It was an amazing experience, seeing how that machine worked, because it is a gigantic machine, but it's also very human. All the crew, the catering staff and management are very friendly and very easy-going and very kind to support bands.

We are very proud of what we've done. Before we went into the studio we were genuinely worried that it might be hard. But the second we started writing the songs just came pouring out. The real work for me was the words, but the music, that was, well not easy, but natural.

We met the coach this morning and had a brief chat. He obviously has years of experience in the game.

The fitting room experience has been terrific and we're very, very pleased. We're very pleased with the amount of items she's buying per transaction.
