--> 00:03:20.250 before they get to train. And it's like, it's so 76 00:03:20.289 --> 00:03:24.379 ingrained in the society. But it was an amazing thing 77 00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:27.219 to see as well. What I thought was amazing out 78 00:03:27.379 --> 00:03:33.879 in Catheroic was like, when you see what, not just Celtic, 79 00:03:33.900 --> 00:03:36.819 but what football means to people and what it means 80 00:03:36.860 --> 00:03:40.490 to people's lives. Like we went out there like me 81 00:03:40.569 --> 00:03:43.490 going in blind and saying like these people are just 82 00:03:43.650 --> 00:03:44.490 die-hard fans. 83 00:03:45.229 --> 00:03:47.810 The three, four hundred people there, did you expect that 84 00:03:48.050 --> 00:03:49.909 amount of folk, were you surprised by? 85 00:03:50.550 --> 00:03:53.569 We didn't really know what to expect at all, but 86 00:03:53.590 --> 00:03:57.349 I mean everything was just, I couldn't, I can't praise 87 00:03:57.870 --> 00:04:01.270 like Colie and the boys enough, I mean it was 88 00:04:01.330 --> 00:04:04.090 a fantastic festival but in terms of the way we 89 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.939 were kind of looked after and stuff, I loved that 90 00:04:06.979 --> 00:04:08.840 they He put us in with you guys in the 91 00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:09.580 apartment and all that. 92 00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:15.900 Have you been invited back? Like, sure yet? No, not yet, no. 93 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.870 We're hoping that Carl doesn't come in. Or at least 94 00:04:21.889 --> 00:04:25.949 they better put us in another apartment. Separate lifts from 95 00:04:25.970 --> 00:04:27.509 the airport. They're not getting in a car with John 96 00:04:27.529 --> 00:04:28.470 Miller and Peter Grant again. 97 00:04:29.860 --> 00:04:33.660 We've had an invite yet excuse you I'm sure you'll 98 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.220 be there I'm sure you'll be there you're alright you 99 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.220 were saying about the set up of the apartment as 100 00:04:39.259 --> 00:04:42.930 well you know above his I mean Peter Grant doing 101 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.329 our washing he was the father figure. 102 00:04:45.110 --> 00:04:48.189 He was the father figure for everything yeah I mean 103 00:04:48.230 --> 00:04:49.810 he gave you a good toast didn't. 104 00:04:49.629 --> 00:04:52.050 He he did but I think it was funny how 105 00:04:52.550 --> 00:04:54.730 like Danny was slagging me see when we got in 106 00:04:54.769 --> 00:04:57.750 the car and like we said like I I would 107 00:04:57.769 --> 00:05:01.889 have known your name Because you would have been, when 108 00:05:01.930 --> 00:05:04.910 my brother Jamie was alive, you would have been captain 109 00:05:04.970 --> 00:05:07.170 in and around that time. And he was a massive 110 00:05:07.209 --> 00:05:09.810 Celtic fan, a huge Celtic fan. So when I got 111 00:05:09.829 --> 00:05:11.350 in the car, I was lucky enough to be put 112 00:05:11.370 --> 00:05:13.370 up in the front seat. And it was fairness to grantee, 113 00:05:13.410 --> 00:05:14.870 he was like, go on, my son, you get in 114 00:05:14.889 --> 00:05:17.930 the front seat, mate. I was trying to be, you know, 115 00:05:17.949 --> 00:05:19.170 let the old lad in the front, you know what 116 00:05:19.250 --> 00:05:21.829 I mean? And Danny was saying to me, when we 117 00:05:21.850 --> 00:05:23.410 got out of the car, he was like, I've never 118 00:05:23.470 --> 00:05:25.329 seen you as quiet as me. Never, never, man. 119 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:28.670 Never, he's never that quiet. I think you were just 120 00:05:28.699 --> 00:05:29.379 kind of soaking it all in. 121 00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:30.639 I was soaking it all in. I was just looking 122 00:05:30.670 --> 00:05:31.329 in the rear view mirror. 123 00:05:31.350 --> 00:05:32.790 He was trying to figure out what the name was. 124 00:05:32.810 --> 00:05:35.250 What was Jackie? 125 00:05:35.269 --> 00:05:38.850 What was he saying? But it was just trying, like, 126 00:05:38.889 --> 00:05:42.290 Joe Miller, Joe was so funny from the get-go. Like, 127 00:05:42.310 --> 00:05:43.990 when he got in the car dressed in all black 128 00:05:44.610 --> 00:05:47.170 and he had the sunglasses on and he was just, like... 129 00:05:47.790 --> 00:05:49.790 Peter Grant was at the door side, Danny was here 130 00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:52.389 and Joe Miller was the other side and Danny's only 131 00:05:52.410 --> 00:05:54.750 a small guy and Joe's only small as well. But 132 00:05:54.769 --> 00:05:58.110 Joel was sitting like that with his elbows in tightrips. 133 00:05:58.350 --> 00:06:00.290 And he just kept on, there was these little digs 134 00:06:00.310 --> 00:06:02.240 coming in. I was like, every time I open my 135 00:06:02.250 --> 00:06:03.980 mouth here, I'm going to get a dig here. It's 136 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.240 better off just stay quiet, assess the situation. But by 137 00:06:07.259 --> 00:06:09.639 the end of the show, we were all giving it sucks. 138 00:06:09.779 --> 00:06:11.660 It's the way they welcome you in. So how did 139 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.250 you guys then get together then? Way back, so how 140 00:06:14.310 --> 00:06:15.889 long have you been together. 141 00:06:15.610 --> 00:06:16.589 Doing your stuff? 142 00:06:16.910 --> 00:06:18.310 What would it be, maybe about seven years or something? 143 00:06:18.410 --> 00:06:19.430 Seven or eight years, yeah. 144 00:06:19.629 --> 00:06:20.529 Because you're obviously in. 145 00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:23.600 the weeks, so were you in that band at that time? 146 00:06:23.620 --> 00:06:25.879 Before I've been kind of in that band for, I 147 00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:28.379 think we were working it out there it's been about 148 00:06:28.379 --> 00:06:32.199 10 years now or something like that but we kind 149 00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:36.860 of met on a different thing altogether when I first 150 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:38.519 came out of uni, I studied a bit of

