Introducing Soft Toy Heroes
Soft Toy Heroes.....?
Blame it on Lisa I'anson on Radio One. A couple of years ago she described the two little pigs who escaped and ran to freedom as Soft Toy Heroes...
What's been your most memorable gig?
The Aqua Music Festival on Torquay seafront - summer of 2001 - the heavens opened and the gig was cancelled but we still got paid... so we all went for a curry!
Which three words best describe your music?
At the races!
A spacehopper is a strange thing to sing about?
Dan was once arrested for speeding on his "bouncing best mate" just west of Ideford Dip.....

Rupert - Any Beatles record, favourite would be Sargent Pepper - and Blur, Park Life.
Jason - Happy Mondays, Radiohead.

Best - it's close to Torquay where we live, and good to get back to from local gigs.
Worst - a bugger to get home from Torquay United away games!
OK you win - I give up - let's just listen to the track....
