Backstage At KICKASS FESTIVAL With MARK GABLE From THE CHOIRBOYS

Backstage At KICKASS FESTIVAL With MARK GABLE From THE CHOIRBOYS

Interview by Kyra-Jade Coombs and Kris Peters
KickAss Festival successfully completed its second year last weekend with a bumper show at Kenilworth Showgrounds that emphatically proved rock music is alive, well and thriving.
Held over two days with local acts appearing alongside established bands such as James Reyne, Kingswood, Dragon and the Choirboys, KickAss Festival did just that and more with thousands of music lovers taking advantage of the camping facilities on offer to spend the weekend in rock paradise.
HEAVY was granted exclusive media access to backstage interviews on the Saturday, and we managed to corner Kingswood, Choirboys and Lecia Louise for some up close and personal time.
Today Kyra-Jade Coombs and Kris Peters catch up with Choirboys vocalist Mark Gable for an entertaining chat not long before the boys hit the stage.
*Please note, this was recorded live so the audio might be a little unclear at times*
