"The Moody Blues meant so much to me & so much to so many people. I'm very proud of it & that's why I want to keep playing those songs & keep it fresh & alive. I want to keep it going."

Has any songwriter ever been more perfectly human than Kirsty MacColl? Intelligent, witty, wilful, vulnerable, contrary, mind-bogglingly talented....

"It’s the same kind of excitement, playing music, as in a sexual relationship & the two go hand-in-hand & I think I find music physically exciting as well — actually playing loud music & standing in front of a bass amplifier is quite a sexual experience, I think"