music 151 00:06:38.579 --> 00:06:40.620 at uni and I was lucky enough to walk into 152 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.500 a show that was touring the world it was an 153 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.279 Irish dancing show, it was called Irish Celtic and I 154 00:06:46.300 --> 00:06:48.660 did that for kind of 10 years and along the 155 00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:50.279 way you kind of joined. 156 00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:52.300 In That'd be what, five, six years? 157 00:06:52.509 --> 00:06:53.759 Into you doing the jazz. 158 00:06:53.779 --> 00:06:56.019 Five, six or seven years ago. And that's where we 159 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.120 first met. And you were in Ireland at the time. 160 00:06:58.139 --> 00:06:58.980 You were living in Ireland. 161 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.699 Yeah, I was living in Ireland. Like I, when I 162 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.720 left college in Dublin, I was offered a gig out 163 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.589 in Orlando, Florida, out in Disney World, playing music. So 164 00:07:11.149 --> 00:07:13.990 being 19 years of age and moving out to America, 165 00:07:14.050 --> 00:07:17.550 like I lived in Dublin for two years when I 166 00:07:17.569 --> 00:07:20.720 was in college. But then like, There's one thing about 167 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:22.759 living in Dublin, away from Mammy and Daddy, but then 168 00:07:22.779 --> 00:07:25.339 going over to America, 19 years of age. 169 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:26.779 You can't drink then, either. 170 00:07:27.019 --> 00:07:31.079 Well, legally, you know what I mean? There's ways around that. But, 171 00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:35.279 you know, going over there, and that gig was amazing. 172 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.660 How long were you there for that? I lived in 173 00:07:37.699 --> 00:07:40.459 Florida for two years. So I'd done that, and it 174 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.759 was tough work. Like, that gig was six nights a 175 00:07:43.779 --> 00:07:46.379 week for two years in one. And the only time 176 00:07:46.420 --> 00:07:48.899 you got off was if you were going to renew 177 00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:51.810 a visa. they'd normally give you your time off within 178 00:07:51.850 --> 00:07:55.269 that time. They were kind of clever, like, right, we'll 179 00:07:55.290 --> 00:07:56.889 fly you back down to renew your visa, but then 180 00:07:56.910 --> 00:07:58.509 you can take a week off after that, but that's 181 00:07:58.540 --> 00:07:59.889 because you had to wait to get the visa sent 182 00:07:59.939 --> 00:08:03.100 in the post. But done that, like, I have an 183 00:08:03.129 --> 00:08:04.600 awful lot to thank for that gig. Like, I met 184 00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:10.600 my now fiancé doing that gig, and I met, bumped 185 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:15.480 into Damaris Woods and Derek Warfield of Wolftone's fame. They 186 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:19.769 were responsible for booking music in a bar down in Tampa, 187 00:08:20.589 --> 00:08:24.470 in Florida. And we done a gig down there. One night, 188

00:08:24.490 --> 00:08:26.250 even though we weren't supposed to, we went down and 189 00:08:26.269 --> 00:08:30.670 done a gig. And long story short, I moved back 190 00:08:31.389 --> 00:08:33.690 from Florida, having lived in there full time for two years. 191 00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:36.740 And then I got asked to cover a gig with 192 00:08:36.750 --> 00:08:41.480 the Young Wolftones. So when the original Wolftones split in 2001, 193 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.740 Derek Warfield went and set up his own band. So 194 00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:48.840 it was Derek Warfield and the Young Wolftones. he asked 195 00:08:48.860 --> 00:08:50.399 me to cover a gig for the guy that was 196 00:08:50.460 --> 00:08:53.440 originally in the band who I also knew and it 197 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.980 was in Kilbegan at like some festival thing and it 198 00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:59.750 was an audition that I didn't know was an audition 199 00:09:01.190 --> 00:09:04.789 and done the gig and literally straight after Damaris kind 200 00:09:04.809 --> 00:09:06.750 of came up to me and was like look Padder's 201 00:09:06.769 --> 00:09:09.350 leaving the band lucky to join and then I was 202 00:09:09.370 --> 00:09:12.730 with them for another two years I think and that 203 00:09:12.750 --> 00:09:17.200 was toured America non-stop like I've seen so much of 204 00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:22.690 the states and But then that brought me that experience. Like, 205 00:09:24.250 --> 00:09:27.429 it's a funny one, like, that experience was amazing and 206 00:09:27.590 --> 00:09:30.570 it did lead me into working with Irish Celtic and 207 00:09:30.590 --> 00:09:34.419 meeting Danny because when I was working in, before I 208 00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.919 joined the Young Wolftones, when I was working in Disney, 209 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.159 I got to know obviously a lot of Irish dancers. 