AS LIVE Unit: Band research for VT

I've been given the task of producing the VT "On tour with The Soundcasters". I was unable to meet them at their gig on march 23rd but they were performing at The Old House At Home on sunday 1st April for someones birthday party and I was able to go along with Jane Lowe to be introduced to the band and to work out which shots to use, which questions to ask and most importantly which song to record for cutaways of the interview. Lauren Woodfall and Lauren Howard were there to introduce me and to decide which song they wanted them to perform on Unsigned Live.
Tom, Matt, Scott and Simon were a delight to meet and their performance was brilliant, energetic from start to finish. I can't wait to record the VT.
I gave them a list of questions we would be asking them for the VT and I am waiting for their answers so that Johanna can write a script for the VT and also it gives them an idea of what to say for the interview so that they wouldn't seem like a rabbit caught in headlights.

Where did the name come from?
How long have you been together?
How did you meet?
Does one person write the songs or is it a group collaboration?
Where is your favourite venue to perform?
Do you play the same sets each time or do you like to mix it up?
Do you have any cover versions you like to perform?
Have you played in Pizza Express before?
Is it challenging being an unsigned band?
What is planned for the future of The Soundcasters?
Do you have any advice for new bands?
And last but probably the most important...
Which musicians/bands have inspired you over the years?
