Interview : Richard Mortimer
Hello, my name is Richard Mortimer. I am a lot of things to a lot of people.
I am 28 years-old. I was born in England, and my hometown is
Bradford but now I live in London and spend my holidays in Italy.
Someday, I would like to be rich enough to retire, but for now, I
spend my days making other people money!
If I was in a young band in a little town in Ireland, trying to
seduce Gildas to feature us in a Kitsuné Compilation, I would call
my band Scat Party and my first track would be called Brown
Pleasure and to seduce Masaya I would dress only in Escada and Valentino.

The most memorable story I have of them is… when they met my PR!!! I can’t really go into it, but they know what I mean!
