you. It's great to have you back. I mean, you're
00:01:41.390 --> 00:01:42.849
getting a real regular, but that's a sign of
00:01:42.849 --> 00:01:46.310
how busy you are because we've chatted autumn
00:01:46.310 --> 00:01:48.269
full last year for the first time. We've had
00:01:48.269 --> 00:01:52.189
you back since and again now. And well, just
00:01:52.189 --> 00:01:54.349
busy. It's not just releasing singles. It's all
00:01:54.349 --> 00:01:58.030
these tours as well. And massive tour, of course,
00:01:58.189 --> 00:02:04.469
supporting and opening for Boys Life. Yeah, we
00:02:04.469 --> 00:02:06.549
had the Boys Life tour. We just got done with
00:02:06.549 --> 00:02:08.389
that. And then we're getting ready to head out
00:02:08.389 --> 00:02:11.710
on a rock tour with Lansdowne. I saw that. And
00:02:11.710 --> 00:02:13.930
there's a lot of dates there in Europe. I see
00:02:13.930 --> 00:02:18.430
you going to Germany and various places. I'll
00:02:18.430 --> 00:02:21.349
get you to take up on that one. So what countries
00:02:21.349 --> 00:02:23.550
are you visiting in Europe? There's a few, isn't
00:02:23.550 --> 00:02:27.990
it? Yeah, we've got quite a few dates in Germany.
00:02:28.629 --> 00:02:31.349
Then I think we hit Austria, Czech Republic,
00:02:31.389 --> 00:02:35.030
France. We have a date in each one of those countries
00:02:35.030 --> 00:02:37.650
and we come back to the UK and then we finish
00:02:37.650 --> 00:02:42.090
in the Netherlands. Cool. And in the UK, I see
00:02:42.090 --> 00:02:49.099
you've got Wolverhampton, we've got London. Manchester
00:02:49.099 --> 00:02:52.840
and then we got Glasgow I think up in Scotland.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.060
Sure so almost during the whole country again
00:02:57.060 --> 00:03:00.740
because well have you now had a chance to see
00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:02.800
much of the UK or you're just too busy traveling
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.199
to really take note of where you are and what
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:06.840
you're doing you just know you're there but have
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.960
you had a chance to see any of it? I have witnessed
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:14.210
a lot of hedgerows Uh, it's been plenty of Pedro
00:03:14.210 --> 00:03:18.509
watching in my, uh, recent, uh, months here.
00:03:18.849 --> 00:03:21.490
Uh, you know, we, we were over in November for
00:03:21.490 --> 00:03:24.629
about two and a half, three weeks. Um, got my
00:03:24.629 --> 00:03:27.969
first dose of the UK in November. And then we
00:03:27.969 --> 00:03:30.949
went out with boys live for a good, a good long
00:03:30.949 --> 00:03:34.430
bit, um, six weeks. And then we did 24 shows
00:03:34.430 --> 00:03:38.069
there and that was all over the place. Uh, And
00:03:38.069 --> 00:03:40.669
I will say during that trip, I probably settled
00:03:40.669 --> 00:03:46.789
in to, you know, finding areas that, or not just
00:03:46.789 --> 00:03:49.750
areas, but like, you know, food and things that
00:03:49.750 --> 00:03:52.349
I started to really enjoy. That's getting me
00:03:52.349 --> 00:03:56.409
excited to go back again. I still couldn't always
00:03:56.409 --> 00:03:58.870
tell you where I was at within the country because,
00:03:59.189 --> 00:04:01.469
you know, every day it was a new location. But
00:04:01.469 --> 00:04:04.469
I know we've been coast to coast from east to
00:04:04.469 --> 00:04:07.770
west and north to south so yeah of course you've
00:04:07.770 --> 00:04:09.770
been over you've done ireland as well haven't
00:04:09.770 --> 00:04:11.789
you i think you've done north and republic i
00:04:11.789 --> 00:04:13.469
think you've done that over the period i think
00:04:13.469 --> 00:04:14.909
i think you've been to both now i think you've
00:04:14.909 --> 00:04:17.649
done dublin yeah we we actually did not no that's
00:04:17.649 --> 00:04:19.870
one of my regrets is we didn't get to do the
00:04:19.870 --> 00:04:22.509
uh the ireland show they there was a big gap
00:04:22.509 --> 00:04:25.209
uh they did they finished with two shows in ireland
00:04:25.209 --> 00:04:27.889
um And I had to miss those because we had to
00:04:27.889 --> 00:04:30.350
come back here to the states and get ready for
00:04:30.350 --> 00:04:33.290
this next tour. Maybe you say now. Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:33.569 --> 00:04:36.089
Had I stayed on, I would have had all of about
00:04:36.089 --> 00:04:39.670
two to three days to get my rock band together
00:04:39.670 --> 00:04:42.910
to get out on the road. And that would have probably
00:04:42.910 --> 00:04:46.569
been a little bit much to tackle. So I had to
00:04:46.569 --> 00:04:49.790
regret regrettably skip Ireland. But I yeah,
00:04:49.930 --> 00:04:52.290
I got that in my sights and I can't wait to go.
