Draft of Text

For my text in the double page spread, i am going to do an interview with the band. I will ask questions about things such as their music, fashion, personal life, concerts, new release and gigs they have already done as this is what my audience wanted to hear about most in my results for my survey. I will ask the band between 13-15 questions so that the audience will be pleased without getting too bored.
