REBECCA Taylor, stand-up drums, vocals and guitar, and Charles Watson, guitar, vocals and piano, formed Slow Club in Sheffield in 2005.

They have since released their “anti-folk” debut Yeah So in 2009 and sophomore album Paradise in 2011, and last year they crafted the immaculate pop of Complete Surrender, an album with echoes of Tamla Motown, Stax Records, Frankie Valli and David Bowie.

Now, as they take to the road with Pocklington Arts Centre in their sights tomorrow night, CHARLES HUTCHINSON pops the questions to Rebecca.

CHARLES HUTCHINSON: How much of an influence is Sheffield on your music, Rebecca? Is it the Detroit City/Tamla Motown of Yorkshire?

RACHEL TAYLOR: Sheffield is just a great place to make music; it’s easy, cheap and full of amazing people to work with. That doesn’t exactly inspire the music but the city provides its ease of development.

CH: What did Sheffield producer Colin Elliot bring to your music on last year’s album Complete Surrender?

RT: He is such a classy guy and an amazingly talented arranger. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life.”

CH: What is that makes boy-girl duos such a winning combination in pop?

RT: Not sure – not sure about the winning bit?! Also I prefer ‘man-woman’ duo.”

CH: Moving on, what are your plans for 2015? Touring? Recording? Festivals? New releases?

RT: All the above but we might not get them all going in this year. We’re hoping to carry on playing shows and writing when we feel ready.

CH: Does playing on Friday the 13th hold any fears for you?

RT: Just the normal amount of fears of ‘do I look skinny?’; ‘hope I don’t wee myself on stage’; ‘remember the words and don’t swear too much’.”

• Slow Club play Pocklington Arts Centre tomorrow at 8pm, supported by Happyness.
