What is it like being [Ab] English?
[E] Well, we get asked [A] this question a lot.
Yeah, it's true.
It's [Gb] actually quite normal.
Like, growing up it wasn't a big thing.
It wasn't sort of something
[A] Growing up, we weren't aware [E] that it was ever an issue.
We were, you know, we just [D] had a father who was a musician
and [Bm] he was well known, but it never really occurred to [B] us as being a big [Am] thing.
It was very normal.
Yeah, we weren't really like taught to idolise it.
Do you know what I mean?
It [G] was just like he was our [Db] dad and that was it really.
I think [Abm] later in life [E] it's more of a
Yeah, [Ab] and also we grew up in a [A] very creative environment.
A lot of our good friends, their parents were artists or [D] musicians
or performers in their own right, so it was never anything out of the norm per se.
Had an unusual [E] upbringing, [D] so
Yeah, luckily very [A] creative.
We were allowed to be very free and express [D] ourselves
and I think that's where we [G] both kind of [E] grew into our own [C] sort of art forms.
You being a musician yourself [G] and me being a sort of DIYer.
[Bm] Yeah.
Yeah, [B] we were allowed [C] to have total freedom of expression
which was very [D] lucky and perhaps unusual in hindsight.
[G]
[Bm] Okay, that was the [C] question.
Is that alright?
[A] Did that answer it okay for you?
[C] Yeah.
Okay.
Anything else you want to [Am] ask?
[G] Yeah, go [F] for it.
You said you were brought up unusually?
We were given no rules.
Yeah, our dad [G] had grown up in [F] quite an authoritarian background.
Our grandfather being a [C] diplomat and [Ab] very concerned [G] with sort of the world of academia
[A] and he was obviously quite a [D] free spirit growing [C] up
and [A] he kind of wasn't kind of [F]
confining [Gb] himself to [A] his boarding school background.
He was a bit of a [Eb] free spirit and a [Gb] wild child
and I think he had a lot of tension with [F] his own father about this kind of relationship
[Am] and so when we grew up he decided that he [A] was never going to read our [F] school reports
and we were totally allowed to do what we [A] wanted
and there [G] were no rules [Ab] implied whatsoever.
So Lola and [E] I were left to just be [A] completely crazy.
I think as a result I was more concerned about my school report.
Well, yeah, yeah.
It's your aftercare a bit more in a way.
Lola was very, very good at being kind of well
Well, we had to create our own rules in a way which [G] I think was good.
It helped [Bb] us.
But, you know, we both turned out incredibly sensible [Eb] and so perhaps that [Ab] kind of
[G] You know, we're very well adjusted young women
so I think in one sense that kind of total freedom really worked.
You know, it could have gone [Dm] one way or the other but [A] in our case luckily we've turned out alright.
Of course, chaos is kids [E] probably.
Yeah, we were naughty as children but who isn't, you know?
[B]
[Am] Is that OK?
[A]
[Em]
Well, [Am] it's been a really big thing for us, like creating this at the ten year anniversary.
Lola and I have been very involved with the creation of [Am] the festival.
It's the tent we've put on.
Yeah, we've really put a lot of love
It's been a labour of love for [Ab] us to do this.
[A] A lot of work.
I've just had a baby two months ago so
She's been here every [E] day.
Yeah, I've been here every [B] day.
And [E] going to a [Bm] [A]
studio
We can have a little creative [B] space together and we bring the baby [Am] there
and [E] we've been organising this [B]
in the background for the last two months
so, [Abm] you know, we've loved it and it's been really important for us to kind of show our
[A] ongoing support and love for the Stromerville cause.
[B] All our close family and [E] friends were involved doing [Abm] something for a different [D] area
and I think that's what's been the [G] best thing about it, [E] bringing all that together. Yeah, exactly.
Bringing Jo's family and [A] friends together and fans together all in one place
in a [E] really family-friendly kind of environment where everyone [B] is free to mingle
[E]
and [G] co-exist [E] and be creatively connected in some way.
