Elliot Minor Interview

By Charlotte Ruffy and Lauren Smith

While backstage at the Sound Island Festival, Charlotte and Lauren were lucky to chat with one of the headlining bands Elliot Minor (a mix of emo, pop punk and indie)

Charlotte - Have you ever been to Thanet before? Would you come again?

All Together - Planet Thanet

Ali - I definitely am because my friends lives near by

Teddy - We definitely will, the crowds great!

Lauren - What advice would you give to anyone that wants to get into the music business?

Teddy - Just keep writing and Myspace

Ali - Practise live as much as you can

Ed - Experience helps a lot, whoever, wherever

Lauren - We found out that you’re all classically trained. So what are you classically trained in?

Ed - When you say classically trained it’s literally from the school that we all went to

Ali - Yeah, we were all in choirs and all sorts.

Charlotte - We also found out that you built your own recording studio how long did that take you?

Ed - It was hardly a recording studio, it’s like a microphone and a box.

Lauren - who has the worse habit in the band and what is it?

Ali - Ed picks his nose and eats it!

Ed - That’s so not true, seriously I don’t.

Lauren - You’re quite well known now, who would you say are the nicest famous

people you’ve met?

Ali - Probably The Hoosiers, they’re really nice guys.

Teddy - Mines easy, Tom Delong. I was so star struck all I could say was ‘sane base’

Lauren – Charlotte knows all about being star stuck. She jumped on Mcfly…

Ed – You jumped on them?

Lauren – um, ok we’ll leave it there…but thanks for letting us interview you guys and

hope to see you back in Thanet soon.
