Rudimental: We miss pints in the pub when we're touring

Since their breakthrough with Feel The Love in 2012, Rudimental have been touring the world and “living out of suitcases”. Now the Hackney-based group have said they miss the “simple things” such as pints in the pub and a kickabout on a Sunday.

The group — Leon Rolle, 29, aka DJ Locksmith, keyboardist Kesi Dryden, 30, producer Piers Agget, 28, and guitarist Amir Amor, 31, went straight to No 1 in the UK charts with their first hit, featuring singer John Newman. They have won Mobo and Brit awards and been up for the Mercury prize.

Agget said: “We have toured the world this year and been living out of suitcases. It takes its toll after a while. You become disconnected from reality.

"You never get the chance to wash your own clothes, cook for yourself. Or do simple things. You miss your family. There are all sorts of things people don’t see.”

He added: “I miss playing football on a Sunday morning with mates and venting that frustration on a striker.”

Rolle said: “It is hard, but then so is being a plumber and working in Tesco. We love every minute of it. I miss the simple things too.

“The things you take for granted like having a drink in the pub with mates. But you know, it’s worth it.”

Dryden said: “Generally we can walk around on the street. People couldn’t pick us out.”

Rudimental were performing at a event celebrating their autumn/winter 2016 fashion line with Bench.

Amor said: “Fashion and music go hand in hand. Bench seemed to have a range of stuff that worked with us and us as individuals.”
