5 - the fan community knows that you were a close friend of the late Freddie Mercury. This One's on Me, one of the albums in the box was produced by him. Talk to us about it.

Yes he did, some of the songs on the album I had already been performing live. He also encouraged me to write my own songs.

We met at a restaurant in Fulham Road through our mutual managers, we were introduced. The rest is history!

It was great, it was wonderful. I was rehearsing Cassius in a production of Julius Cesar at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre. Finished at 6pm drove to London, hair make – up, costumes. Filmed the video throughout the night and returned to Bristol for 10 am rehearsals. Exhausting! but what an experience?
