40 years is a major achievement for a band – congratulations! What do you have planned for the 40th-anniversary shows?

We’re going to put together a really great set of classics, old songs and new. About the only positive thing to come out of lockdown is that it allowed us to get ridiculously prolific and so we’ve got loads of new songs. The pandemic meant we had to curtail our tour but we still had this huge creative energy so we just kept writing and sharing ideas over the internet. Then there was a window in late summer 2020 when got together and worked on the new material in the studio for 10 days and it all came together really well. It’s now just a question of working out which songs we’re going to play live.
