The MOJO Interview: Seasick Steve

Being interviewd by Colin Irwin

Seasick Steve realy entertained his fans in the Club Tent during his interview with Colin Irwin from MOJO Magazine.  With his trademark beard and cap the blues man swigged from what looked like a bottle of wine while being quizzed by the audience.

The crowd were in stitches with his tales of living as a hobo, busking to pay the rent, playing his three-string guitar and diddley bow, and how how he almost muked up hitting the big time during his appearance on 'Later... With Jools Holland'.

He also told the fascinated audience about his trip to the Brits earlier this year when he was nominated for an award. The singer and his band mate busked at Earls Court tube station on their way and made £16.50!  However, when they arrived at the glitzy event they were turned away from the red carpet by bouncers!

Seasick also confessed that the only thing that's changed since he found fame is not sweating too much when he fills his car up with petrol.

Street Voices

Backstage after the interview Street Voices, a local group of current and ex-homeless people who busk in the streets of Cambridge, played privately to Seasick Steve after he invited them to. After that, he signed a few autographs for waiting fans then scooted off to his dressing room backstage to prepare for his performance tonight.
