The journalist goes in great depth and the results are insightful.

Here is what Fran had to say when asked about a possible solo album:
It’s definitely something that I’ve thought about, something that I think I’ll probably do. Maybe simply to change something up… because Travis is a band that doesn’t stop. I don’t think we will ever stop making records, so it would be like a vacation. |

Thanks a lot, great interview. :)
Obviously it's interesting what he says about a solo album. I'm just pleased to hear he wants to keep writing music and still feels excited about it. That's the impression i get. And if Holiday is anything to go by, Fran still has great songs in him just waiting to come out! :) |

Thanks for sharing! This is a really good interview.
Funny comparison of socks and songs :D
I never would've thought though that singer/songwriters could feel uncomfortable singing songs written by other people. I mean they (including Fran) do covers all the time, so you'd think they don't mind it. Turns out there is a difference after all. Thanks for the insight into the singer/songwriter's mind :)

I don't think that there will ever be a Fran Healy solo project. Why would I want to when I play in the greatest living rock and roll band of all time :)
What a difference a year makes. But I think it would be cool.
I love hearing people talk about things they are passionate about. What Fran says about songwriting is like listening to my husband talk about painting. It comes from a different place in him. I can try to understand. I love music, I love art, but there is still that little piece of it that I will probably never really "get" in the way that he feels about his art. But that little piece of mystery is what keeps it interesting.

Unfortunately, my memory is sort of Jeckyll and Hyde. Sometimes very good, sometimes very bad. |
