We met at university - we both studied music actually and I suppose we hit it off straightaway. Afterwards, I went away travelling for a year or so and we lost touch for a while, but really we've been friends since we were students. We see each other, say, three or four times a week I guess. We're both very outgoing and energetic, which I suppose is why we get on so well in the band …

It was an amazing coincidence really. Not only to meet like that, but to get on so well and have so much in common. We helped each other with our studying as well. And there was no time at all to feel homesick or anything. From the moment we got on the plane we had lots to talk about. And when we finished, we had a brilliant time seeing the place and, well, it was just one big party till it was time to come back home. I wish we could see each other more often these days.

It was in India, just after university. I'd been there for a few months at the time. At first, we didn't get on too well, but we kept bumping into each other, as you do when you're travelling, so we, um, well, we ended up travelling together. We found we had similar interests … you know, we like the same music and like going to gigs, and we had similar outlooks and so on. I suppose we've been friends for about, well, three or four years now.

We've got similar interests, particularly music. We like to see as many bands as we can. We like going out a lot. We, er, don't get to travel as much as we used to, but we're planning to go back to Asia together for a few weeks next year. That's where we met in the first place actually, about four years ago.

We've known each other for a few years now and we still get on well, most of the time anyway! We see each other a lot. Of course we're together twice a week when the band rehearses and we often go to pubs or to friends' houses and just, sort of, hang out and chat really. Yeah, we both love a good party!

We first met in the, er, airport actually. We just bumped into each other at the check-in. It turned out we were both going to the same place to study and we ended up living in rooms on the same corridor in the hall. It was pretty amazing really! We got on from the word go. It just happened naturally, you know, two people away from home and all that. We did almost everything together and then when the course was over we travelled around the country for a month or so, before coming home. Now, I guess we only see each other three or four times a year or so.
