Toni Tambourine sat down with Kevin Saunderson, Paris Grey & Ann Saunderson, to speak about the reason for their hiatus, the creative process and what the next few months hold for the group. This is the interview with Inner City.

Ann has been writing, singing with plenty of other projects, touring and taking care of our babies...
