So guys, how did the band start?
Jamie: Well, the band started out with Rob and me, we just loved music, going to gigs and eventually started playing gigs.
Rob: Yeah, practicing every day after school.
So, what about Fred?
Rob: Fred was a solo artist.
Fred: I played the saxophone for good four years, a bit random, but eventually decided the acoustic guitar was my true calling and that’s when I joined band.
Jamie: Yeah, the acoustic guitar is just such a mobile instrument you can take anywhere to perform, and since we don’t drive it was perfect for us.
Fred: …and the girls love it.
What is your latest single writer’s block about?
Fred: The song is more of an answer to the fact that you can’t write a song at that particular point in time.
How do you think your fans will react to it?
Fred: Well it’s all about your interpretation; it could mean anything and everything to you or simply nothing. I think that’s how a song should be, different to each individual person.
Rob: We only play music and write songs we want to listen to.
Jamie: Good Answer
How would you describe each other?
Fred: Jamie’s more of the old man of the group.

Who would you say inspires you guys?
Jamie: John Lennon, it’s got to be John Lennon, everything he wrote is just totally from his heart and soul.
Fred: The smiths, Bob Dylan, Thin Lizzy
Rob: Tom Yorke, Radio Head, Jamie: We love the Stone Roses.
So what’s next for Carousel?
Jamie: Well, our single ‘writer’s block’ is out now, available on Itunes. Our second single off the album is called ‘it’s a big issue’.