210 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:42.980 There was a lot of Irish dancers that they have 211 00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:44.740 Irish dance shows on the hour, every hour. It's a 212 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:50.029 massive building. And But a lot of those dancers were 213 00:09:50.070 --> 00:09:52.980 touring Irish Celtic and they were the ones that said 214 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.700 to me, they were like, there's, who's now one of 215 00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.139 our best mates, Anton, who's the musical director, there's his 216 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.009 email address, send him an email. I sent Anton an 217 00:10:01.070 --> 00:10:05.070 email when I was leaving Disney and in fairness to 218 00:10:05.110 --> 00:10:06.149 him he got back to me straight away he said 219 00:10:06.169 --> 00:10:07.700 I don't have an opening right now but I'll keep 220 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.740 you in mind and then a year later I was 221 00:10:10.750 --> 00:10:12.000 with the Young Wolf Tones about a year and a 222 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.700 half and I sent him another email and he was 223 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.299 like I might have something coming up and then sure 224 00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:20.149 enough he was like send me your passport And then 225 00:10:20.409 --> 00:10:23.220 that's where we met then. So I knew Danny before 226 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:27.659 I ever moved to Glasgow. But it's been a whirlwind 227 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:29.059 ever since. 228 00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:31.679 How did you end up with the Kitties gig then? 229 00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:34.419 Were you doing different pubs in Glasgow? 230 00:10:34.700 --> 00:10:36.820 Well, I've always lived there, so I've been kind of 231 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.620 gigging in the pubs and that since I was 18 232 00:10:39.620 --> 00:10:40.039 years old. 233 00:10:40.649 --> 00:10:42.129 So we've done all the rounds earlier. 234 00:10:42.649 --> 00:10:44.149 In the older pubs, I don't know if you remember 235 00:10:44.250 --> 00:10:46.570 Foucher and that back in the day and St Vincent 236 00:10:46.590 --> 00:10:48.490 Street or that and all that. We used to gig 237 00:10:48.509 --> 00:10:52.269 in there and then up in Malones, then Connellys, Topeth, 238 00:10:52.350 --> 00:10:54.669 all those places. So I kind of knew the lay 239 00:10:54.690 --> 00:10:57.529 of the land and then when we kind of moved over, 240 00:10:57.549 --> 00:11:00.070 we just kind of got a wee duo thing going together. 241 00:11:00.690 --> 00:11:03.590 We kind of picked up pretty quick. So I moved 242 00:11:03.669 --> 00:11:06.070 over here at a very, very funny time. I moved 243 00:11:06.129 --> 00:11:10.990 over here during COVID. So I think I always remember, 244 00:11:11.289 --> 00:11:14.669 we talk about it quite a bit. Me and my 245 00:11:14.710 --> 00:11:19.019 dad came over in his Jeep. with all my belongings, 246 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:21.899 everything I owned, packed up everything and we drove over 247 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.100 because COVID at the time came in and I was, 248 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:27.179 we had been on tour, we got sent back from, 249 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:28.639 remember we were supposed to be on tour for like 250 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.919 12 weeks and we woke up that morning in Paris 251 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.419 and we were like, everyone's going home. So there's no 252 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:34.919 point in paying rent in the apartment in Bursa. I 253 00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:38.230 moved back in with my folks and in the meantime 254 00:11:38.259 --> 00:11:40.929 of that, I met my missus and then she was like, 255 00:11:41.169 --> 00:11:44.029 want to buy a house and that happened. I was like, right. 256 00:11:44.110 --> 00:11:47.559 So I, agreed to buy a house in Cumbernauld over FaceTime. 257 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.679 You know all about Cumbernauld. I said it to him 258 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:54.000 when I was like, oh, we're buying a house. Where 259 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:55.330 are you buying a Cumbernauld? He said, wouldn't you stop 260 00:11:55.370 -->

00:11:59.029 at the lights in Cumbernauld, mate? But I done that 261 00:11:59.090 --> 00:12:00.610 and it was great. But I remember we moved all 262 00:12:00.629 --> 00:12:03.389 the stuff over in one day and I had to 263 00:12:03.429 --> 00:12:04.769 go back to Ireland and the last thing I had 264 00:12:04.789 --> 00:12:06.809 to do was sell my car. I said, when I 265 00:12:06.830 --> 00:12:09.049 get the car sold, I'll get on the motorbike then 266 00:12:09.129 --> 00:12:11.169 and that's the last thing I had to bring over 267 00:12:11.210 --> 00:12:14.049 was my motorbike. All I'd left in Burr was five 268 00:12:14.070 --> 00:12:16.500 pairs of jocks two pairs of jeans and a couple 269 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.080 of t-shirts. That's all I had. And the motorbike. Sold 270 00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:23.259 the car and moved over. And then, obviously, COVID times, 271 00:12:23.299 --> 00:12:27.779 the pubs weren't... I was at the boat, right? And 272 00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:31.039 it was the day they announced the second lockdown. So 273 00:12:31.100 --> 00:12:34.679 I was at the boat in Belfast. I was like, 274 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:36.230 I'm going to get a pint now. I'm going to 275 00:12:36.250 --> 00:12:38.250 get into Glasgow. I was texting him, can't wait. Next thing, 276 00:12:38.850 --> 00:12:42.289 BBC News, everything's shutting at six o'clock. And I was like, 277 00:12:42.450 --> 00:12:43.990 I'm getting to Karen Ryan at five past five. I'm 278 00:12:44.009 --> 00:12:45.600 not going to get a pint at all. So I 279 00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:48.100 got up on the bike. But then got up and 280 00:12:48.539 --> 00:12:51.899 I think it was, that lockdown wasn't as long. That 281 00:12:51.950 --> 00:12:53.629 was a kind of Christmassy time. And then we came 282 00:12:53.649 --> 00:12:56.830 into the January, February, pubs started opening up. Did you 283 00:12:56.850 --> 00:12:58.970 just do anything in that lockdown time? Like on Zoom 284 00:12:58.990 --> 00:13:00.809 or anything like that? Did you just do? I didn't. 285 00:13:01.610 --> 00:13:04.000 I done a good few Facebook Lives and I have 286 00:13:04.019 --> 00:13:06.740 to say they were a tonic. They were brilliant. 