Dizzee Rascal says he plans to do more gigs with a live band after performing with an orchestra as part of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Electric Proms. The rapper was helped out on stage by a choir, horns and a string section at the Roundhouse in Camden, north London. He covered Nirvana track Smells Like Teen Spirit and says he'd think about doing something similar again.

You looked totally relaxed during your performance. Did you have any nerves at all before going on stage?
The people in the crowd didn't stop jumping. What was the song that you thought, 'They're in the palm of my hand?'
It's the first time you've performed with a live band. Given the crowd's reaction, is there any chance of you doing something similar again?
One of the biggest surprises for the crowd was the cover track, Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. Do you think you get new audiences from doing things like that?
Like you said, you're mid tour. You've also got a tour with Lily Allen coming up next year. Have you been practising and coming up with ideas for that yet?
Are you going on a long holiday at some time? What do you do to relax?
In November you're doing Children In Need. Is charity work important for you?
