O'Bailey: ilikemusic because... I can live vicariously through a song, whether it's a screaming angry rock anthem or a silly kids song ("I'm a little yellow fish" anyone?) haha!
Daniel: ilikemusic because... When you can finally stop listening to mainstream so called POP and HIPHOP

Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.

ILM: You've worked on a lot of film and TV themes too. What's your advice to musicians in getting into writing for film and TV?
HAYLEY: I haven't done any writing, I've just been lending my vocals to soundtracks. There's a drama series called Jekyll for the BBC. And I've recorded the vocals for the soundtrack as well as the theme song. There's a British film coming out called Flood, which I've sung the theme song for. What else? The Merchant of Venice starring Al Pacino, I sang the end titles song for that. It's really exciting because you get to see the visuals and you get to see the previews too. I'm doing some more recording for Jekyll tomorrow.
Once you get involved in one song, people start inviting you to get involved in other films. So if anyone wants to get into it, I guess, start small and work your way up really. Do a score for a small film and hopefully people will start taking notice and use you for a bigger film.
ILM: What songs do you enjoy playing live the most?
HAYLEY: Well in my shows, I include classical, folk and a bit of easy listening pop, so I take the audience on a real journey, and each style adds a lot to the concert, so it's really hard to choose. At the moment though, I'm a big fan of folk. I think the album is definitely folk influenced. But, I enjoy singing classical and pop as well. I like fusing styles together.
