EXAMPLE<br />
<strong>Bounce</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>’s Rachel Ducker speaks to Elliot Gleave, Example,<br />
about his career, marriage and fatherhood...<br />
After five albums including the platinumselling<br />
Number One Playing in the Shadows,<br />
two Number One singles, seven Top 10s hits<br />
which earned Example a Brit Nomination for<br />
Best British Single, countless festival headline<br />
slots consistently pulling in huge crowds and<br />
sell out arena tours it is safe to say Example<br />
has got song writing down to a fine art.<br />
As you might expect, after a decade on the<br />
job Elliot Gleave has a decent handle on what<br />
his back catalogue stands for. But he also<br />
finds it incredibly easy to describe the body<br />
of work he’s got lined up for <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
In 2014 Elliot had taken what he assumed<br />
would be a short break from music, ostensibly<br />
to focus on fatherhood.<br />
of songs I want to still be performing ten<br />
years from now.”<br />
Rachel Ducker caught up with Elliot to find<br />
out more about what this year has in store.<br />
R: Hi Elliot...<br />
Hey Rachel how are you darlin’?<br />
R: I am very well thanks!<br />
Well fire away with your questions!<br />
R: How did you first get onto music scene?<br />
In general?<br />
R: Like, right back to the start?<br />
He is now back with<br />
new songs that feel<br />
like a celebration of all<br />
the things that made<br />
Example a household<br />
name and bolsters all<br />
that with a new outlook<br />
on life, a revitalised<br />
approach to songwriting and some the<br />
hottest collaborations of his career.<br />
<strong>2018</strong> is set to be a remarkable year for<br />
Example and his new single, The Answer,<br />
kicks it off with an energy fuelled bang. The<br />
body of work Example is set to release is<br />
undoubtedly his best collection to date, best<br />
described by Example himself as “A collection<br />
Wow, ok, these are the sort of<br />
questions I was answering around<br />
album one!<br />
R: Well, I think it’s really nice to<br />
give people an insight as to where<br />
it all started.<br />
Yeah, yeah ok, let me think. It<br />
wasn’t really like I got into the scene as such,<br />
as I was just releasing music as a hobby, so I<br />
am talking around 2005 time.<br />
I didn’t really know anything about the music<br />
industry; this is ‘pre’ Myspace. I was releasing<br />
on vinyl – remember those! I would probably<br />
drop off 20 in Birmingham, 20 in Manchester,<br />