287 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.500 So quite an awkward thing though, eh? 288 00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:11.960 Like to sit in front of like just, camera on 289 00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:15.840 your own there's no feedback there's no audience reaction or 290 00:13:15.899 --> 00:13:18.039 anything like that it's an odd thing you get it. 291 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.200 To an extent like you have to bear in mind 292 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:21.500 people had nothing. 293 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.519 Folk were trying to create their own entertainment but. 294 00:13:24.059 --> 00:13:27.240 They had nothing like people were going out running 5k' s 295 00:13:27.019 --> 00:13:29.500 and breaking world land speed records do you know what 296 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.730 I mean but it was like

on your own though 297 00:13:31.179 --> 00:13:33.629 aye aye skipping it and all that but it was 298 00:13:33.649 --> 00:13:37.389 like I was kind of reluctant to do it at 299 00:13:37.409 --> 00:13:38.990 the start and we I was joking as well when 300 00:13:39.049 --> 00:13:41.870 lockdown when the first one came in It was magic. 301 00:13:42.470 --> 00:13:43.509 Because we were so busy. 302 00:13:44.269 --> 00:13:47.809 Those first six weeks were scorching as well. Oh my God, 303 00:13:47.889 --> 00:13:49.070 it was so amazing. 304 00:13:49.509 --> 00:13:50.870 And the first couple of weeks was like, this is 305 00:13:50.929 --> 00:13:55.409 a top. Because at that stage, it was the busiest 306 00:13:55.470 --> 00:13:57.909 I'd ever been and you were probably the same. And 307 00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:59.549 then when the lockdown came, it was a tonic for 308 00:13:59.580 --> 00:14:02.120 the first couple of weeks. But then people were like, 309 00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:05.200 we can't leave the house. Like back in Ireland, you 310 00:14:05.220 --> 00:14:07.820 couldn't go any more than five kilometres from your address. 311 00:14:08.460 --> 00:14:09.620 And I was like, I have to do something. I 312 00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:12.320 hadn't picked up a guitar. for that couple of weeks 313 00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:14.419 and I was delighted. And then I was like, wasn't 314 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:16.799 the place something? And then done it. And it was 315 00:14:16.820 --> 00:14:20.029 like a thousand people coming on and watching. All local 316 00:14:20.070 --> 00:14:22.070 and people, but people that you would have met touring. 317 00:14:22.509 --> 00:14:25.309 And people were so good. People were sending money and 318 00:14:25.929 --> 00:14:27.289 sending in requests and, oh, will you give us a 319 00:14:27.330 --> 00:14:29.529 shout out the next thing? You know, they'd send you 320 00:14:29.529 --> 00:14:31.669 20 quid and all that. It was brilliant, but obviously 321 00:14:32.190 --> 00:14:35.149 nothing beats the real thing. But it was, it was 322 00:14:35.190 --> 00:14:37.970 good for what it was. But then, like the over 323 00:14:38.009 --> 00:14:41.690 here and it started to lift again. And like Danny 324 00:14:41.710 --> 00:14:43.669 was my only in. Do you know what I mean? 325 00:14:43.710 --> 00:14:45.649 I knew a lot of the, I wouldn't know Benny 326 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.559 and Marky and stuff like that, but Danny was playing 327 00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:51.080 in the pubs with Marky and stuff. And that was 328 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:53.139 my in. I think the first gig I done was 329 00:14:53.179 --> 00:14:55.399 in Malone's with you. I think that was the first 330 00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:58.120 one we done. And then once we got in the 331 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.809 door with Kitties, we just got on so well with 332 00:15:01.850 --> 00:15:04.830 all the staff. And like they're great friends of ours 333 00:15:05.470 --> 00:15:07.750 and they're so good to us. And it's just like, 334 00:15:08.450 --> 00:15:09.789 we're just in there all the time now. Do you 335 00:15:09.809 --> 00:15:11.750 know what I mean? And we're so well looked after 336 00:15:11.809 --> 00:15:14.889 and it is an amazing, it's an amazing place. You 337 00:15:14.909 --> 00:15:16.509 know what I mean? It's an amazing place you go in, 338 00:15:16.549 --> 00:15:17.950 you know what you're getting every time you go in. 339 00:15:17.970 --> 00:15:19.649 I thought you were coming in. Aye. 340 00:15:19.870 --> 00:15:20.190 We'd all be. 341 00:15:20.190 --> 00:15:21.960 You're going to be coming in on Friday. We're still, 342 00:15:21.980 --> 00:15:25.129 we're still trying to recover from that Cabo Royd trip. 343 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:25.899 I've not had a time yet. 344 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.080 We're a wee bit older than you remember. 345 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:29.259 We've been on the beer since Cabo Royd. 346 00:15:29.460 --> 00:15:30.379 We were in Shetland. 347 00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:31.220 Last weekend. 348 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:32.620 We were in Shetland. 