Gimme 5: Cole Underwood of Forsaken Duo

5 Things You Should Know About Cole!

Do you remember the first song you ever wrote? How old were you and do you still play it?

I was around 6 years old. I found an old hand organ in my attic and was making music then. I am not sure what it was but I remember I loved making things up and being creative since a young age.

Imagine you are getting a new pet. What will you choose, a dragon or a unicorn?

A Dragon. I always loved crocodiles and big reptiles and dragons have always been my favorite mythical creature plus we are in Wales so its mandatory. I’d give it a cool name like Aargon and feed it whatever dragons eat… goats maybe?

If you could share a stage with someone famous, dead or alive, who would you choose?

I can’t pick one so I will do Dead and Alive just for fun Alive – it would be Lindsey Buckingham, his musicianship and songwriting are magical. He is a genius, he can write something really catchy and melodic yet complex which most musicians would struggle to play.

Dead it has to be Hendrix! He was the most creative guitarist possibly ever to exist, especially in his time period .

If I could watch how he recorded “All Along The Watch Tower” and “Voodoo Child” when listening to the tracks and breaking it down its incredible.

Tell us about a local band or artist we should listen to

There are so many talented and different musicians it’s impossible for me to pick! I would say check out KatieLou open mics or any open mics close to you they are an awesome way to get to listen and meet local musicians.

Where in the world would you most like to visit?

Most likely Cornwall as I have never really been outside the UK all my life (Scared To fly)

If I could choose it would be between a tropical place like Bora Bora or taking a road trip to America and a guitar and playing in the old blues bars. That would be my dream.
