration and theband members Snowboy (Mark Cotgrove) andtrumpeter Sid Gauld, in particular, have to becommended for their enthusiasm and theencouragement given to Kent’s future jazz stars.The gig itself was very much one of two halveswith KYJO taking centre stage in the first halfand the roles reversed in the second. Theopening number was a cool version of

Snowboy and the LatinSection meets KYJO


Feature: Snowboy and the Latin Section meets KYJO

what sounded like “No Pablo Espanol”. Ihad to smile at the extended trombone solo fromthe aforementioned MD and teacher. It reminded

me of that scene in Kez, and secondary schoolPE lessons, where the teacher runs the length ofthe footie pitch knocking the pupils out of theway to score a goal, without I might add the egomanic overtones.

There were many gig highlights such as; thesweet vocals of Heather Andrews on “Sway”, a

version of Mambo from Westside story, whichwas as tight as an Aussies elbow and somestratospheric trumpet playing by Sid Gauld on“Charging your batteries”. It was actually a veryeventful gig, both on and off stage, includingwhat appeared to be a heart attack within theaudience, I suspect not the first at a jazz gig (alljoking aside we hope the chap is ok). Notablysitting amongst the crowd was none other thanJames Taylor of the excellent and versatile“James Taylor Quartet”. As the readers of theGIG Guide and therefore musicologists will knowthe JTQ was responsible for the Starsky andHutch theme tune, de de dud de der de dud derdud er de etc. and the opening track from thefirst Austin Powers movie. God bless youWikipedia!

Anyhow, check out “Communication” which isSnowboy and the Latin Section’s latest album onFreestyle Records.

BY DUDLEY ROSS

There are not many amps out there that youcould plug into directly and it instantlysounds great. The WKZ is what I call a

‘meat and potatoes’ amp, simple controls, nounnecessary features, which results in a clear,high class valve tone.

Martin Wisbey, the man behind WKZ ampsasked me to record a demo track for the LittleDevil a few years back. We had the legendaryChris Tsangarides (Thin Lizzy, Anvil, Judas Priest)producing it. Chris did a great job of capturingthe real tone of the amp on the recording. I triedto show off the amp in as many styles as I couldin five minutes. Over six different guitars wereused on the recording, including one of YngwieMalmsteen’s Strat, that was given to Chris by theman himself (didn’t want to give that back). Youcan check out the track by clicking the sampleslink on the WKZ website, there is also a

good breakdown of guitar/amp combination foryou to read.

Since the session with Chris Tsangarides, bothmyself and Chris own a WKZ and they havebeen used on many recordings since. I play a lotof styles and need an amp that can do anauthentic job and respond to my playing in amusical way and the WKZ does this. I do useother amps from time to time, but I always comeback to the WKZ and this is why I have beengigging it extensively for the last three years. It’sa well built amp, solid in fact, for three yearsI’ve thrown it around and it comes back wantingmore! I believe the WKZ can hold its own in anygenre from indie to metal, this is why it’s animportant part of my kit.

Go try one!www.wkz-amps.com

Interview


BY STUART KEELER

Ahead of his intimate Folkestone performance atQuarterhouse on 2nd July, we caught up withiconic magician Paul Daniels for a quick chat..

How are you?“Very well, yes astonishingly well; the sun is shining,

the swans are drifting by, cabin crews are going by,people waving, I shall wave back.”

Who have you admired and looked up to in theshow business world (both when you first started aswell as today)?

“I’m off on Friday touring Hong Kong, NewZealand and Los Angeles doing shows and seminars andone of the things in those seminars I always tell youngpeople coming into the magic world is don’t watchmagicians! Go and see people who have been top of thebill for a very long time in whatever the genre. Try andsee why they’ve stayed stars for a long time. Personally Ithought Cliff Richard was fairly bland until I saw himlive, and the show was fantastic. I’ve worked with peoplelike Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Bassey & Eartha Kitt, who arephenomenal performers. I like anybody who is reallygood at their job, not even necessarily in show business! Iwas taught to fence by a man who was practically aprofessor of fencing. Just watching him when the swordwent into his hand, it was just beautiful because hechanged and became one with it. I admire skilfulpeople… watching the man paint the rim on a rollsRoyce wheel, freehand! You don’t have to be in showbusiness for me to admire you.”

