Thankfully I'm not endlessly ambitious, but I have done some crazy ambitious things like buying an island off the west coast of Scotland in the late Sixties.
We all have roles in life. I'm a dad, a husband, this and that, but basically I only feel justified in being alive when I'm on the stage.

I've always been interested in any kind of great music, and African music is, I think, the source of it all.
I know he played on the last record but I don't wake up in the middle of the night thinking of Eric Clapton.
