Q: So how does that work? Do you sit at the keyboard one day and think, it's time, I'm going to work on Lucy Wan today?
Sometimes I have no feeling. It's almost like something in the back of my mind tells me I'm a bit peckish today, I feel like writing a tune today.

Q: At what point did you realize that was something that you could do and you could do really well?
I didn't set out to make a kind of electronic folk sound. I just set about arranging stuff because I was interested in old tunes and old songs.