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.000
get it on you know hopefully this year at some
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.839
point yeah i had no doubt it would be on your
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.079
bucket list so yeah good let's let's say you
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.899
do both you can do the north you can do uh you
00:05:01.899 --> 00:05:04.060
know i mean dublin is an amazing city anyway
00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:07.699
you just love it it's just but but belfast yeah
00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:09.259
quite lively it's that and of course then you've
00:05:09.259 --> 00:05:11.220
been to the capital of the north as well so both
00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:13.220
is important at least at least do them too you
00:05:13.220 --> 00:05:16.319
know So yeah, I've got the actual dates here
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:21.959
as far as the UK is concerned So we got you the
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.160
underworld in London on the 27th of April got
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.019
you in Wolverhampton on the 28th of April Glasgow
00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:32.439
29th of April Manchester on the 1st of May that's
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.360
your dates over here But we're not just talking
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.759
about you opening up a game for someone. We also
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:44.529
got New music to talk about a single In actual
00:05:44.529 --> 00:05:47.089
fact, we're going to talk the same single, but
00:05:47.089 --> 00:05:49.870
two different versions today. So we've got Boots
00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:53.949
on Broadway. Both versions sound absolutely amazing.
00:05:55.009 --> 00:05:57.350
I'm not sure what version to put into our hit
00:05:57.350 --> 00:05:58.990
and miss show because they both sound really
00:05:58.990 --> 00:06:09.769
good. So, I've got to ask the question really.
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.139
Does he know you are basically rock country.
00:06:12.139 --> 00:06:16.500
So let's let's ask you which version came first
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:19.680
Country version the country version came first.
00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:24.379
Okay, and you know, I we sat down and we're writing
00:06:24.379 --> 00:06:27.939
this song and it actually It actually stemmed
00:06:27.939 --> 00:06:31.240
from my one of my Finnish buddies That was in
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.240
Nashville with me that actually toured with me
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:37.160
back in November. Uh, he had a, he had a start
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:40.120
on a, on this song and we sat down and wrote
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.620
it. And of course he's a, he's a rock guy converted
00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:46.720
to country as well. Um, and then our producer
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:52.860
is also a big Southern rock artist and a player
00:06:52.860 --> 00:06:56.269
and producer. So It started down the country
00:06:56.269 --> 00:06:58.449
route because it was about downtown Nashville
00:06:58.449 --> 00:07:02.050
on Broadway But then you know the realization
00:07:02.050 --> 00:07:04.209
came that there's a whole lot of rock music getting
00:07:04.209 --> 00:07:06.550
played on Broadway if you've been there in Nashville
00:07:06.550 --> 00:07:09.329
and I just felt like I needed to step up and
00:07:09.329 --> 00:07:12.050
and Knowing that I was going out on this rock
00:07:12.050 --> 00:07:14.470
tour. It just made sense like hey Let's take
00:07:14.470 --> 00:07:17.269
another stab at this thing and see what happens
00:07:17.269 --> 00:07:19.370
when we beef up the guitars a little bit and
00:07:19.370 --> 00:07:23.350
add a little more you know of the drums and And
00:07:23.350 --> 00:07:26.389
it just, you know, it really, I think it worked
00:07:26.389 --> 00:07:32.329
well in both settings. Of course, I think I'm
00:07:32.329 --> 00:07:35.470
partial to the rock version myself, but I'll
00:07:35.470 --> 00:07:37.870
let you all decide which one you like more. Well,
00:07:37.930 --> 00:07:39.670
they're going to hear both versions, so there
00:07:39.670 --> 00:07:42.829
you go. On this show, that was the idea. So,
00:07:43.430 --> 00:07:46.810
yeah. But of course, the country version sounds
00:07:46.810 --> 00:07:52.060
good, but the rock version does rock. There's
00:07:52.060 --> 00:07:54.680
going to be no dust on those smart speakers by
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:56.160
the time we finish with that version, I'll tell
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.819
you. No. If there is, you're doing it wrong,
00:08:00.019 --> 00:08:01.920
right? Yeah, absolutely. Good way of looking
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.680
at it. How have the audiences been taking to
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.899
you? I think you initially had a pleasant surprise
00:08:08.899 --> 00:08:12.519
because obviously the boy's life audience is
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.600
the boy's life audience, of course, you know.
