What we´re doing is writing as much as we can; then we´re going to go into the studios in about

(After the group´s appearance at Quantways Ballroom.)
The reaction was marvellous. We keep worrying that people will think we´re some kind of
teenybopper group, but they stop dancing and listen and seem to appreciate us as a good
rock band.
We got the screams again tonight, though, and I´d be a liar if I said we didn´t like to hear them.
Who wouldn´t at this stage of a career? But they´re in proportion, and we´re happy that
people mostly seem to be interested in what we´re doing. We´re a lot more relaxed than
we were a few years ago, before the record started to happen. The last year had been
an edgy one for us, with debts to pay and a lot of worries and doubts whether we´d ever
be able to make it.
Making this hit has helped us get ourselves level again, but we´re not going to fall into the trap
of thinking we´re the greatest. We don´t want to get so free and easy we end up a one-hit
wonder. I think we owe it to ourselves and the public to think seriously about the future
of Badfinger. Certainly we´re determined to try make our next single one of our own compositions.
Writing songs is the group´s biggest satisfaction.
a month and see what comes up best.
Getting time to do everything ; that´s the problem. Doing as many one-nighters as possible is
neccessary at the moment, because we got to pay off a lot of the debts - for equipment
and things like that. You know, the funniest thing about getting to no. 3 in the charts - we´re
not feeling any different. I´m not being flash, it´s just that we´ve hoped and wanted to make
it for so long, and now that we have, the only reaction is to feel content and relaxed. I´d
imagined us raving around all over the place. I´m not sure if we want to reach no. 1 either.
If we stayed at no. 3 or no. 2 it just might be the kick we need to make us do better the next time.
