What's been the highlight of your week so far?
The week started on a high note. We ended our European tour in London on Monday and that was a pretty sweet gig.
Where will you and what will you be doing this time tomorrow?
On my couch in Stavanger, Norway, watching cartoons with my son.
What's your current favourite song or album?
Lost In The World, from the latest Kanye West album, featuring Bon Iver.
How many shots of tequila do you think you've had in your life?
7-ish...Tequila was my first drinking experience and I have never been able to drink it since, I'm afraid.
Compare your last show with your first ever gig.
My first gig ever was at a home for people with Downs Syndrome in my hometown and allthough a lot of people at the XOYO in London (my last gig) were pretty drunk, I don't think they were at the point of developing an additional chromosome. So - pretty different.
What do you think is your worst song?
B A Part.
Describe your life so far in 5 words.
So far so bloody good.
Thomas's album, Songs, is out on 4th July on Decca.
Check out this live version of From Grace.
