McFly record new album made on Welsh island
IMAGINE an island where the only residents are the four lovely boys from McFly.
Imagine no more. The boys have taken over a tiny Welsh island to record their new album.
They are using a studio that becomes detached from the mainland during high tides.
“It’s great,” says 24-year-old Dougie Poynter. “There’s no way out when the tide’s in. We don’t get distracted. Then as soon as the tide goes out we can go to the shops.”
Rock ’n’ roll, boys.