349 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:33.440 It's a lie. 350 00:15:33.460 --> 00:15:34.539 There's nothing much else to do on there. 351 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:37.600 We were in Shetland for the first time. What else 352 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:39.059 are you going to do? How was that? 353 00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:40.120 How did that go? 354 00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:41.120 It was actually really good. 355 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.870 There was 250, again, you go to these places, you 356 00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:46.850 don't know what to expect. There was 250 Celtic supporters. 357 00:15:47.809 --> 00:15:48.929 You can't really see Lubeau though. 358 00:15:49.470 --> 00:15:50.470 You can't really see Lubeau. 359 00:15:50.529 --> 00:15:52.730 It was Lubeau, wasn't it? Lubeau was our first. Ah, brilliant. 360 00:15:52.830 --> 00:15:54.110 So it was a really good night. 361 00:15:54.210 --> 00:15:57.049 And then with the serial experience of me, you and 362 00:15:57.309 --> 00:16:01.360 Chick Young watching the Scotland game and my children, Hi guys, 363 00:16:01.500 --> 00:16:03.830 as you probably well know by now, we have signed 364 00:16:03.899 --> 00:16:08.870 up for the London Marathon next April and we have 365 00:16:08.909 --> 00:16:12.169 some fantastic people supporting us, groups supporting us, we're doing 366 00:16:12.190 --> 00:16:14.350 it for a fantastic cause, or two causes, who are 367 00:16:14.370 --> 00:16:14.789 we doing it for? 368 00:16:14.889 --> 00:16:19.179 We're doing it for Headway UK and the Concilium Sports Foundation. 369 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.399 Yep, so we're going to have some updated videos of 370 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.399 our progress and our training and everything else that it 371 00:16:26.419 --> 00:16:29.549 takes to get us over the line He's emphasised that 372 00:16:29.610 --> 00:16:30.529 time doesn't matter. 373

And yeah, look forward to some updates on here. 378 00:16:48.580 --> 00:16:49.360 Hopefully no injuries. 379 00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:51.600 We'd been invited after the gig. 380 00:16:56.129 --> 00:16:58.350 Going back to the room to watch the Brazil-Morocco game, 381 00:16:58.409 --> 00:17:00.289 as I said, just after that, we're like, we're just 382 00:17:00.309 --> 00:17:02.870 going to stay here and watch the Scotland game as well. 383 00:17:03.549 --> 00:17:04.119 Couple of turns. 384 00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:05.900 It's a good game, isn't it? 385 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:06.700 Where did you watch it? 386 00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:10.539 We went home down there.

A lot of 392 00:17:27.859 --> 00:17:31.829 people are like, ah, international football, ah, what about it, right? Right? 393 00:17:33.849 --> 00:17:37.210 A story before, last weekend, right?

And we were 397 00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:45.640 sitting down having a couple of pints.

--> 00:18:25.019 off yeah upstairs in Kitty O'Shea's. And the place was bouncing. 409 00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:26.160 So you were on just before? 410 00:18:26.500 --> 00:18:31.490 Aye, just before. And it was heaving busy. And I 411 00:18:31.509 --> 00:18:34.269 was like, right, we'll finish up. Because they wanted us off, obviously, 412 00:18:34.289 --> 00:18:38.210 before the anthems. So I was like, we'll finish up, 413 00:18:38.250 --> 00:18:41.279 we'll do Canada Onion, we're going to Loch Lomond after. Obviously, 414 00:18:41.410 --> 00:18:44.700 everyone up and going. And the place just went ballistic. 415 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.619 And we were doing Loch Lomond. And I was singing 416 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.960 and whatever. And next thing, some guy just threw up 417 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.599 a salt tyre And I looked over at him playing 418 00:18:52.619 --> 00:18:55.599 the whistle and he was greeting! It was emotional though, 419 00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.240 it was emotional. 420 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.400 The flower of Scotland was emotional. 421 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:03.099 It was amazing. 422 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:10.240 It sounded, it did get to you. I mean, been 423 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:13.930 in different times there, but I thought that was incredible. 424 00:19:14.009 --> 00:19:16.130 It was fantastic. When we got into the car, because 425 00:19:16.210 --> 00:19:18.160 I was like... We finished the quarter. 426 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:26.539 I was like rushing because I had to drop him 427 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:28.609 home and I wanted to get home because the missus 428 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.210 had it on the iPad in the bed. 429 00:19:30.910 --> 00:19:32.589 I was like, get home. We got into the car 430 00:19:32.630 --> 00:19:35.569 and next thing the anthem started. We played the Haitian 431 00:19:35.769 --> 00:19:37.890 national anthem first and it was whatever and it was grand. 