Much already said but I'm very pleased to read this at the end - He’s unsure what the future holds. There may be more records and more tours, though they may take time out in 2018 to reassess and consider where they’re going. If they do tour again, the Black Country and Birmingham will be high on their list of places to visit.
“I’ve said this before but my best friends in showbusiness are people like Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne, Robert Plant and a truck driver whose name I’m not going to tell you – and they’re all from your neck of the woods. Everybody I know from the area is fabulous, genuine. There’s also a couple of rasta guys who do the NEC. I see them occasionally, any of those people I meet, it’s like it was only yesterday that we saw each other. I might not see them for years, but I consider them friends. I feel comfortable around your lot.”

Say what you want about Francis (and plenty do) but his interviews are generally interesting.
To me anyway

Yep, he inevitably has to repeat himself when he gets asked the same questions again and again , but always an interesting read and the first time I've seen it mentioned that Ritchie's reception was rather frosty at first, that he considered him an intruder. Understandably so, but Francis is always open-minded enough to accept changes, to change his mind and to admit it. Not many are able to do that ..
