And stayed there as part of the project continues, which is fine as sign of good relationship between us. | ||
How does the idea of a greatest hits tour atypical emerged from a rock slope ? | |||
A couple of years in the United States conducted a rather unusual project - show, called 'The Wheel' (wheel), a show with a lot of theatrical elements and a theatrical level vodevilescos but in its musical section was fascinating, because the repertoire we played every night mostly decided what the audience: the wheel turned and where | A couple of years in the United States conducted a rather unusual project - show, called 'The Wheel' (wheel), a show with a lot of theatrical elements and a theatrical level vodevilescos but in its musical section was fascinating, because the repertoire we played every night mostly decided what the audience: the wheel turned and box where he stood, this was for the title of one of our songs. That led us to perhaps have a 50 song lists of any age and gender. | ||
After the experience of 'The Wheel', last year we did an extensive tour, especially, Britain had a very long and circus title, The Spectacular Return of the Spectacular Spinning Songbook, and where that air we kept vaudeville and where the music we basically decided, but with a very, very broad chronological margins. | After the experience of 'The Wheel', last year we did an extensive tour, especially, Britain had a very long and circus title , The Spectacular Return of the Spectacular Spinning Songbook , and where that air we kept vaudeville and where the music we basically decided, but with a very, very broad chronological margins. | ||

This retrieval operation older material, what is the spirit that dominates you ? | |||
I believe we played those songs so many years with the same 'feeling' of the times when they were written . Do not know if it's difficult, odd or strange, but it's the only way that I have, we have, to sing and touch them. And in general the feeling which dominates on this tour, this project is a great joy to see how we had ourselves and the public , and also to see some issues on which I had my doubts, at very graceful in this new visit. | I believe we played those songs so many years with the same 'feeling' of the times when they were written .

That is, rather little nostalgic. | |||
No, there is not. Among other reasons because it gives me the feeling that many of these songs, which have a more general thematic say, collectively, continue to talk about things and situations that I think are very valid. But beyond this, my attitude and the Imposters is nothing nostalgic or melancholy or suchlike. Many of them are rock songs, which have become adjectives new wave or punk, but they basically have that initial spirit. And now, since we have reinstated our repertoire and rehearsing, the truth is that they sound much better. | No, there is not.

Among these issues is rescued Tramp The Dirt Down, a song that became very popular when it appeared in 1989 for his antithatcherista content. A few months ago passed the Iron Lady. | |||
The real truth is that this song was not going to sing more. Last year, however, he was told that tour, the opportunity arose to interpret it and so I did. And I did it because many of the things I wrote in folk ballad that makes25! Still largely in force in Britain. She was a very active, critical and combative song, it is true, against the disastrous policy of Margaret Thatcher. | The real truth is that this song was not going to sing more .

Course. The last municipal elections saddened me and I confirmed that in Britain there are many complex groups. As we feel that in Europe we do not want and will not accept us as we are, we believe we can isolate as if the world were not global. For me, seeing these movements of collective will depress me a little, but would have to see what my concern would vote in parliamentary elections compatriots. | Course.