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.149
Right. to you but but then they go you come on
00:08:17.149 --> 00:08:19.649
and do your stuff and uh well they just party
00:08:19.649 --> 00:08:21.470
didn't they initially when we first talked so
00:08:21.470 --> 00:08:24.529
i assume that carried on and they love you i
00:08:24.529 --> 00:08:28.649
guess it it did i i know we caught a lot of people
00:08:28.649 --> 00:08:30.750
off guard you know because we we let off the
00:08:30.750 --> 00:08:34.250
show we were the early opener and uh i just came
00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:36.549
right out from the start and said look i know
00:08:36.549 --> 00:08:38.870
you're all here to see boys live but we're gonna
00:08:38.870 --> 00:08:41.110
get the party started with some country rock
00:08:41.110 --> 00:08:45.549
and uh And you hear a couple jeers and a couple
00:08:45.549 --> 00:08:49.009
woo -hoo's out there. But then as the songs went
00:08:49.009 --> 00:08:50.990
on, yeah, it was like we were just converting
00:08:50.990 --> 00:08:54.409
them song by song. And yeah, by the end of that
00:08:54.409 --> 00:08:59.230
20, 25 minute set, we usually had a pretty good
00:08:59.230 --> 00:09:00.990
group of fans coming out of each one of those
00:09:00.990 --> 00:09:04.029
shows. And you know what's funny, Nick, is...
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.179
A lot of these folks would come up to me and
00:09:08.179 --> 00:09:10.100
some of the ladies would come up after the shows,
00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:14.059
grabbing photos and autographs and whatnot. And
00:09:14.059 --> 00:09:17.919
they would whisper, I really like country music.
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.960
And I would just kind of smile and I'd say. Why
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:28.360
are we whispering? You know, it's taboo. And
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.299
I'm like, it's okay. Like, you can like Boys
00:09:31.299 --> 00:09:35.700
Life and country music. It's okay. Well, of course,
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.919
there's people that would go to a rock concert
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.779
and they'd whisper that they like Boys Life.
00:09:43.700 --> 00:09:48.299
Yeah. I mean, well, so we've had some fans that
00:09:48.299 --> 00:09:51.710
we've met over the Boys Life tour. And they're
00:09:51.710 --> 00:09:55.929
like, we're going to come see you in London or
00:09:55.929 --> 00:09:58.789
Manchester or wherever. And I was like, well,
00:09:59.350 --> 00:10:01.350
I hope you're coming ready to rock and roll because
00:10:01.350 --> 00:10:03.049
it's going to be quite different than what we
00:10:03.049 --> 00:10:07.009
just did with Boys Life. Because I mean, at one,
00:10:07.190 --> 00:10:09.649
it's their smaller, their smaller rock clubs,
00:10:09.909 --> 00:10:13.830
you know, or smaller clubs that, you know. And
00:10:13.830 --> 00:10:15.730
then, of course, the bands that we're playing
00:10:15.730 --> 00:10:19.070
with, like. Whereas Boys Life, we were, you know,
00:10:19.090 --> 00:10:22.090
we were the. probably the heaviest, if you will.
