In an online Q&A session full of deadpans and one-liners, White says: "I'd say half the shows I play I'd rather not play. Festivals for example. But I have to make the best of it and try to get inspired. It's hard when the people who organize festivals basically control my life. I have to book shows around their offer that I can't refuse."

He adds: "It's very expensive to tour - people think that's how musicians make their money these days, but it's hard to go on the road no matter what size you are"
