101 Part Time Jobs with Giles Bidder

Chart battle! The Snuts are in with a sniff of beating Demi Lovato (?!) to the Number 1 Albums Chart spot this Friday with W.L. - their DEBUT. I had a lovely chat with Jack where he tells me about being an "indie band", staying true to yourself and being yourself, vulnerable songwriting, The Beatles, his personal experience of that TRNSMT performance, ragged gigs in their early days, the band being a round the clock job, moving with the times, digging holes, leaving school at 15, pressure he puts on himself, not being able to sit still, anxiety, W.L. 10 Years in the making, being motivated, and lots more.