00:10:22.509 --> 00:10:24.490
Now we're going to be like the most laid back
00:10:24.490 --> 00:10:28.009
and docile because, you know, the opening, we're
00:10:28.009 --> 00:10:31.330
actually direct support. So the opener, you know,
00:10:31.470 --> 00:10:36.129
Prospect Hill, they, you know, they're significantly
00:10:36.129 --> 00:10:39.789
heavier than I am in the hard rock, you know,
00:10:39.929 --> 00:10:42.750
borderline metal, whatever you want to call it.
00:10:42.809 --> 00:10:44.750
And then then we're going to come out and do
00:10:44.750 --> 00:10:49.950
my rock rockified Country rock or rock country
00:10:49.950 --> 00:10:53.309
And then of course lands down is a pretty solid
00:10:53.309 --> 00:10:58.610
right down the lane hard rock type group So,
00:10:59.389 --> 00:11:01.789
you know, I was just warning I was warning people
00:11:01.789 --> 00:11:04.169
that they would be messaging me like oh we're
00:11:04.169 --> 00:11:05.809
gonna come see at this date or that date and
00:11:05.809 --> 00:11:08.429
I'm like just Just beware what you're getting
00:11:08.429 --> 00:11:10.690
into I'd love to see you and I want you to come
00:11:10.690 --> 00:11:13.149
out and have a Have a good time and we need to
00:11:13.149 --> 00:11:15.350
tow the line for all the Joe Hermas fans that
00:11:15.350 --> 00:11:19.570
are you know coming out in the UK now and I just
00:11:19.570 --> 00:11:21.789
fair warning though. You better get ready to
00:11:21.789 --> 00:11:30.769
rock it out with us It takes two to tangle and
00:11:30.769 --> 00:11:36.460
two to present a radio show So here's Nick and
00:11:36.460 --> 00:11:44.279
Sue, your musical duo. This is Nick and Sue with
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.639
Chatterbox, giving you all you need to know about
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.019
musical entertainment. Chatterbox, Chatterbox,
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.620
Chatterbox, Chatterbox, Chatterbox. Brilliant.
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.360
I mean, what do you say? I mean, you spent a
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.879
lot of time over here in the UK in recent times.
00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:05.340
I mean... Is it fair to say you spent more time
00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:07.980
here in the last sort of six, seven, eight months
00:12:07.980 --> 00:12:11.240
than you have back in the USA or was it? Oh,
00:12:11.299 --> 00:12:17.679
by far. Well, since. Yeah, I haven't even really
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.820
thought of that. I think I've spent a total of
00:12:19.820 --> 00:12:24.159
of. Yeah, I have. Yep. You're right. As I'm adding
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.139
it up in my head, I had spent more time in the
00:12:26.139 --> 00:12:28.659
UK in the last six months than I had in the US
00:12:28.659 --> 00:12:32.919
by probably almost two to one. Sure. And would
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.139
you say, because it's been sort of that comprehensive,
00:12:36.259 --> 00:12:40.620
we'll say, as to how, you know, how many concerts
00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:43.179
you've played here now, I mean, would you say,
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:47.000
is it fair to say now that maybe the British
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:48.799
audience is perhaps bigger than the American
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.700
one? Because you've been there, you know, done
00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:53.960
a lot in a short period of time here. Yeah, I
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.120
would say that I'm seeing a lot more activity.
00:12:56.740 --> 00:12:59.159
I kind of had a weird journey here in the US.
