We caught up with both Joey and Louise and asked them a bunch of fun questions! Here’s what they had to say!

Dream collaboration or duet?

Joey: Awwww man, are we talking alive, or not so alive? Either way, this question is difficult! I’m going to cheat and give you two.
Alive: Brandi Carlile
Not so alive: Ray Charles.

Louise:  Dixie Chicks

Favourite Animal?

Joey: Camels. They are SO COOL. I can’t believe the extreme conditions they are able to survive through. 

Louise: Can I have one land and one sea? Red Panda & Dolphin

Favourite Venue?

Joey: The Bedford. The feel of that room is incredible, and I think it’s the perfect size. 

Louise: That I’ve performed at? The Bluebird Cafe. 

Favourite TV show?

Joey: Dr. Who. Hands Down!

Louise: Community. 

Go to takeaway?

Louise: Australia!

If you had to pick between songwriting or performing, what would you choose?

Joey: Songwriting (but this question was really, really difficult). 

Louise: I don’t know if I could… Gun to my head I’d choose performing. 

Favourite artist or band?

Joey: Half Moon Run

Louise: I adore Shania Twain. 

Do you have a party trick and what is it?

Joey: YES. I have two that are completely useless. I can play the Harry Potter theme tune on a single beer bottle and I can whistle any song with my fingers at a piercing level. 

Louise: I used to do the splits and the worm, though I haven’t done them for quite a while. I better brush up on those skills!

Do you have a message to all your fans?

Joey: I have to say THANK YOU. Thank you for listening and for supporting independent, original music. Thank you for making artists like me feel loved and appreciated.

Louise: You are my whole heart, you keep my blood pumping and my dreams alive.
