An interview with Josh Bray from the edge of folk and blues sounds.

"KH: What age did you know you wanted to be a musician?

JB: Only very recently. I had been studying to be a criminal lawyer and decided that the student life afforded me the opportunity to play around town, doing bits and pieces here and there. I was even set to travel to America to work in Capital Defense (death row) in the southern states. This was what I had always 'planned' to do and had been volunteering my time in the UK working with charities. I know, however, from the very first gig I played (about 3 years ago) that it would be something I would always want to do, even if only for fun. Then I was lucky enough to be give the opportunity to record and it kind of took off from those first recording. About a year ago we got a record deal and that was the time that I decided to ditch the law and give it a crack!"
