Drafts of feature article

Here is my draft for my feature article:


Feature Draft

You readers are in for a real treat this week. We have been chatting with Chris Doyle, the lead singer of Conspiracy, and we have decided to share it with you. The band has recently released their first album, ‘Rebellion’, and it has already sold over 50,000 copies in little more than a week. Here is our interview with the rising star.

So what made you want to get into music?
I’ve always been a massive fan of music; I remember listening to bands such as Queen and U2 when I was younger. I learned to play the guitar when I was 10, and from there music was just the direction I was heading. I’ve always thought that life is better when you’re doing something you enjoy.

How did you meet the other members of the band?
The rest of the group was together before I met them, but they were looking for a lead singer. I was playing in a small concert hall in Plymouth one night, and after the performance they approached me and asked me if I wanted to join their band. I hardly hesitated before saying yes.

How has life changed for you since ‘Rebellion’ was released?
It hasn’t changed too much really. I know it’s only our first album, but it’s a bit disappointing that no-one recognises me yet. I did get excited when somebody shouted my name in the street, but it turned out to be one of my Dad’s friends.

Do you ever here your songs anywhere?
I have heard a couple on the radio while I’ve been driving. It’s made me feel good that our music is being played alongside all the great bands out there.

What do you like to do in your spare time?
In my spare time I like to stay at home and relax. I am a big fan of football, and watch every game that’s on while I’m at home. I also play quite a bit of XBOX as well, mostly football games such as FIFA 12 and FIFA Street.

Do you play any sport?
Not seriously, no. I like to have a kick around with some of my mates from time to time, and I also enjoy playing tennis occasionally, but I’m not really very good.

Do you have any plans for your second album yet?
We do have one idea for a song, but apart from that no, not yet. You’ll have to wait a bit longer I’m afraid.

Okay, well thank you for talking to us today, Chris. I hope the rest of your career goes as well as your first album. I’m sure we’ll see you again for another interview sometime.
Thanks, I’m looking forward to it. Bye.


This draft was without any spelling or grammatical errors so I used this first draft for my feature article.