Who would you say is the greatest magician orillusionist of all time?

“You can’t say that as magic does not have just onefacet. You’ve got close up magicians, stage magicians,cabaret magicians, that are musical, dramatic orcomedic. Each of them has their own kind of style andgenre. You can’t say this one is ‘the best of all time’.Stage illusion wise; Harry Blackstone was absolutelyphenomenal. Lance Burton a different style again, a fullstage magician (a headliner still in Las Vegas). But thenon the comedic scene I like Matt King (also in Las Vegas)because there is no one magic.”

What do you make of today’s performers, inparticular the likes of David Blaine and DerrenBrown?

“Derren I’ve enjoyed. It’s a bit like saying we’rehaving a ‘sale of designer clothes’. I don’t know anythingthat hasn’t been designed in the first instance and everydesigner all their stuff isn’t good or they wouldn’t have asale! By the same token, I’ve admired lots of stuff thatDavid Copperfield, Paul Daniels and Derren Brown havedone, but other stuff I’ve seen them do I’ve gone ‘oh,why did you do that!’. I tend to watch shows through theeye of a director when you tend to go ‘nooo’ on somebits but the overall package of Derren is very good.David Blaine I’ve never seen, apart from on TV which isall edited so I don’t know if he can really do it. Thatseems to be a trend now coming particularly from

Paul Daniels


America but I know there’s guy in France copying thattrend now of using the editing suite to make the magicmore incredible and I don’t admire that at all. On TV I’vebuilt a credibility over 16 years by always having anaudience in the studio, one time even an audience ofjournalists where I told them if you see something onscreen that isn’t happening here live, please write about itand tell everyone because we never ever do cameratricks.”

Was you always interested in magic and can youremember a time when you thought you wouldn’tget to live out your dream?

“I didn’t have a dream really, I just enjoyed doingit. I started reading about it at 11 and I’m still readingabout it. As I look down now on the coffee table there’stwo magic books there. I’m still reading, designing andthinking as I think it’s a fabulous hobby. It’s vast, we havethe online shop (thepauldanielsmagicshop.co.uk) with7000+ lines of all different magic tricks. That shows youthe vast range of what you can become.”

It’s getting rarer to see traditional magician’s on TVnowadays, do you believe magic has lost some ofit’s appeal in recent years?

“I know it hasn’t lost it’s appeal from when I’m outdoing my live shows. The audiences are still loving it andcertainly there are about 2000 magicians in this countryall still working. Television however is being produced atthe cheapest level. They spend a bit on drama, but theother night I couldn’t find a single thing to watch on TV. Ihave no interest in cooking and I don’t think the peoplewho are interested in cooking could possibly watch allthe channels at the same time! So I think the commissionwriters have lost the plot. It’s very easy to get chefs towork for cheap to promote their books and restaurantsbut magicians and other entertainers across the board,certainly in the world of magic it’s quite an expensivething to create as you have to create new stuff every

week and if you are doing that, then the programbecomes quite expensive production wise and they’re notinterested in that at all. Then you get people like AlanYentob who doesn’t like magic as a form ofentertainment. Alan Yentob is probably the only man inthe world who could make Las Vegas boring! Did you seethat program? I was watching thinking this isn’t theVegas I know! I’ll be there in a few weeks and it’s not likethat at all, he’s the most boring presenter, who’s supposedto be in charge of a channel not presenting stuff!”

You are regularly blogging on your website aboutyour daily life, and twitter often. Do you find thesetools useful to keep in contact with your fans?

“It saves a lot of time. It’s either that or sit at thecomputer and type out dozens and dozens and dozens ofemails to fans. It’s much easier to say check the blog!”

Most magicians are deliberately enigmatic andsecretive, in a bid to upkeep their stage persona. Youhave always been a little more honest and openwith your magic. Do you think this is key in yourappeal to so many people?

“I probably think so, I’m not up my own backsidebut I think it’s a great hobby. I love baffling people. Ilove the surprise on their face and in their gasps. When Idid the full series, then I would ring the changes andpresent series pieces but in the main I like people to behappy. That works for me. There are others out therewhere it works different for them. Derren (Brown) forexample, is a much more serious presenter than I wasmost of the time but I did the stuff Derren does such asthe laboratory conditions.”