432 00:19:38.410 --> 00:19:40.089 And we were stopped at the lights just down in 433 00:19:40.109 --> 00:19:45.009 the Garbles the next thing. Christ, and he's going, yes! 434 00:19:45.029 --> 00:19:48.900 Hitting the ceiling, he's like, come on, Scotland but it 435 00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:50.609 was it was amazing and. 436 00:19:50.670 --> 00:19:52.839 With the game being Friday yous will be playing again 437 00:19:53.380 --> 00:19:56.859 Kitties on Friday we are we will be no it's 438 00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:58.400 late 11 o'clock so. 439 00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:00.880 We're playing before and after you know what I mean 440 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.000 but we'll hopefully and if we get the same result 441 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.119 again it'll be a good one it's hard to know 442 00:20:05.140 --> 00:20:06.720 because obviously I thought I. 443 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.210 Thought he had a good side they made it difficult 444 00:20:09.250 --> 00:20:11.809 for us we were talking about it earlier you look 445 00:20:11.849 --> 00:20:15.190 at Cape Verde getting a point off Spenders you just 446 00:20:15.210 --> 00:20:17.730 don't know what to expect with these teams so I 447 00:20:17.750 --> 00:20:19.730 think we get a wee bit of stick because we 448 00:20:19.750 --> 00:20:20.430 didn't play as. 449 00:20:20.349 --> 00:20:22.920 Well but you take the three points I think France 450 00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:26.980 were surprised by Senegal there the first half France weren't awake. 451 00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:31.019 There yesterday I thought Senegal were decent Mbappe was amazing 452 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:33.119 I thought we were only talking about on the way 453 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.849 up when the commentator when, what's the boy that scored 454 00:20:36.869 --> 00:20:38.829 the goal for Senegal, the place for PSG? 455 00:20:40.009 --> 00:20:44.289 Young boy, he scored, he was a screamer of a 456 00:20:44.329 --> 00:20:48.230 goal he scored, and not 30 seconds later Mbappe just bang, 457 00:20:48.829 --> 00:20:51.150 and the commentator on top of it was like, anything 458 00:20:51.230 --> 00:20:53.799 you can do, I can do better, he's like, I'm 459 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:55.460 still the king, and I was like, and I don't 460 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:58.700 like Mbappe, like, I just don't like him, but I 461 00:20:58.720 --> 00:20:58.900 was like. 462 00:20:59.690 --> 00:21:01.910 Something straight yeah he's unbelievable but the kid took his 463 00:21:01.950 --> 00:21:04.599 goal well as well yeah he's a young laddie as 464 00:21:04.630 --> 00:21:07.599 well he's only 18 or something but I think Mbappé 465 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.319 even knows because he gave him a hug after the 466 00:21:10.339 --> 00:21:12.539 game was over and I reckon he not because the 467 00:21:12.579 --> 00:21:16.019 boys were saying he's the heir apparent in PSG. 468 00:21:15.769 --> 00:21:17.690 He's doing the fantasy football thing. 469 00:21:18.410 --> 00:21:20.289 I normally do it but I've no doubt is it 470 00:21:20.309 --> 00:21:20.710 the World. 471 00:21:20.589 --> 00:21:22.349 Cup I've no doubt it's my first time doing it 472 00:21:22.430 --> 00:21:24.089 how are you getting on don't know how to work. 473 00:21:23.990 --> 00:21:26.950 It Can he work it on the phone? 474 00:21:27.069 --> 00:21:28.819 I actually had a wee look and couldn't find it. 475 00:21:28.930 --> 00:21:30.519 Never mind how to work it. 476 00:21:30.549 --> 00:21:31.609 Can he work it on the phone? 477 00:21:31.650 --> 00:21:35.089 And then I had Mbappé, but it wasn't until after 478 00:21:35.109 --> 00:21:37.589 the game I realised he was sitting on my bench. 479 00:21:38.859 --> 00:21:40.640 So he scored two goals and I'd have been shot 480 00:21:40.660 --> 00:21:41.339 right up the leg. 481 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:46.140 I normally do the English Premiership one, but I literally 482 00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:46.750 couldn't find it. 483 00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:49.400 Aye.

He's not used to it, though. 487 00:21:54.970 --> 00:21:56.430 And I had the Hingway boy, I had the boy 488 00:21:56.450 --> 00:21:58.690 for Spain, and they were tortured, eh? 489 00:21:59.210 --> 00:22:03.349 They struggled, they struggled.

Aye, aye, aye. 622 00:27:15.529 --> 00:27:17.269 We've done a lot of Europe. 623 00:27:17.789 --> 00:27:20.849 What was that like in comparison then to other festivals? 624 00:27:21.049 --> 00:27:23.950 It's funny, like, so I was only thinking about this 625 00:27:23.990 --> 00:27:26.680 during the week, obviously thinking about what we'd speak about, 626 00:27:26.700 --> 00:27:29.900 but it was like, what we'd done with Irish Celtic, 627 00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:35.890 that's a massive production. Huge production. Three Arctic trucks, 15, 628 00:27:35.890 --> 00:27:40.250 16 crew, plus in-house crew at the venues. And it's 629 00:27:40.309 --> 00:27:44.410 not dissimilar to what ye would have went through playing 630 00:27:44.430 --> 00:27:46.089 football in a way. And what I mean by that is. 631 00:27:46.309 --> 00:27:48.250 Was there so different bands going to these places? 632 00:27:48.289 --> 00:27:51.539 No, this is the one house band. So there's five 633 00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:54.240 in the band and then there's like 15 dancers. Something 634 00:27:54.259 --> 00:27:59.240 like that, aye. And it's regimented, right? Everyone's working off 635 00:27:59.259 --> 00:28:02.619 a click track. Full lights, full... It's like a West 636 00:28:02.660 --> 00:28:06.619 End show, basically, the tours. But it's so similar in 637 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:10.309 that you wake up in the hotel... you go on 638 00:28:10.329 --> 00:28:13.210 the bus, you go to the venue. Like ye, you 639 00:28:13.250 --> 00:28:15.410 wake up at the team hotel, you go on the bus, 640 00:28:15.670 --> 00:28:17.910 you go to the stadium. And it's like, you go in, 641 00:28:17.950 --> 00:28:20.349 you do your sound check, you do your warm-up. You 642 00:28:20.390 --> 00:28:22.130 go in, right, you go and

