Between 1985 and 2002 the Scottish band Del Amitri released 6 studio albums, five of which charted in the UK. Their biggest single 'Roll to Me' reached the Billboard top 10 in 1995. After 2002, when the band split, the lead singer and main songwriter, Justin Currie went on to release 4 solo albums. Not long ago the band reformed, with both Currie and Iain Harvie, and released their 7th studio album, Fatal Mistakes. And since then they've embarked on a US and European tour. 

I caught up with the charismatic singer, Justin, and talked to him about childhood, the early days of Del Amitri, a formative trip to the States, the split of the band, their reunion, and what being Scottish means to him.
