How have 00:01:35.230 --> 00:01:38.069 you been, my friend? All good. All good. We chatted 00:01:38.069 --> 00:01:41.590 not that long before Christmas. So I know that 00:01:41.590 --> 00:01:43.769 the regular listeners on all the stations will 00:01:43.769 --> 00:01:46.030 know exactly who you are, which is wonderful. 00:01:46.370 --> 00:01:48.950 And we had some exciting news, which we're now 00:01:48.950 --> 00:01:53.049 right in that period now. And that is, of course, 00:01:53.950 --> 00:01:58.319 the Boy's Life Tour. Yeah. it's uh sort of and 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:03.680 there's a lot of dates there so um if you haven't 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.480 had the opportunity yourself to uh go around 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:11.560 and see the uk you certainly have now haven't 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:16.979 you no corners unturned it is uh quite the tour 00:02:17.189 --> 00:02:19.849 Yeah, it's looking good, it's looking good. Tell 00:02:19.849 --> 00:02:22.590 me, what's the most exciting bit about the tour 00:02:22.590 --> 00:02:26.229 to you? Is it different parts of the UK or is 00:02:26.229 --> 00:02:30.009 it the music side or a whole load of it? All 00:02:30.009 --> 00:02:33.389 of it. I think coming back after being here in 00:02:33.389 --> 00:02:38.590 November, it feels comfortable, feels familiar. 00:02:39.550 --> 00:02:42.300 And then of course, on the music side, Uh, I 00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:44.599 was a bit nervous, you know, jumping on a, on 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.740 a tour, like with boys life, but the contrast 00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:50.199 between the styles, I think works really well. 00:02:50.259 --> 00:02:52.960 You know, the audience has been super receptive 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.020 of it. And it was a bit of a gamble on my, on 00:02:56.020 --> 00:02:58.780 my part, but I thought, you know, um, let's give 00:02:58.780 --> 00:03:00.639 this a whirl. Cause I did want to see more of 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.599 the UK. And I knew they, they, uh, they had great 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:07.180 crowds and, um, the figures have been just, just 00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:12.020 beautiful, amazing. dream come true. I play, 00:03:12.020 --> 00:03:17.219 I play dive bars and you know, some couple theaters 00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:19.419 back home, but nothing, nothing like you guys 00:03:19.419 --> 00:03:23.310 have here. So it's just, it's been amazing. Yeah, 00:03:23.310 --> 00:03:25.729 I think I mean obviously everything's on a much 00:03:25.729 --> 00:03:28.389 smaller scale here in the UK is much more condensed 00:03:28.389 --> 00:03:32.930 we say But of course something you may notice 00:03:32.930 --> 00:03:34.789 I don't know you have it in the States because 00:03:34.789 --> 00:03:37.870 there's a lot of these sort of Municipal theaters 00:03:37.870 --> 00:03:40.289 where you may have a thousand seat theater, which 00:03:40.289 --> 00:03:42.930 is run by the local council They have that just 00:03:42.930 --> 00:03:45.879 so that the I mean a thousand towns in the country 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.900 have this my town has it and it's a theatre that's 00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:52.039 basically it's owned or run did or leased out 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.919 or rented out by the local council just to provide 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.199 like live entertainment for that town there's 00:03:58.199 --> 00:03:59.479 not these have been going back over a hundred 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.840 years or more and still going and you'll see 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.539 a lot of these or you've seen a lot of these 00:04:03.539 --> 00:04:05.699 places on the tour it's quite incredible you 00:04:05.699 --> 00:04:08.159 think wow the council do that for their people 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:14.620 but yeah you know Blown me away. I'm you answered 00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:16.680 it for me because I'm sitting there going like 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.160 wow like You just you don't expect it. You don't 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.319 we don't have anything like that We've got a 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.019 few old theaters and stuff in the in the states, 00:04:25.019 --> 00:04:27.459 but they don't support them like they are here 00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:30.620 I mean the the like you said the city's involved 00:04:30.620 --> 00:04:33.759 and just I mean it's And they're beautiful. They're 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:37.339 well -maintained and the staffs. I mean every 00:04:37.339 --> 00:04:40.550 every single staff has just been Everybody's 00:04:40.550 --> 00:04:43.430 happy to do what they're doing, and it just makes 00:04:43.430 --> 00:04:46.009 it that much more enjoyable. And a lot of them 00:04:46.009 --> 00:04:48.050 are decent sizes. A lot of them do have a thousand 00:04:48.050 --> 00:04:51.110 seats, two thousand seats, some of them. Some 00:04:51.110 --> 00:04:52.389 are bigger, but you know, if you go to proper 00:04:52.389 --> 00:04:53.829 theatres, I'm going to talk about these municipal 00:04:53.829 --> 00:04:56.370 type theatres that are... run by the councils 