What made you decide to reveal your magictechniques in your Masterclass, and is it formagicians only as I thought it was forbidden toreveal magic secrets?

“They are advertised only in magic books but theinternet has opened that up and anyone could go along.The first masterclass I did was all about the business ofshow business and not about the tricks themselves. Thereare zillions of tricks and literally anybody can do them.Anyone can pull a bow across a violin but it isn’t music!What I did on the first masterclass was I taught thebusiness side of it; how to make money, how to getbookings, how to advertise, that kind of thing. The oneI’m about to launch now is much more based on howreally to develop your own style of personality instead ofcopying anybody else. How to make a normal magic trickinto an entertainment piece. So it’s the workings behindthe magic tricks, not the actual tricks themselves. I can’timagine anyone wanting to go otherwise, it’d be boringfor them!”

Interview: Paul Daniels


Where did the famous catchphrase “You’ll likethis... not a lot, but you’ll like it” come from?

“I got heckled in Bedford by a guy shouting “I don’tlike that suit” and I replied with “That’s a shame ‘cos Ilike yours… not a lot, but I like it”. Very shortlyafterwards I picked a trick and said “here’s a trick you’regoing to like” and remembering the laugh I got from theheckle before, I used an old comic device of repetitionand said “not a lot” and got another laugh. By the endof the show I’d got a catchphrase. It was a catchphraselong before I came on TV with all the people in the clubsin the north using it!”

I see the 80’s TV show ‘Wizbit’ is being brought backas an animated series. Do you think it will be aspopular as the original show, and will you befeaturing in it again yourself?

“I own all the rights to Wizbit… it’s all mine, it’smine I tell you! I got it farmed off out to apublisher/producer and Justine is looking after thebusiness of it and negotiating. There are already about 8books out with Wizbit in them and the animations arelooking excellent. So I will probably be doing thevoiceovers and just generally advising.”

You seem to have strong views in politics, what doyou make of the new coalition parliament?

“I’m very hopeful. My strong views on politics are abit different to the general trend in that I think it’s wrongto have the attitude of voting for the same party yourancestors have voted for. Look at what they’re about andwhat they’re up to and make your own mind up andquestion all the time. I watched over the last few yearsthis country going over £172 billion in debt and Ithought this is wrong for my country so I decidedpersonally we should have a change. So this time I votedconservatives. If the conservatives had cocked it uppreviously, I would have voted Labour just to bringsomeone else in. Equally I believe (and I’ve blogged it)that now labour are out, in the coming years they shouldhave representatives, probably non-voting representativesin the chambers learning what is going on. Right nowClegg and his team have come in with no experiencewhatsoever of what goes on in cabinet. I wish them welland to a degree the same can be said for Cameron’s lot.I’m a member of a charity where the members can comeand fit in on the council and watch and learn. They can’tpass opinions and can’t contribute (sometimes they dooffline as it where). At the moment we have this crazysystem whereby someone is appointed Home Secretarywhen they’ve never been Home secretary before anddon’t know what to do. I think it’s nonsense that weappoint people every few years (and indeed they changetheir mind if they upset the prime minister, every few

months). When I’m king it’s all going to change!”Is that going to be soon then?

“I’m going to get rid of debt from the bottomupwards. All credit cards must be called ‘Debt Cards’. Allbusinesses of any kind must always ask the question “doyou want to pay cash or put it on your debt” just to makepeople aware of where it’s going. That’s my first law, Ihave another 200 but you haven’t got time!”

What are your thoughts on talent show’s such as‘Britain’s Got Talent’? You got your first ‘break’ afterappearing on ‘Opportunity Knocks’ didn’t you?