00:12:59.379 --> 00:13:05.490
I started out in late 2019, and I kind of gained
00:13:05.490 --> 00:13:08.370
a bunch of fans right out of the gate. Then 2020
00:13:08.370 --> 00:13:14.350
hit. I kind of downshifted into more the writing
00:13:14.350 --> 00:13:18.750
and producing work for a few years instead of
00:13:18.750 --> 00:13:21.250
trying to get right back out on the road. I hadn't
00:13:21.250 --> 00:13:23.470
even been out on the road. I just basically played
00:13:23.470 --> 00:13:27.850
around my hometown. So then we had a bunch of
00:13:27.850 --> 00:13:31.289
fans come out right out. Right then and then
00:13:31.289 --> 00:13:35.230
it was kind of been Kind of a smolder since then
00:13:35.230 --> 00:13:38.269
until I got To the UK because I think I just
00:13:38.269 --> 00:13:40.750
think you had so many people in my area in my
00:13:40.750 --> 00:13:44.169
region trying to do the same thing and that the
00:13:44.169 --> 00:13:46.389
opportunity came to come over to the UK and it
00:13:46.389 --> 00:13:48.549
was just like a whole breath of fresh air and
00:13:48.549 --> 00:13:53.690
new fans and You know not that there's no competition
00:13:53.690 --> 00:13:58.950
because there's plenty of it but I feel like
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.440
the boys life thing while I was nervous about
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.700
it was pretty nice because you could kind of
00:14:05.700 --> 00:14:07.559
stand on your own two feet, you know, and people
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.940
could see you for what you were instead of like
00:14:09.940 --> 00:14:12.039
just sticking me on a country show and be like,
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.159
Oh, well that guy's too rock. You know, he's
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.720
not, he's not country Western and, or, uh, you
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.960
know, we're being with other country rock guys.
00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:21.620
Cause there's a lot of these, a lot of these
00:14:21.620 --> 00:14:23.700
younger guys I'm seeing. I just played with,
00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:28.159
um, Couple last week here in hometown. I mean,
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.580
it's like I'm looking at a at a You know ten
00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:33.879
-year younger version of myself. I mean black
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.779
hat black shirt, you know He's he's got song
00:14:37.779 --> 00:14:40.799
song names that are like very similar to mine
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:42.919
and you know, it's just it's just funny that
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:46.019
I'm like, all right. Well at least you know,
00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:48.899
I know I'm doing Doing something right if I feel
00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:51.679
like guys are starting to you know, follow the
00:14:51.929 --> 00:14:54.269
the trend that i've been i've been doing but
00:14:54.269 --> 00:14:56.309
at the same time you know i hadn't made enough
00:14:56.309 --> 00:14:58.750
noise to really own the trend so i'm like well
00:14:58.750 --> 00:15:01.529
hopefully i'll be the first i'll be in early
00:15:01.529 --> 00:15:03.889
enough in the uk that there will be no mistake
00:15:03.889 --> 00:15:07.309
that uh joe hermit owns the rock country world
00:15:07.309 --> 00:15:10.649
sure sure and of course uh you're probably well
00:15:10.649 --> 00:15:12.490
away you've probably done your homework but it's
00:15:12.490 --> 00:15:15.750
uh not rare for an american artist to be bigger
00:15:15.750 --> 00:15:18.190
in the uk than in the usa it's nothing new at
00:15:18.190 --> 00:15:22.269
all uh nothing new at all uh go to the scale
00:15:22.269 --> 00:15:24.529
of susie quattro is a regular on this show uh
00:15:24.529 --> 00:15:27.389
she landed in 1973 and never went back and she
00:15:27.389 --> 00:15:30.169
is such a superstar here still she's on par with
00:15:30.169 --> 00:15:33.730
what Cher is in america you know uh dean friedman
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:36.500
big star here but a couple of minor hits over
00:15:36.500 --> 00:15:38.639
there in the 70s you know but that's just two
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.919
examples but we have it at all levels from those
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.179
levels going right down and it's nothing new
00:15:43.179 --> 00:15:45.779
for a British audience to love an American artist
00:15:45.779 --> 00:15:49.159
more than the Americans do and you're bringing
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:52.480
that that slightly different sound the Joe Hermes
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.759
sound over which is of course Joe Hermes sound
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.639
to us it's not anyone else's sound so as you
00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:00.879
say you got in early so that could only help
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.090
it could only work so yeah Yeah, I'm excited.
