Bombarded with the type of questions only excellent research can inform, the band's Rhian Teasdale revealed she used to dress as a squawk bird at her seasonal job at Robin Hill.
The band reminisced about a “lovely” pub in Ventnor, called The Rose, which hosted what they recalled was their third gig.
The Isle of Wight Scooter Rally was mentioned during the interview and drummer Henry Holmes described the Island as a “haze of two stroke and broken down mopeds.”