“My first break was actually on a Saturday eveningvariety show called ‘Wheel Tappers and Shunters’.Opportunity Knocks did show me but I got a letter to sayI would come second about three weeks before I did theshow. The big advantage with Opportunity Knocks whichdid create stars no doubt about it.. stars who stayed fora long time at the top of the tree. The current trend is tomake them, use them cheaply for about ten months thendump them when you get the next lot up. I think that thebig advantage of Opportunity Knocks was they weededout all the bad acts and we never got to see them. Theremarks such as ‘you should leave showbusiness and do ita favour’ were said in audition rooms we never saw.People who are obviously sometimes mentally backwardwould not have to face a set of untalented judges whohaven’t been anywhere or done anything within thebusiness they are judging and I find that embarrassingand I can’t watch it! It’s just rudeness beyond belief. I’mnow tired of watching amateurs, I really am. X-factordoes nothing at all to contribute to entertainment as thereis no originality in it. Karaoke is a Japanese word and Ithink X Factor is the British translation! I just want towatch professionals again but you’re back to cheapnessagain. It’s only the judges that get paid. Now I like Ant &Dec but what are they doing standing in the wings doingnothing?”


What do you find more rewarding; to perform in thesmaller intimate venues or to perform to a TVaudience of millions?

“The big TV audience was never the ‘Big TVaudience’. I treat television as being two or three peoplesitting on a settee being about 12 feet away, that’s all aTV audience is. I like the mixture of my life. Televisionwas never a major source of my work or income, so whatI like is, for example this week I’m getting on a plane todo shows in Hong Kong, New Zealand, Los Angeles, thenfly back and do 20 one night stands around the countrywith the best of British variety show, then I might well goout and do a village hall. Last week I was at a privateparty for a multi-millionaire! I love the mixture and thevariety of my life. I turned down a year on Broadwaybecause I don’t want to be doing anything for a year. Iturned down a ten year contract in Vegas because I didn’twant to be anywhere for that long! I gave up the 9-5job as I like the Gypsy in my soul I guess.”

How was the experience of appearing on TV’s ‘XFactor: Battle of The Stars’ with your wife Debbie?

“Debbie and I treat things like that as just funadventures. They’re not our job and I think I said toSimon Cowell when he criticised something (don’t get mewrong me and Simon get along fine) I said “That’s why Ido card tricks”. I go and work in Las Vegas and I’ll get astanding ovation. I go to New Zealand and I’ll get astanding ovation which is very, very nice. Then I comeback to this country and they say will you come on ourshow and sing. That is basically what’s wrong. Will yougo in the jungle and have worms crawl all over you.What?! That’s not what I do best! If it’s for a good cause(like X-Factor was) I’ll do it but I knew we didn’t stand acat in hells chance! The following Saturday I had a gigalready booked. I do things like that for fun. That nightby the way was a fabulous night, what a good party thatwas. If you’re not having fun you shouldn’t be doing it.”

You own a magic & fancy dress shop in Wigan. Isthis because you want to give something back to thecommunity and to promote magic?

“No not really. If I don’t walk on a stage I don’tget paid! I love all these actors on daytime televisioncommenting how they took a part because it was deepand meaningful! Rubbish. They wanted to eat and getsome money. As it happens my son was looking forsomething to do and I’ve always mooted about having amagic shop. As it happened, we really use that. Thefancy dress side of it is much better and bigger ininterest terms but the magic shop is used because theonline shop needed a distribution base. It is purely abusiness. As for giving stuff back I do that with myseminars and lectures.”

The Gig Guide 6

Favourite Bar Snack?“Chicken Teriyaki Walkers Crisps.”

Myspace, Twitter, Facebook or MyTwitFace?“Twitter. Facebook is for old people!”

What’s the biggest animal you could defend yourselfagainst in unarmed combat?

“Most animals if you strike them with the base ofyour palm on their nose they really freak out. I don’tknow.. I tend to get along with animals. I’ve been incages with lions and tigers and they like me. Probablybecause I’m not big enough to eat! What animal wouldattack me? I would say a dog.”

What would be your message to the world?“Just do it.”

Got anything you want to get off your chest?“[laughs] Interviews! I don’t know, I’m kind of an

easy going guy. I don’t like idleness and I think peopleshould have to pass an exam before getting a passportas we do let some idiots go abroad and show up theBritish nation! I’m really against racism. I was readingthe other day that police are stopping the Englishwearing world cup shirts as it is upsetting people fromother cultures. If you stop them wearing it, you are beingracist against English people! I think it’s all silly.”

Tea or Coffee?“Yes please! I like both and I mix them up. In fact

that’s how I eat; a little bit of everything and a lot ofnothing.”
