ABoF’s Five Pointless Questions with… The Cadbury Sisters
When I was little, my Mum and Dad used to give me a Finger of Fudge when I was a good boy. And now I'm fat. I bought one the other day after I realised I hadn't eaten one in years. To my horror, it was flatter than I remembered it, as if the bar had been left in a pocket for a few hours - like a chubby Chomp. It still tasted the same though.
Is any of this relevant? Not particularly, but it does give me a nice segue into this weeks Five Pointless Questions with The Cadbury Sisters (whose lawyers keep telling me they're not the right people to complain to about the new 'Finger Of Fudge' shape).
1. Using a the fairy tale format, tell us how you all met.
Once upon a time, three sisters who had grown up together side by side, had to leave their home in the Shire to be educated in far away lands called ‘Leeds’ and ‘Plymouth.’ Magical were these lands, as they helped to grow the seeds of a long forgotten passion in the young sisters.
One night, the girls had been drinking a magical potion called vodka, and they decided to get up and sing in front of people they had never met before, and they fell in love with it. From there on in, the three sisters began to sing and play wherever they went, and people started to clap and cheer them on their way. They couldn’t stop because they realized it was their destiny, and to this day, those three sisters still sing all three together, in harmonies that only sisters can sing. You can find them in the mystical kingdoms of Facebook and Youtube.
2. Who or what was the defining moment in your life that made you decide to be a musician?
There wasn’t really one defining moment to be honest. We have always loved singing together, and it just took a bit of courage to actually get ourselves up in front of people and do what we love doing! I guess the first time we sung our own songs in public could be quite a ‘defining’ moment, when we were mostly playing covers. Everyone in the venue stopped and listened, it was pretty special.
3. If you could pick a superpower what would it be and why?
Jess: To be able to cook any dish anywhere in the whole world, and it turn out delicious and authentic every time, because there is so much amazing food in the world that I probably never get to try.
Lucy: To breathe underwater. I was always called ‘The Little Mermaid’ as a kid, I even applied to work as a ‘mermaid’ at an aquarium.
Mary: To always know the right thing to say. Is that a super power? I’m not sure, but I’d just love to be able to make anybody feel better, no matter what they were going through.
4. In ten years time where do you want to be?
We want to be singing still definitely, with a good catalogue of releases behind us. We always say that if we had to go into another business together it would be a café! I reckon that we would run an awesome café. Maybe we could do both - song with your sandwich? Cake with a chorus?
5. If you could only play a stranger one of your songs to make a first impression, which track would you choose?
You Choose.
