That impulse to always be busy carried over into my singing. As a kid I was constantly after doing more and more gigs. I didn’t care where they were or who I was singing to - I just wanted to perform, graft and learn. Dad would say, ‘Liam, I’ve got you a gig in this local club, but it’s pretty small and there’s no money in it,’ and I’d be like, ‘I don’t care, Dad, let’s do it. Bring it on.’ We were both like that, to be fair. No gig was too small or too far away. Whatever, whenever, we both knew any shows at this point were all great experience for me. This has served me well in One Direction because it’s meant that when the madness all kicked off I was at least reasonably experienced already. That’s why I used to start all the band songs off back then, because the management knew I’d been on stage many times before. We were so young when One Direction started and I guess it made sense to utilize whatever limited experience we did have.
