Clown would have been equally appropriate :) Like you say, as i'm used to a studio environment, that must make a difference. I tend to forget that Claire has an international reputation. She lives near me & until very recently lived, literally, around the corner from me. She's very nice & a real supporter of local music & she's actually putting on her own gig in aid of the pier in December. I'll be there selling the CDs.
Did you say the politician has "more clout" or is "more of a clown"? Comes out the same, in the end, I suppose...
I agree that in-person is better for interviews. But, like you, it's because I'm comfortable with the equipment. I suppose some people are a little freaked out when they first see microphones and cameras and mixers and things and would prefer the phone, but I want to see the other guy's eyes.
Looking forward to the international link going up to buy the CD - I still can't believe you got Claire Hammill!
