I am easily disappointed and used to, and still do leave unwrapping presents until the last possible moment as I prefer the anticipation and the way a present looks all wrapped up. My dad was a curate when we were kids and there was very little to go round, and if there was anything extra at all he gave it to the eve<\/span><span class=\"s3\">n<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> less well-off. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">We<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> got things like the cheap version of the Sound of Music soundtrack that did not have Julie Andrews singing and I spotted it straight away. Nasty chocolate eggs from Woolworths &#8211;<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">no idea what they put in them to taste so <\/span><span class=\"s3\">bad. As a creative child I really noticed that I was somehow being <\/span><span class=\"s3\">hard<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> done by.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">What are your three favourite tracks from it?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">Yikes! That changes <\/span><span class=\"s3\">every <\/span><span class=\"s3\">day,<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> and<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> I am so fond of them all. Probably \u2018I Remember\u2019, \u2018Not Yet\u2019 and \u2018Shiny Boots\u2019<\/span><span class=\"s3\">. Andy loves the last track \u2018Everything\u2019s Better with Love\u2019 which we wrote and recorded on <\/span><span class=\"s3\">a warm<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> Sunday <\/span><span class=\"s3\">morning \u00a0&#8211;<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> I left the bird song track. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">What was the easiest and most challenging part of the recording process for it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">Easiest was <\/span><span class=\"s3\">writing the tracks, most challenging was finishing them!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">It\u2019s your fifth album, is there anything that you have learned since recording the first?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">To be more open and relaxed and take more time. This is the first one we didn\u2019t go into a studio and as much as <\/span><span class=\"s3\">we\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s3\">love being in a studio<\/span><span class=\"s3\">,<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">we really<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> enjoyed recording all of this at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">You undertook production duties on this what were your favourite moments?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">I love producing! I love that moment when you suddenly have a brainwave that <\/span><span class=\"s3\">seems to come <\/span><span class=\"s3\">from no-where. When we did <\/span><span class=\"s3\">our second 3 Bucket Jones album,<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> I suddenly had a yearning to hear a brass band in a track<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> that <\/span><span class=\"s3\">you played on one of your podcasts called \u2018Amazing Grace\u2019. Andy sourced members of a wonderful world Champion Brass Band<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> the Tredegar Town Band and we went to listen to them rehearse. Wow! I come from a coal mining family. I had a Great-Uncle who arranged for a pit band so it may be in my blood.<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> I arranged and conducted for 8 members and the first side of that album featured them on every track. On\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s3\">the latest album \u201cCatch<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> my Breath<\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u201d<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> I wanted <\/span><span class=\"s3\">my community<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">choir to sing on the chorus of a song<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> called <\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u201c<\/span><span class=\"s3\">Not Yet<\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u201d<\/span><span class=\"s3\">. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">32 of them sung the chorus into their phones, some at work under their <\/span><span class=\"s3\">desks. Sometimes producing is very subtle and you can\u2019t really put your finger on why you made a particular choice. You <\/span><span class=\"s3\">must<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> go<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> with your <\/span><span class=\"s3\">feeling <\/span><span class=\"s3\">and then wait. I feel like I usually know if something works or does <\/span><span class=\"s3\">not. No<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> idea why!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You released the album via SWND, how did that come about?<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">I met Mike Kennedy at a Welsh PRS event and we hit it off. He is a real Welsh mover and a shaker. A Director, Producer &amp; Presenter of Welsh Connections Music and TV in Swansea &#8211; A brand new internet radio TV channel providing a platform for Wales&#8217; musicians, artists, poets, actors, writers and documentary makers of the next generation ! Andy lives in Wales and I spend a lot of time there so it felt perfect when Mike offered to release our new album on the independent Welsh label SWND ( SWN is Welsh for noise &#8211; so a little play on words there). SWND also produce a quarterly music arts and culture magazine available independent music and bookshops in Wales and online <a href=\"https:\/\/swndrecords.com\">SWND Records<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">You are a <\/span><span class=\"s2\">duo,<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> how did it all begin for you?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">We used to be 3. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">We first met at Monnow Valley Studios near Monmouth, South Wales in August 2013. \u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s3\">We were<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> on a 5-day songwriting retreat hosted by BASCA (British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors) Strangely none of us really wanted to go, so it felt like the cosmos was trying <\/span><span class=\"s3\">hard<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> to put us together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">Writers were put into groups of 3 per day and sure enough we 3 Buckets ended up together on day 3 and wrote what was to become track 1 \u201cGoodbye <\/span><span class=\"s3\">to <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Forever\u201d on our first album. It was Garry Hughes<\/span><span class=\"s3\">,<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> who left after album 2 for other incredible projects, who suggested we should become a band and do some recording together, felt a bit like getting married on your first date, but we were all so excited -we did it. We seemed to have so much in <\/span><span class=\"s3\">common yet<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> had a lot of different musical influences which just seemed to <\/span><span class=\"s3\">mesh<\/span><span class=\"s3\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">What were your influences starting out?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">We have been around a bit and have very differing influences. We have got all sorts of influences. We have been in a few bands in our time panning styles as varied as Prog Rock, Reggae, Rock, Indie Art Pop, Jazz Acapella<\/span><span class=\"s3\">, 60\u2019s <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Folk,<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> 80\u2019s synth pop<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> and on it goes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">What were your early writing sessions like?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">When we first got together, we wrote a lot in the same room<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> or in the <\/span><span class=\"s3\">studio but<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> the longer we work <\/span><span class=\"s3\">together, \u00a0curiously<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> the more time we spend working separately and shooting ideas to each other online and via email. We listen together in <\/span><span class=\"s3\">the same<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">room as<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> pieces <\/span><span class=\"s3\">progress<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> and the<\/span><span class=\"s3\">n<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> go away and try other stuff<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> separately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">You performed a gorgeous song \u201cAll <\/span><span class=\"s2\">At<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> Sea\u201d with a choir, how did that come together?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">So glad you like it! <\/span><span class=\"s3\">I was running a choir at the same time as the first album came out and arranged the song for 4-part harmony for the choir<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> trying to find a way of bridging my choirs and my song writing<\/span><span class=\"s3\">. A wonderous moment came together when Ali <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Orbaum<\/span><span class=\"s3\">, a<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> great musician<\/span><span class=\"s3\">, <\/span><span class=\"s3\">singer and\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s3\">choir leader from Bristol<\/span><span class=\"s3\">, who joined 3 Bucket Jones for a period and did some live gigs and recording with us<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> had heard the <\/span><span class=\"s3\">song and<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> asked us if we would let her use it for a charity event called Sing <\/span><span class=\"s3\">For<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> Water West in 2016. 1000 community singers learned it and sung it <\/span><span class=\"s3\">together, outdoors <\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u2018<\/span><span class=\"s3\">en<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> mass<\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u2019<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> for the event raising funds. We invited any of those singers to come to St Georges in Bristol to a gig we had organised<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> to sing with us. So there had been no practise. They all joined us on the stage. In retrospect I wish we had had more mics on them as it was one of those incredible moment<\/span><span class=\"s3\">s of the year<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> when the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">COVID has impacted the creative industry in a big way, what kept you motivated?<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">As a musician bobbing under the horizon my whole life and as I had <\/span><span class=\"s3\">I <\/span><span class=\"s3\">lost <\/span><span class=\"s3\">my<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> mum<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> and my <\/span><span class=\"s3\">choirs which were my <\/span><span class=\"s3\">main source of income <\/span><span class=\"s3\">&#8211; <\/span><span class=\"s3\">I was in deep grief<\/span><span class=\"s3\">,<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> so not going anywhere was a bit of a blessing<\/span><span class=\"s3\">. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">W<\/span><span class=\"s3\">e just <\/span><span class=\"s3\">adapted.<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">We <\/span><span class=\"s3\">wrote and recorded and did a lot of incredible collaborations with <\/span><span class=\"s3\">musician all<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> over the world <\/span><span class=\"s3\">on-line. With a wonderful <\/span><span class=\"s3\">bunch of creative<\/span><span class=\"s3\">s<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobkarper.com\/\"><span class=\"s4\">Bob <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Karper<\/span><\/a> <span class=\"s3\">(choir<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> member and film maker) <\/span><span class=\"s3\">We created 9 online choir <\/span><span class=\"s3\">videos which<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> were a <\/span><span class=\"s3\">riot!