00:04:56.370 --> 00:04:59.490 which is amazing we we we are lucky to have them 00:04:59.490 --> 00:05:01.910 we don't realize at the time it's easy to moan 00:05:01.910 --> 00:05:04.129 but you know it's easy to moan about the council 00:05:04.129 --> 00:05:05.449 and you start thinking about things like that 00:05:05.449 --> 00:05:07.970 they do that just for a live live entertainment 00:05:07.970 --> 00:05:09.949 venue which is good because you get some quite 00:05:09.949 --> 00:05:12.430 big names come around you know it's not just 00:05:12.430 --> 00:05:15.730 it gives the people in those towns that chance 00:05:15.730 --> 00:05:18.569 to see somebody but they wouldn't have the opportunity 00:05:18.569 --> 00:05:21.629 to see otherwise so a lot of that over here so 00:05:21.629 --> 00:05:24.540 yeah yeah but Then again, you've got a lot of 00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:27.860 older venues as well. I thought you were going 00:05:27.860 --> 00:05:30.860 to Eastbourne. Was it the... Which one? I think 00:05:30.860 --> 00:05:32.279 it was when you were going to Eastbourne. Was 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.500 it the Congress or was it the Royal Hippodrome? 00:05:35.500 --> 00:05:39.319 Either way, they're both theatres, musical theatres 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.980 that I'm talking about. Yeah, which is wonderful. 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.779 Yeah, so... Something about Boy's Life, I don't 00:05:45.779 --> 00:05:48.740 know, because we speak to quite a lot of their 00:05:48.740 --> 00:05:54.629 people that support them, and generally, It seems 00:05:54.629 --> 00:05:58.230 to be like sure can cheese the and they do it 00:05:58.230 --> 00:05:59.889 must do it for a reason it's worked really well 00:05:59.889 --> 00:06:03.370 with you and No one's not gone down well with 00:06:03.370 --> 00:06:05.850 them. So Obviously, they're good. They're good 00:06:05.850 --> 00:06:07.250 at what they do. They've been doing it for a 00:06:07.250 --> 00:06:10.790 long time one way or another When when you got 00:06:10.790 --> 00:06:15.209 the call you think you sure, you know, okay obviously 00:06:15.209 --> 00:06:22.259 they They knew it would work somehow Come to 00:06:22.259 --> 00:06:24.819 find out Brian McFadden. I think he's a he's 00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:30.300 a he's a big country fan and He's a the boys 00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:32.800 have been great. I mean they've been super supportive 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:37.920 and Yeah, I was a little I I had to think about 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:43.490 it as you guys would say over here That It was 00:06:43.490 --> 00:06:45.550 a gamble. And I thought, you know what, let's 00:06:45.550 --> 00:06:47.829 go for it and see what happens. Cause I didn't 00:06:47.829 --> 00:06:50.110 want to see more of the countryside. And I knew 00:06:50.110 --> 00:06:53.850 that the theaters were, were pretty awesome. 00:06:53.910 --> 00:06:56.370 Just from what I had seen in the, in, you know, 00:06:56.410 --> 00:07:00.670 online and I'm like, but it's paying off. I think, 00:07:00.810 --> 00:07:03.029 I mean, they've been, like I said, the, the fans 00:07:03.029 --> 00:07:04.649 have been great. They've been very accepting. 00:07:04.790 --> 00:07:06.930 And you know, they, I come out on stage and they're 00:07:06.930 --> 00:07:09.370 like, well, who the heck is this guy? You know, 00:07:09.389 --> 00:07:11.990 and by the end of it, uh we're all just having 00:07:11.990 --> 00:07:15.290 a hooting good time so they're all there dancing 00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:18.029 they're all there doing whatever they do to join 00:07:18.029 --> 00:07:22.269 in so yeah yeah live for you as well and obviously 00:07:22.269 --> 00:07:24.110 you lift the boys life when they take over the 00:07:24.110 --> 00:07:27.410 stage so yeah yeah my job is to get them get 00:07:27.410 --> 00:07:32.290 them ready right yeah well there you go and let's 00:07:32.290 --> 00:07:37.129 talk about again about um doing some more concerts 00:07:37.129 --> 00:07:39.889 of Joe Hermes by himself. How's that looking 00:07:39.889 --> 00:07:45.129 for later in the year? Yeah, well, I've got a 00:07:45.129 --> 00:07:47.470 couple tours this spring and I know they're working 00:07:47.470 --> 00:07:52.949 on stuff for for this fall right now. So we had 00:07:52.949 --> 00:07:56.990 some we had some dates in May that we were working 00:07:56.990 --> 00:07:59.490 on, but I think those aren't working out right 00:07:59.490 --> 00:08:02.740 now just because of the other tour that I'm heading 00:08:02.740 --> 00:08:07.480 out on right after this, which goes through Germany 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.680 and it has comes back to the UK for a few dates 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.279 and then ends in the Netherlands and that's more 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:22.399 of a rock tour. So yeah, we're interested. I'm 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.199 very interested to see where it goes after this 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.759 show. Sure, I did notice you had some European 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:31.939 dates in. Right, tell us about this new single. 