00:16:04.309 --> 00:16:05.669
I mean, I don't know where it's going to go,
00:16:05.669 --> 00:16:08.090
but I know the feedback's been great. And I mean,
00:16:08.210 --> 00:16:10.950
obviously, speaking with all the media that we've
00:16:10.950 --> 00:16:14.529
been speaking with, that I've been introduced
00:16:14.529 --> 00:16:21.250
to, yeah, I have no complaints. I see a bright
00:16:21.250 --> 00:16:24.889
future. Yeah. Well, no one says anymore, I'm
00:16:24.889 --> 00:16:27.289
not introducing Joe Hermes as a new artist to
00:16:27.289 --> 00:16:31.379
us anymore. Nobody says who's he anymore. In
00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:33.580
fact, the odd person even asks for Joe Hermes'
00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:35.600
record now. They all know who you are, so that's
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.460
a good start, a very good start in just six months,
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.820
really. Yeah, and Nick, I'll be honest, it's
00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:49.240
such a weird mind flip when I know how long I've
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.159
been grinding it out over here in the States,
00:16:52.940 --> 00:16:58.200
you know, five years of just what feels like
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.879
you're just like Yeah, just fighting tooth and
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:05.099
nail to get some air. And then, you know, but
00:17:05.099 --> 00:17:07.500
then you come to the UK and it's like you're
00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:11.940
brand new again. And, you know, it's it's it's
00:17:11.940 --> 00:17:16.380
nice. Makes you makes me feel like I'm just starting
00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:18.960
starting from square one again, even though I
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.819
know I'm not. But it's just interesting. I've
00:17:22.819 --> 00:17:26.220
never experienced anything like it. And. but
00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:28.380
i'm not tired and i'm not looking to shut it
00:17:28.380 --> 00:17:31.000
down anytime soon absolutely not of course you
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:32.980
make it here you have a few few hits over here
00:17:32.980 --> 00:17:35.599
then of course it will happen it's be so funny
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:38.380
if you did all over america they start discovering
00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:40.579
you because you're big in the uk and they think
00:17:40.579 --> 00:17:42.819
it's something you you could just say to no i've
00:17:42.819 --> 00:17:46.690
been here all the time i start yeah Yeah, it
00:17:46.690 --> 00:17:49.029
took some more intelligent folks to find me,
00:17:49.470 --> 00:17:53.029
right? Very good, I like that. That's kept the
00:17:53.029 --> 00:17:55.589
people listening to 230 radio stations very happy.
00:17:55.750 --> 00:17:59.049
Good work, very well done. Well, you know, there's
00:17:59.049 --> 00:18:02.190
always that quiet competition and it never hurts
00:18:02.190 --> 00:18:05.250
to, you know, feed the machine a little bit.
00:18:05.349 --> 00:18:09.490
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Well, I have
00:18:09.490 --> 00:18:11.009
noted because you mentioned, you know, on your
00:18:11.009 --> 00:18:12.789
bucket list, you've got Ireland's hopefully,
00:18:13.029 --> 00:18:15.609
hopefully you can visit Dublin and the North
00:18:15.609 --> 00:18:17.869
and come back to see us again later this year.
00:18:17.890 --> 00:18:20.950
Sounds like you're going to anyway. So that'd
00:18:20.950 --> 00:18:23.910
be our next. That'd be our next chat. So, yeah,
00:18:23.910 --> 00:18:26.750
we're not going to stop. I'm not going to stop,
00:18:26.869 --> 00:18:28.829
Nick, until I have every single one of those
00:18:28.829 --> 00:18:32.170
rock and country fans having me on their playlist.
00:18:32.329 --> 00:18:35.480
So. The sooner you guys do it, the sooner I'm
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.200
going to get out of your hair. That's all I'm
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:38.099
talking about. No, then you're going to have
00:18:38.099 --> 00:18:39.759
to come back and do the greatest hits album,
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:40.720
then you're going to have to come back again
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:42.380
when you do the anthologies. There's no going
00:18:42.380 --> 00:18:46.900
nowhere, right? Well, I'll do the best I can.
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:50.079
I promise you that. It's great to have a catch
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.859
-up every few months. Yeah, great. Have a good
00:18:52.859 --> 00:18:55.220
