I've Always Felt Myself As Being A

I Have A Weakness For Watches. I Have To Stop Myself Buying More.

I Come From A Coal-mining, Working-class Background. My Father Was A Coal Miner.

I've Always Felt Myself As Being A Serious Singer.

When I Started Off In Wales, I Sang And Accompanied Myself With Guitar In The '50s. And Then I Got A Band Together, Which Is A Rhythm Section, Really. I Used To Do A Lot Of Blues, And Rhythm And Blues, And '50s Rock 'n' Roll And Country, And All Kinds Of Stuff.

I Didn't Like To Be Restricted, Because When You're In A Choir, You Have A Part To Sing And You Sing It. I Always Liked Singing On My Own.
