Technology didn’t want to co-operate this morning when I spoke to Tiffany. First Tiff’s phone was completely dead, and after some hurried messaging back and forth, she called me from a landline. Then my phone decided to have problems of its own, and chose to stop recording at several crucial points in the interview. On top of that, the UK is currently being battered by Storm Ali, which wreaked further havoc. So sadly, it wasn’t possible to transcribe everything we spoke about today, but thankfully we managed to salvage a very good interview regardless. Tiffany is a warm and lovely person to speak to and we hope you’re able to get an idea of that from this.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

EP: Thank you so much for speaking to us! How did the show in Bristol go last night?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tiffany: It was really good! I think my band and I are kind of in the flow now, after having performed in Asia and at Epcot, and the new music sounds very solid, and they’re all amazing musicians, so I was in really good hands.<\/p>\n

EP: How was the audience? Were they new fans, old fans…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tiffany: A lot of new fans actually! I couldn’t ask for more really, that’s the point of doing the interviews here on radio, a lot of people genuinely curious, I looked around the room and there were a lot of metal-heads, rockers in the crowd, coming to check it out. The music stands on its own two feet, the new album, I’m really proud of it, it has the cred and depth that I want it to have, I’m a live performer, so I get up there and I think it’s believeable when people see it. I’m all smiles, we just have to keep doing more and more shows, and growing that fanbase. Of course I have that solid fanbase, that I adore. I mean, they’ve been with me for 30 years and they’re just amazing.<\/p>\n

EP: So you get fans who go to as many concerts as they possibly can?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tiffany: I do actually! Especially on this leg, I get a lot who say, “Oh I’m going to go to London” or “I’m going to go here”, it’s been a while since I’ve done a lot of concerts, with me not flying, that’s kind of under my belt, especially now that I’m located in the UK and primarily living here now, I have a place in Nashville Tennessee as well, but ultimately road is my home. But yeah, constant touring is the climate for most artists anyway, radio, records, and publishing etc went in a different direction for most artists. It’s gone back old school. But I was always a live artist, it was very much instilled from my country music upbringing, to my pop music life, I toured for almost four years straight. My old manager worked with a lot of the artists from Motown so there’s those golden rules there, like, get out there and do what you do, and make believers out of people. That’s what we’re doing now and I’m really excited about it!<\/p>\n

EP: You’re really answering all my questions, it’s excellent!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tiffany: Oh sorry haha I was having a little chit chat!<\/p>\n