wait for the gig 643 00:28:22.170 --> 00:28:23.970 to come, you get ready to go on to the pitch, 644 00:28:24.130 --> 00:28:26.410 we go out and do the show, there's a half-time, 645 00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:28.160 you go out, and it was so, and it's that 646 00:28:28.259 --> 00:28:31.420 regimented thing of, and like, we were doing gigs too, 647 00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:34.680 like we've done some of the most amazing, like the 648 00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:37.480 Alta Opera in Frankfurt, which is like 3,000, but it's, 649 00:28:38.990 --> 00:28:43.410 this opulent, gorgeous building, like the Feshbielhaus in Baden-Baden, the 650 00:28:43.450 --> 00:28:46.869 Dome de Paris, the Seine Musicale, which is the big, 651 00:28:46.930 --> 00:28:49.430 massive venue on the Seine in Paris. We've done some 652 00:28:49.450 --> 00:28:53.539 of the most renowned venues in Paris. Like, what we've 653 00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:57.140 done there was so regimented. And it was the same 654 00:28:57.180 --> 00:28:59.619 every night, because that's just the way the show had 655 00:28:59.660 --> 00:29:02.740 to be. It was militant in that way. But it 656 00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:07.039 was amazing, because you were going from playing in a 1,000-seater Victorian. 657 00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:11.839 With all the red velvet seats and everyone's in it 658 00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.059 like that to play in Zenith stadiums which are the 659 00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:17.349 size of the Hydra. You know what I mean? And 660 00:29:18.130 --> 00:29:19.930 what was nice about it as well was you were 661 00:29:19.970 --> 00:29:23.210 doing these massive gigs and like when you got a 662 00:29:23.210 --> 00:29:24.990 good crowd, it was like you'd come off the stage, 663 00:29:25.009 --> 00:29:27.730 you'd be buzzing. You'd be electric, people giving you a 664 00:29:27.730 --> 00:29:30.190 standing ovation. But the thing that was great about it was, 665 00:29:30.809 --> 00:29:32.470 see if you walked out without the guitar on your back, 666 00:29:32.769 --> 00:29:34.589 no one had a clue where you were. Do you 667 00:29:34.609 --> 00:29:36.480 know what I mean? People wouldn't care. But then if 668 00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:38.150 you walked out and you had the guitar on your 669 00:29:38.170 --> 00:29:41.180 back and all that, people are, oh, we have four, blah, blah. blah, blah, blah. 670 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:42.539 We'd be just, we'd go to the pub straight away. 671 00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:44.519 We'd be out before the crowd half the time. 672 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.420 You must have had it yourself when you travelled with 673 00:29:47.460 --> 00:29:50.799 the team and that. European ties, you'd go, you'd spend 674 00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:52.420 maybe a day or two there, you'd see nothing. 675 00:29:53.049 --> 00:29:54.269 So we used to get that quite a lot. 676 00:29:54.289 --> 00:29:55.430 That's what I was about to say. You're just going 677 00:29:55.450 --> 00:29:56.490 through one venue. 678 00:29:56.549 --> 00:29:59.950 Although you're appreciating the actual venue you're in, you're not seeing. 679 00:29:59.809 --> 00:30:00.549 Much else, are you? 680 00:30:00.609 --> 00:30:01.769 Sometimes you didn't really get it. 681 00:30:01.769 --> 00:30:03.109 And how long would you be away for then? 682 00:30:03.609 --> 00:30:07.170 We could be 12 weeks. We'd done a 12-week tour 683 00:30:07.230 --> 00:30:07.490 one time. 684 00:30:07.809 --> 00:30:10.579 Maybe one, 12. There was a few nines. 685 00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:12.380 Nine was the average. Nine, ten. 686 00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:15.140 Six weeks. I mean, we were lucky enough to go 687 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:16.480 and see the world. 688 00:30:16.500 --> 00:30:19.799 We went to North America, to Canada, Asia. 689 00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:21.039 I mean, before. 690 00:30:22.420 --> 00:30:24.660 You joined, we've done kind of Australia and New Zealand 691 00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:27.420 and stuff as well, which was amazing. But lucky enough 692 00:30:27.460 --> 00:30:29.369 to kind of see a bit of the world with it. 693 00:30:29.950 --> 00:30:31.130 But like, as you say, like. 694 00:30:31.329 --> 00:30:33.930 So the difference with the one two weeks ago is 695 00:30:33.990 --> 00:30:35.630 probably it's a wee bit more relaxed. 696 00:30:35.829 --> 00:30:36.670 Definitely. 697 00:30:36.690 --> 00:30:38.410 You can chill and they're the ones you enjoy. 698 00:30:38.430 --> 00:30:40.759 They're the ones you want. I think we're at an 699 00:30:40.819 --> 00:30:43.700 age now, like, it's kind of slag. I know I'm 700 00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:46.900 only 30, but it's a young man's game going out 701 00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:49.890 on the road for nine, ten weeks. Like I have 702 00:30:49.910 --> 00:30:54.349 a three-year-old and I'm getting married next year and it's like, we, 703 00:30:54.690 --> 00:30:55.450 like I've toured. 704 00:30:55.710 --> 00:30:59.269 We were saying that after Cabo Roig. It was only 705 00:30:59.289 --> 00:31:01.609 five nights. 706 00:31:01.650 --> 00:31:02.849 That did fuel that a couple. 707 00:31:02.710 --> 00:31:04.250 Of weeks though. 708 00:31:04.430 --> 00:31:05.650 Three days on. 709 00:31:05.670 --> 00:31:09.589 But it's funny, like when we go away and it's 710 00:31:09.630 --> 00:31:11.910 like the older you get, the less time you want 711 00:31:11.950 --> 00:31:13.170 to be away, a lot of the time as well. 712 00:31:13.890 --> 00:31:16.339 But like going out to France there and you're away 713 00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:19.410 for nine, ten weeks, See, getting a young lad now, 714 00:31:19.569 --> 00:31:21.450 if he's just at uni, that's the gig you want. 715 00:31:21.970 --> 00:31:26.759 You're not getting to see places all the time, but 716 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:29.900 we were lucky there. I think it might have been 717 00:31:29.940 --> 00:31:32.640 our last tour that we'd done. It was very unusual 718 00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:35.180 for us to be in one place for

