So it was so rewarding to go back in February 2005 and play the Scala, which I'd done supporting Joss, which was incredibly satisfying. May is going to be a blast! Every show we've done has been sold out since November and the tickets are going well and we're doing Shepherd's Bush Empire, so it's kind of stepped up a level with bigger venues, so I'm just really looking forward to the challenge of that really.

ILM: You've been playing live since the Kent School in the USA, with The Happy Campers, when you managed to win Battle Of The Bands with one mandolin player. What's your current favourite song to play live and your favourite live experience seeing someone else play?

KT: Singing live is interesting because it's so subjective for the evening; how you feel and which ones you're relating to that day. But, on the whole, False Alarm is me at my most vulnerable on this album, and it's just a very personal song. So singing that is always pretty moving and also, there's a little tune I do at the end of the live gigs that isn't on the album called, Through Me A Rope, and that is such a lovely song to sing. It's just a little picking tune about missing your man and I always really enjoy that, because we finish with Suddenly I See, which as a band that's the best tune to play. It's so up and the keyboard player is hitting a bin lid with a tambourine and we're all just going for it, and then to follow that with this little picking thing on my own, it's such a contrast, and as a live performer it's dynamics that's exciting.
