When asked about the details and timeline of the follow-up Album to the Graham Bonnet Band's The Book "I finished my part on the new album everything is finished vocally. Now when I go back, we go in the mixing stage but at the moment Beth-Ami Heavenstone is putting down the bass parts. We got the bass to put down a little bit of keyboards. It sounds pretty good I am very pleased. If anybody liked the previous album the Book , they are going to like this too, it has got the same kind of material, same kind of sound and it's got a little of that Alcatrazz, MSG, Rainbow sound. It will be released in a few of months I think, it will be out this year." When asked about the Graham Bonnet Band playing the complete Alcatrazz 'No Parole from Rock and Roll Album' in it's entirety for the 35 year anniversary on their upcoming US tour "It will be all the material that I made up 35 years ago, we will play all the Alcatrazz tracks off that album along with the Graham Bonnet Band songs. There is a new audience for Alcatrazz it seems like a younger audience, I wish they had been turned on to it back then when we needed a bit more publicity back then. It's amazing to see kids of 18 years old coming up to me and singing the lyrics." When asked about how he turned down an audition to sing for Black Sabbath in the 1980's " I can't actually remember the actual year it was 1980 something. I had a call from one of the guys from Black Sabbath I can't remember who asked me if i was interested in auditioning cause I just left Rainbow and it was something I wasn't really sure of. I wasn't sure of the music, I wasn't sure if I really fit with my short hair. I wanted to do something different on my own not to be in another band as another singer in a revolving door, so I turned it down."
