James Bay sits down with JOE for coffee and questions

Thanks. I didn't imagine it would do this well, you can't simply plan something like that. But I worked really hard and certainly hoped it would move a bit and people would get into it. I'm pretty over the moon at how well it's done seven months its release."

Guitars. Always guitars. I've found some pretty delicious ones in the past few months. But in reality, extravagance or not what I really need is a car. That's my next move. Describe what happened on one of your best days in the last few months? Rolling Stone (and guitar HERO) Ronnie Wood joined me onstage at one of my Brixton Academy shows recently. That's up there with one of the best by far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O4zauM7NZA For the first time in three years of touring I recently had to cancel a thirty minute set at the Camden Roundhouse. Hated that experience, I was completely gutted. Chris Martin. Feist. Sam Smith. I'm still new to all this, I don't really know how many high profile names are even asking to come to my shows... Thunderbitch. It's the new solo project from Brittany Howard (lead singer of Alabama Shakes). And Jack Garratt. His album is on the way but everything he has released leading up to it is incredible. He's very new and recently joined me on stage at Brixton Academy to play some burning guitar. Chilli con carne. A student classic. James Baldwin (author.) Bill Withers and Aretha Franklin. The same advice I've always stuck by; 'don't be a dick.' The boogie man! Finish the sentence: Right now, I am... getting ready to go onstage for a sold out show...GIG! GIG! GIG!
