Interview
Mr. Big: Ok lets start, who are you and what group are you with?
No. 5: Well im No 5 (number 5) and I'm in Magnetic Fields
Mr. Big: When did your group start?
No. 5: 18 Feb 1989
Mr. Big: Where did you get the name Magnetic Fields?
No. 5: Well, I was on the phone one day talking to Blaster and I asked him for a good name to call our new group, and he just said Magnetic Fields. Apparently it was playing on his tape deck at the time.
Mr. Big: Did you think you would become so popular?
No. 5: No, but then how many groups do.
Mr. Big: Where do you rate your group in the UK?
No. 5: Does Miss World vote for herself? It's not for us to say, it's what the other groups think of us that counts.
Mr. Big: Whats your fave demo on the AMIGA?
No. 5: Well, I couldnt say what all the members of MF like, but I still like Red Sector's vector balls, for a while anyway.
Mr. Big: What about fave music then?
No. 5: On the Amiga there are so many good tunes. I couldnt narrow it down to one.
Mr. Big: Ok, what about favourite food?
No. 5: The groups fave food when we get together is pizza.
Mr. Big: Fave drink?
No. 5: Well when i'm not driving it's big Southern Comforts, the rest of the group vary from pop to whisky.
Mr. Big: Ermm, what about your fave film?
No. 5: Mine has to be Short Circuit, that's where my name originates. The rest of the group is probably "Debbie does Dallas again".
Mr. Big: Would you like to comment on your select copy party?
No. 5: Ok, other than the one we had last year (which was just for group members) you could say this was our first one. I would like to thank everyone who attended.
Mr. Big: Will you have another party?
No. 5: From the response from this one "yes". We will probably join up with another group or two and get a bigger place next time.
Mr. Big: Have you got anything planned for this year?
No. 5: Yes, watch out for some cool demos intros etc, we will carry on supplying our contacts as fast as we can, and of course we will have our yearly outing in april as usual. The Magnetic Fields raid on Alton Towers.