more than 719 00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:37.720 a night. Normally when you're touring, it's like you'd be 720 00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:40.559 in Leon this night and you'd be in Pole this 721 00:31:40.619 --> 00:31:42.460 night and the next day is a six hour drive. 722 00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:44.500 But when you were in the big cities, you normally 723 00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:47.539 done a five day residency. With the last one that 724 00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:50.279 we done in France, we were in Paris for 10 days. 725 00:31:51.059 --> 00:31:53.279 So you thought that six days in Cabo Roig was long. 726 00:31:53.660 --> 00:31:55.940 See that 10 days in Paris, boys? I felt like 727 00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:57.509 we were there for six months. I remember waking up 728 00:31:57.529 --> 00:32:00.289 in the room going, oh my God, we're still in Paris. 729 00:32:01.170 --> 00:32:04.029 We're still in Paris. And it was mental. But like, 730 00:32:05.990 --> 00:32:06.950 the grass is always greener. 731 00:32:06.970 --> 00:32:08.849 That's what I was going to say. We've always said that. 732 00:32:09.009 --> 00:32:09.549 The grass is always greener. 733 00:32:09.569 --> 00:32:11.250 The grass is always greener because when you're doing that, 734 00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:14.039 you're wanting to do these gigs. And then see when 735 00:32:14.059 --> 00:32:15.619 you get to do a lot of these gigs. 736 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:15.819 Yeah. 737 00:32:16.619 --> 00:32:18.549 You're like, oh, I kind of miss going and doing 738 00:32:18.569 --> 00:32:19.369 the big things, so. 739 00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:20.160 Paris sounds good. 740 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:22.829 But it's even. I know you're working, but. Aye, but 741 00:32:22.910 --> 00:32:27.970 even like, for me, right, the way, just for me personally, 742 00:32:27.990 --> 00:32:30.109 the way the career kind of went with, when I 743 00:32:30.130 --> 00:32:33.150 done the gig in Disney, it was amazing, 19, full 744 00:32:33.170 --> 00:32:34.690 of piss and vinegar, thought I was the man, the 745 00:32:34.730 --> 00:32:37.089 chest out, you know, and then you get knocked back 746 00:32:37.130 --> 00:32:39.390 into line fairly quick, and I needed that, like, and 747 00:32:39.410 --> 00:32:41.549 when I was out there, I thought I was the man, 748 00:32:41.609 --> 00:32:43.490 but I had friends that were good enough around me 749 00:32:43.509 --> 00:32:46.049 to say, don't get too fucking cocksure of yourself. 750 00:32:46.170 --> 00:32:46.289 Yeah. 751 00:32:46.730 --> 00:32:48.750 Which I needed. I was lucky enough to have people 752 00:32:48.769 --> 00:32:51.829 like that around me, but then when I left that 753 00:32:51.890 --> 00:32:53.869 and went and joined the Young Wolftones, that was my 754 00:32:53.890 --> 00:32:57.480 first time touring. And it was like, you'd land in, 755 00:32:58.220 --> 00:33:00.619 you'd go and get the big van, and it was 756 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:02.480 like you were packing all these cases with

all the 757 00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:05.420 gear and the equipment, and it was like... Good grounding 758 00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:08.980 for you. Oh, it was that all right. It was like... 759 00:33:08.819 --> 00:33:13.150 I'll give you an example. There was one time we'd 760 00:33:13.170 --> 00:33:16.589 done a... It was a private house party gig in Philadelphia... 761 00:33:16.740 --> 00:33:18.619 We got off the stage about 11 o'clock on a 762 00:33:18.700 --> 00:33:24.920 Sunday night. The next gig was in Houston, Texas, which 763 00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:27.369 is about a 27-hour drive, and that was on the 764 00:33:27.430 --> 00:33:32.690 Tuesday night, right? So we packed the van, drove about 765 00:33:32.690 --> 00:33:35.049 15 hours down to Memphis, got there in the afternoon, 766 00:33:35.089 --> 00:33:37.809 went and done Graceland, went and done Sun Studios and 767 00:33:37.829 --> 00:33:39.970 done all that, and it was great. But then it 768 00:33:39.990 --> 00:33:42.380 was like, right, we're up at 5 o'clock, get back 769 00:33:42.420 --> 00:33:44.980 in the van, we've another 10 hours to drive. And 770 00:33:45.019 --> 00:33:46.500 it was just, it was that. 771 00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:49.680 I've got abandoned planes, trains and automobiles in my head. 772 00:33:50.380 --> 00:33:55.039 Joint candy. That's what it is. Like another time, I 773 00:33:55.059 --> 00:33:57.220 think I told you about this one, out in Spain. 774 00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:00.519 We were doing a festival up in upstate New York 775 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:03.759 and Norwegian used to do the cheap transatlantic flights between 776 00:34:03.779 --> 00:34:06.920 Dublin and Stewart Airport. So Stewart Airport was about two 777 00:34:06.940 --> 00:34:09.559 hours north of Manhattan. But if you got the flight 778 00:34:09.579 --> 00:34:11.920 with them, they were like the Ryanair of a transatlantic flight. 779 00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:14.050 But if you got the flight with them, included in 780 00:34:14.230 --> 00:34:16.610 the ticket was your bus fare that would bring you 781 00:34:16.630 --> 00:34:19.309 to Manhattan. It was a two hour drive. And we 782 00:34:19.369 --> 00:34:21.769 used to fly with Delta. So we used to normally fly, 783 00:34:21.989 --> 00:34:23.909 you'd fly to JFK, but he was like, we're better 784 00:34:23.949 --> 00:34:25.880 off flying there because the festival is 15 minutes around 785 00:34:25.909 --> 00:34:30.539 the corner.
