Magazine article planning and interview questions
Article plan
Interview questions.
The interview questions I have chosen to be based upon a chilled, but quirky interview. I really want to
make the magazine easy to read, but also informative about the bands that are included. I have chosen some of the questions based above and others I have made in the moment to keep a steady flow to the interview. Below I have included the the interview questions and answers that I think would be right for what I want.
Interview plan
So Beth you’re back again! The world
of music has been questioning your return.
“I know, I know I have been away for some
time, but not without reason”!
Yes we’ve been rumoured that you’re
releasing a new album for the summer of 2013, is that your plan?
“Well, I
have been keeping things on the low for a while and not specifying what’s going
on in my future album plans, but I’m guessing the secrets out. So yes, it’s
true, hopefully around June it’ll be on the shelf of music stores”.
Is this giving thumbs up for another
tour then?
“We’ll have
to see. I’m still recovering from the last one! Six countries and about 4 hours
sleep”, she informs us with a giggle.
What were the worst and bests parts
about your last tour ‘Vertigo’?
“Oh wow I
don’t even know, probably the lack of sleep and the fact that I lived of fast
food for the whole tour were the worst bits, but the best bits are obvious
really; the performing, and the rush from all of my supporters just wanting to
be at my gig, also I got to see amazing places along the way! It outweighed the
bad parts by far; I’d do it all again exactly the same”.
That sounds incredible; you’ve got
everyone jealous now! So Beth there have been a few questions sent into us at
Reform and we were wondering if you’d be okay with taking them on?
“Yeah sure,
do your worst”. Going on to confirm it with a laugh.
Right question one: Sophie from Bath
wants to know what’s been your most embarrassing moment while performing?
“Right,
that’s quite straight forward because I have a very distinct one in mind. It
was probably my 5th or 6th gig and I had been drinking
lots of fizzy drinks before the show, so because I am very talented at what I
do I had to stop part way through a song and excuse myself to burp offstage.
Not one of my best moments”.
Question2: Dylan from Cambridge asked what is
your main inspiration for your music?
“I just try
and put the situations that I go through into my music, so sometimes it’s other
peoples or something I merely see, but it’s usually relevant to me. I like to
think that it ties in with what other people feel and go through too, so that
it brings a connection between them and my music. And really that’s another
part of my inspiration, just knowing I can be involved with other peoples life
without even knowing them”.
Question 3: Lauren from Blackpool
wondered who your five favourite artists are at the moment.
“See I like
music from most genres, so it’s always tricky cause I pretty much always have
about ten or more favourite artists on the go at once. So I guess if I had to
narrow it down it would be… Eminem,
because he is brilliant at what he does, I found him pretty iconic, Frank Ocean; what an original voice and
style, just love it. Maybe Led Zeppelin cause
I’ve been having a bit of a revelation with my music to theirs at the moment.
The last two would have to be a bit of Bob
Dylan because he’s just one of my all-time favourites, what a star. And the
last one is quite a new singer, who I have grown attached to, of course Lana Del Rey”.
Okay Beth, so we know about the
present you, but have you always been this musical?
“Actually
yes, I have been pretty much tied to music since I could make sense of it. When
I was quite young my parents were the main influence on what instruments I
played, but by the age of around eleven years old I started to become my own
boss of music, and from then on I have just played and played and played”!

Now this is what has been put in so far, but I may change it around slightly. I have also let it be in the way it is set up on my DPS.