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">I joined <\/span><span class=\"s3\">an Online<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">Australian Song <\/span><span class=\"s3\">W<\/span><span class=\"s3\">riting club called <\/span><span class=\"s3\">I<\/span><span class=\"s3\">hear<\/span><span class=\"s3\">t<\/span><span class=\"s3\">songwriting<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> club and wrote and <\/span><span class=\"s3\">recorded a<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> song a week <\/span><span class=\"s3\">(I<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">am on week 85<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> Andy on week 24)<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">and we<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> both <\/span><span class=\"s3\">did loads of course<\/span><span class=\"s3\">s<\/span><span class=\"s3\">. When the going gets tough <\/span><span class=\"s3\">we both <\/span><span class=\"s3\">go on a <\/span><span class=\"s3\">course<\/span><span class=\"s3\">! <\/span><span class=\"s3\">I did lots of <\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u2018<\/span><span class=\"s3\">how to get your music into tv and film<\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u2019<\/span><span class=\"s3\">, which meant getting my filing and songs in semblance of order (I am the worst filer ever, if I had a <\/span><span class=\"s3\">superpower,<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> it would be filing)<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> and Andy did loads of song<\/span><span class=\"s3\">writing-<\/span><span class=\"s3\">circles and we both <\/span><span class=\"s3\">wrote and recorded a lot.<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> It kept us mildly sane. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">I met <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kirstymcgee.com\/\"><span class=\"s4\">Kirsty McGee<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s3\"> on a <\/span><span class=\"s3\">facebook<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">forum, \u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s3\">a<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> very prolific and talented songwriter <\/span><span class=\"s3\">from Manchester <\/span><span class=\"s3\">and <\/span><span class=\"s3\">gently cajoled her into trying some co-writing \u00a0online and we nearly have an album! This music I also mixed and produced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">Andy composed a soundtrack for a micro (<\/span><span class=\"s3\">t<\/span><span class=\"s3\">hat means no) budget feature film written and directed by Brett Gregory called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt11684438\/\"><span class=\"s4\">\u2018Nobody Loves You and <\/span><span class=\"s4\">You Don\u2019t Deserve to Exist\u2019<\/span><\/a> <span class=\"s3\">which I had the pleas<\/span><span class=\"s3\">ure <\/span><span class=\"s3\">of co-writing a track<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> and I ran an online choir for some of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">The last couple of years have been a time to reflect what did you learn about yourselves?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">I like my introvert more than I ever knew. I have not had much time to spend with her as I was always leading music either fronting bands, choirs or music workshops.<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">Andy learned about being vulnerable as he had a nasty health scare during the lockdown. Andy has always been good at working on his own with a deadline I <\/span><span class=\"s3\">learned \u00a0a<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> lot from watching \u00a0and mirroring his discipline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">Did you pick up any new skills?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">I did so much recording on Logic.<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> Producing for other people has been great as I always knew how to do it but never allowed myself to know I could. It has been brought to my attention that for some reason the 2% of women <\/span><span class=\"s3\">producers in<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> music <\/span><span class=\"s3\">in the world are probably <\/span><span class=\"s3\">often <\/span><span class=\"s3\">much more qualified &#8211; I know I have often had to work twice as hard to be recognised to be equal to men<\/span><span class=\"s3\">,<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">often <\/span><span class=\"s3\">with half the skills. There are of course lots of amazing men who don\u2019t behave like that and treat me as an equal<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> (like <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Andy) <\/span><span class=\"s3\">but<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">still <\/span><span class=\"s3\">you would be amazed at how it is <\/span><span class=\"s3\">so <\/span><span class=\"s3\">often assumed\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s3\">I am just the singer and Andy does everything else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"s2\">What are you listening to <\/span><span class=\"s2\">at the moment<\/span><span class=\"s2\">?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s3\">The sound of the central heating and the cars racing down the <\/span><span class=\"s3\">street,<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> the clock that belonged to my <\/span><span class=\"s3\">grandma<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> that I just got back from my dear<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> old <\/span><span class=\"s3\">musician friend<\/span> <span class=\"s3\">I recorded masses of material in past decades <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Mickey<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> &#8211;<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> who died.
