For those at the 2009 Freshers Welcome, the freshers were treated to a performance by Sandi Thom.
For those who don't know Sandi Thom recorded the song 'I Wish I was a Punk Rocker With Flowers in my Hair' which reached number 1 in 2006. She followed this up with 'What If I'm Right' and 'Lonely Girl'. To date she has released 2 albums and is currently working on a 3rd.
I really enjoyed her set and she has come a long way as a musician since those early days. However, she has remained loyal to her fans and continues to use online tools, like in her early career, to maintain contact with them.
As for the interview, it goes to show you never know what can happen at the last minute! Originally, I had just requested for a picture with her (see below), but before I knew it I had only an hour to put together a decent set of questions for her! Cue quick research on her main website, Wiki, twitter, and any other thing I could access on my iPhone!
When it came down to it though she was awesome to interview. Very chilled, very laid back, and very patient! To date I have interviewed a host of musicians, Jim Gellatly, and others involved in the music industry. This was my first number 1 artist, and she definitely made it easier for me by being herself. So thank you Sandi Thom for the interview and I hope all you viewers enjoyed it!
