Astles

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Sitting in the back of my dads Ford, on the way to school or to visit family. Listening to Billy Joel, The Beatles and the Beach Boy's Greatest hits. Painting pictures in my heading using the wonderful soundtrack. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Frank Ocean, Blonde The Beach Boys, Pet Sounds The Beatles, The Beatles (The White Album) All so important to me at different points in my life. The perfection of Pet Sounds, The sprawling beauty of Blonde, and the incredible kooky songwriting on the White Album Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “2 and a Bit (Song for a Brother)” 2 and abit is a song about growing up with a little brother. How your relationship can shift and change, and how one day they become a man who you are proud to call your brother and best mate. This song will always be special to me. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Playing my song for Sir Paul McCartney, Playing the Philharmonic Hall in my home town Liverpool, writing a song with my Granddad at the age of 84. Touring the UK, France and Germany. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? To plan everywhere and anywhere people will have us. To play Glastonbury, that would be incredible.
