AUDIO SCRIPT:

Interviewer: I’m talking to Nick Parker, the singer with the band called Krispy. Nick, your sister, Mel, plays guitar in the band too, doesn’t she?

Nick: Yeah. Mel’s a year younger than me. We’ve been playing and singing together since we were ... eight, nine. Dad is a guitarist and took us to hear the great bands playing live. Mei and I put on shows at school, which was a lot of fun. Mum thought we were good, but she didn’t want us to get too serious about our music because of the hard lives professional musicians have.

Interviewer: When did you start writing music?

Nick: I’ve been writing since I was ten. And later Mel started working with me. We didn’t have the same influences – I liked rock music and she loved world music, especially bands from Africa. But we found good ways of mixing the styles.

Interviewer: Your band, Krispy, has two guys and two girls in it. How was it formed?

Nick: Mel and I were playing in a concert at our college and there were two students from music school in the audience. They came to see us after the show and asked if we’d like to form a band with them. We weren’t sure at first because we were much younger than them. But we agreed to try it out, and it was brilliant.

Interviewer: You’ve been together a few years now and you’re one of the top bands. What’s that like?

Nick: Hard work. We travel to concerts all round the world and are never in one place for more than a few nights. The others are like an older brother and sister to me and Mel, which is good. They help us relax on our days off, and make sure we eat well. They’re strict about practising, too.

Interviewer: Have you had any disappointments?

Nick: Everything we’ve recorded has done well. Three singles have gone to number one, and our first album has sold over a million copies. Our second album was due out this winter, but I’ve been ill recently so we’ve started recording late, which is a pity. But for the rest, everything’s fine.
