Let’s say, hypothetically speaking that a certain Culcher will sometime in the near future be able to snare a sneaky, guerrilla interview with a well known, popular and successful Irish group, what would he ask them?
Now, this hypothetical situation is a little weird as the Culcher in question knows sweet feck all about the band, other than the chorus to whatever songs they have in regular radio play rotation. He (or she) figured that writing for a pop culture web site that others would be more familiar with said group, and might want to know more about them.
What questions would you ask them?
This hypothetical Culcher doesn’t want to have a list of Smash Hits type questions for the group, should the interview come to pass. He (or she) would also of course publish the entire interview, and credit the questions to those who had asked them.
Help out a fellow Culcher, because even though he didn’t want to turn down the chance to interview them, he knows feck all about The Blizzards.
Your spelling of “hypothetical” makes me want to cry.
So do the Blizzards.
This has been an upsetting post on many levels.
Why bother with a spell checker when readers are prepared to do it for you?
Sorry Tom, that’s what happens when you publish straight from drafts.
Ask them how they are, new album, what they’re up to and all that jazz.
The kind of interviews I like are where the interviewer doesn’t assume everyone (the readers) will know what they’re talking about and be able to let the interviewee answer the questions. Really helping people find out about who you’re talking to…
See this for an idea…
Ah I should have known you’d get there before me…….
No no, not my point, that was a quick chat about a particular event - you have the chance to do a bigger one. I’m just saying use that as source material for your questions
I know that’s not what you were getting at!
I could always go Ali G or Mrs Merton on them.
You need to ask them if they’ve ever gotten the cold shoulder. Or if they’re mote popular during the winter months. Something puntastic!
That could work, I’ll ask them to play the Mr Plow song.
Ask em who they are for me.
Ask the lead singer if he is aware that most women (at least that I know) totally would.
