Welcome to the Dear Lovejoy podcast, sponsored by Cook 100 degree boiling hot water straight from your kitchen tap.

Mind us chilled filtered water and chilled sparkling water too. I've got to say, I absolutely love my cooker tap. For more information,

go to cooker.co.uker. UK. So today's podcast is a bit different. I realized when I interview

people, they always love the questions, ask everyone at the end. You know, regular listeners

will know there's five or six questions. I ask everyone at the end. So I thought for celebrities,

I would extend the amount of questions and turn it into a podcast.

So I did my calculations and I think around 19 questions works out well for the hour.

And I decided if I like their answers, they will get a bonus question.

So nine question, 19 questions and a bonus question. Sort of makes 20 questions.

Anyway, today's guest is one of the great humans in the music industry.

Fran Healy, frontman of Travis.

He's a pleasure to be around and I always enjoy his company.

Travis have been together 25 years now and have recorded nine studio albums.

They now have a new album out called 10 songs. So let's

meet him and ask him the questions. Here's Fran Healy.

Hi, Fran. Thank you so much for doing this. How are you? I'm really well.

I'm very relaxed and I'm, we've just released our record and it's all gone really well.

And so I'm having a two-week quarantine break on the way back to America.

How's the PR been on the promo been going for the album?

Do you enjoy doing that?

Oh, I hate it.

Absolutely every single second of it.