00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:34.919 Tell us all about that. I've just been listening 00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.320 to it, but let's hear it from you. How you're 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.399 pushing it and how you'd like, I mean, obviously 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.759 they're all going to hear it, but how, before 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.519 I play it to them, what would they, what would 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:46.940 you, if you described to somebody you didn't 00:08:46.940 --> 00:08:48.360 have the means to play it to them, how would 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.919 you describe it? So the song's called That Country 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.309 High and It's a little outside the box of what 00:08:56.309 --> 00:09:00.210 I normally do. Of course, this tour was the right 00:09:00.210 --> 00:09:02.330 tour for this song. It's got some of the pop 00:09:02.330 --> 00:09:05.090 elements, it's got some R &B elements in it, 00:09:05.129 --> 00:09:07.830 as well as the country thing. And the song generally 00:09:07.830 --> 00:09:11.470 is just about going, you know, I grew up in a 00:09:11.470 --> 00:09:16.269 small country town in Illinois, and our idea 00:09:16.269 --> 00:09:21.450 of a good time was heading out, you know, somebody's 00:09:21.450 --> 00:09:25.889 pasture and, you know, I'll buy their barn having 00:09:25.889 --> 00:09:29.129 campfires bonfires whatever and you know being 00:09:29.129 --> 00:09:31.990 in the city a lot now when I head back to the 00:09:31.990 --> 00:09:36.190 country you get this this natural like feeling 00:09:36.190 --> 00:09:40.250 of it's just fresh air it's relaxing and kind 00:09:40.250 --> 00:09:43.570 of invigorates you in a way that the big city 00:09:43.570 --> 00:09:45.250 doesn't I mean they both have their own thing 00:09:45.250 --> 00:09:47.529 but that country high is just about that it's 00:09:47.529 --> 00:09:50.629 about going out Into the countryside and having 00:09:50.629 --> 00:09:52.769 a good time with your friends or your mates as 00:09:52.769 --> 00:09:57.190 you guys would say and just just You know having 00:09:57.190 --> 00:09:59.470 a fun sing -along.

It's it's definitely On the spectrum on 00:10:05.309 --> 00:10:07.490 one side of what I do but this was the right 00:10:07.490 --> 00:10:11.409 tour to bring this this song out because It is 00:10:11.409 --> 00:10:13.830 fun and it gets the gets people singing and dancing. 00:10:13.850 --> 00:10:17.509 It's it's It's been it's been going over.

And I 00:18:55.480 --> 00:19:00.180 inadvertently called it an Irish accent. And 00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:02.940 I mean, you would have thought I just, oh my 00:19:02.940 --> 00:19:07.119 goodness. I'm like, I'm just a big dumb American. 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.500 I was like, you know, I was begging for mercy 00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:12.480 because you would have thought I just ran over 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:17.329 a dog and you know, I mean, so I have to learn. 00:19:17.430 --> 00:19:20.369 You guys have a lot of accents around here and 00:19:20.369 --> 00:19:23.869 I have to learn. I got to learn it because I 00:19:23.869 --> 00:19:26.190 have a big problem of putting my foot in my mouth 00:19:26.190 --> 00:19:29.470 when I talk to people, you know, just trying 00:19:29.470 --> 00:19:32.829 to be friendly, making, you know, passing comments. 00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:37.720 I've learned. I've learned. All right, so we 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.460 don't we don't talk religion. We don't talk politics 00:19:40.460 --> 00:19:43.380 and we don't talk football. And now we don't 00:19:43.380 --> 00:19:48.700 talk accents either. Yes. I think probably the 00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:51.180 at least she didn't accuse it of being a Scottish 00:19:51.180 --> 00:19:54.779 accent or something. Actually, I think I did. 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.920 Oh, okay. Because I went Irish and then she looked 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.720 at me and then I said Scottish and then it was 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:04.579 like death stares. So Scotland and Northern Ireland. 00:20:05.139 --> 00:20:07.380 you've got a 50 -50 chance of getting it right 00:20:07.380 --> 00:20:08.980 when it comes to religion, all right? But if 00:20:08.980 --> 00:20:11.880 you get it wrong, it could be badly right. No 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:14.339 offense meant to any lovely people in both sides, 00:20:14.859 --> 00:20:18.019 but yeah, it could go badly wrong, so yeah. But 00:20:18.019 --> 00:20:21.460 it's worth avoiding if you're in certain places. 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:25.880 I think I should zip it up when it comes to that. 00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:29.279 Don't forget. We've got four countries and something 00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:32.299 a little much bigger than New York, so you know. 00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:34.920 Because it is four countries at the end of the 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:39.490 day all in the UK, so yeah. And you know what 00:20:39.490 --> 00:20:42.049 though, that's what's so fun about it is because 00:20:42.049 --> 00:20:44.289 you can drive an hour or two down the road and 00:20:44.289 --> 00:20:47.890 it's a different world. And we're really, really 00:20:47.890 --> 00:20:49.910 enjoying it over here. That's brilliant as well. 00:20:50.170 --> 00:20:51.589 I'm glad. It's great having you over here as 00:20:51.589 --> 00:20:54.309 well. And yeah, every success as I say.
