The energy Music is the 00:02:17.710 --> 00:02:22.729 energy, music is the fuel I don't have religion 00:02:22.729 --> 00:02:27.719 so I needed something and music has taken the 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.979 place really of anything of that side of my life, 00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:34.460 the spiritual side of my life. And it is a very 00:02:34.460 --> 00:02:38.439 spiritual thing because it's with me 24 hours, 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.539 25 hours a day is that long. And even in my dreams, 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.219 I write songs in my dreams and I alter songs 00:02:46.219 --> 00:02:49.949 in my dreams. I can't seem to escape, but it's 00:02:49.949 --> 00:02:53.210 a sort of escape thing I don't want. I like it 00:02:53.210 --> 00:02:58.590 the way it is. Just recently, and it's got worse. 00:02:58.870 --> 00:03:01.750 I mean, that's the strangest thing. This love 00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:04.169 of music has got deeper and deeper and deeper. 00:03:04.810 --> 00:03:08.090 And I find, instead of playing golf now as much 00:03:08.090 --> 00:03:10.389 as I used to, which I adore golf, don't get me 00:03:10.389 --> 00:03:15.710 wrong, but I just love constructing songs. and 00:03:15.710 --> 00:03:18.650 writing now, and it's paying off as well, thankfully. 00:03:19.169 --> 00:03:24.530 It is paying off. It's wonderful. Now we've been 00:03:24.530 --> 00:03:28.860 talking about this new album. three interviews 00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:31.300 probably now last two three years anyway you've 00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:34.259 been talking about it and uh now we have got 00:03:34.259 --> 00:03:36.539 the album we've got the new single from it uh 00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:41.319 let's rock this place so uh inspiration behind 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.740 some of these songs i mean we got the as i say 00:03:43.740 --> 00:03:47.599 let's rock this place out uh what else can people 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.620 expect what would you like people to really listen 00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:51.400 out for on the album are there certain tracks 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:55.909 that mean a lot to you marty Well, they're not 00:03:55.909 --> 00:03:59.830 all self -penned. I mean, some are, but one of 00:03:59.830 --> 00:04:01.870 the tracks, apart from Let's Rock This Place, 00:04:03.930 --> 00:04:07.370 I like your loving touch, but I also love... 00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:12.550 We did a version of Sting's song, Can't Stand 00:04:12.550 --> 00:04:15.590 Losing You, and it's one of my favorite tracks 00:04:15.590 --> 00:04:19.170 on the album. And another one of Kim's tracks, 00:04:20.089 --> 00:04:25.220 Words Fell Down, which I took and... because 00:04:25.220 --> 00:04:28.500 I'd written that, I'd co -written it, and I wanted 00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:32.699 to just try a little bit of a different slant 00:04:32.699 --> 00:04:36.579 on it slightly, but with a rockabilly feel. And 00:04:36.579 --> 00:04:39.160 the whole album has got this rockabilly, rock 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:43.240 and roll, double bass, drum, real sound, real 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.100 people, you know, none of this phoniness, no. 00:04:46.540 --> 00:04:49.199 Because that's what made me, turned me onto this 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.300 album, was I said to my wife, I have another 00:04:53.300 --> 00:04:55.759 album, you see, which I made. I'll take a year 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.180 to make an album. It takes about a year for me 00:04:58.180 --> 00:05:01.819 because I'm very fastidious with on tracks and 00:05:01.819 --> 00:05:04.579 I do the arrangements till I have to get the 00:05:04.579 --> 00:05:06.620 sound right and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.439 So the first album was finished almost, but not 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.560 quite. And I was getting fed up with doing the 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.240 same old thing. And I just got fed up. And I 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.639 said to my wife, no, this is not working for 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.829 me for a while. She said, well, why don't you 00:05:21.829 --> 00:05:24.629 have a rest from it and try some rock and roll? 00:05:24.769 --> 00:05:27.009 And I thought, rock and roll? I said, no, I can't 00:05:27.009 --> 00:05:28.470 do that. I said, you know, I've done that for 00:05:28.470 --> 00:05:31.610 years. She said, no, go back to it. And because 00:05:31.610 --> 00:05:34.170 I've always been telling her that rock and roll 00:05:34.170 --> 00:05:37.189 and the rockabilly boys, it would be great if 00:05:37.189 --> 00:05:41.930 they commandeered some contemporary writers to 00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:45.009 give them their songs and then put the rockabilly 00:05:45.009 --> 00:05:48.230 beat to it. You can't go wrong. The rockabilly 00:05:48.230 --> 00:05:50.209 sound and the rockabilly beat is one of the best 00:05:50.209 --> 00:05:53.220 in the world. but it's been neglected it's been 00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:56.100 absolutely neglected and that's what this record 00:05:56.100 --> 00:05:59.000 does it's bringing back and it's waking people 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.199 up to what we've lost what we forgot too many 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.420 american too many american very clean very perfect 00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:08.639 songs to hell with all that we've got a double 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.939 bass there mate there's a few mistakes on it 00:06:10.939 --> 00:06:13.560 don't get me wrong few mistakes on on this record 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.720 but tiny ones there were mistakes on elvis's 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.839 first album and look where it got him so all 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.300 that matters is the feel and that's what's on 00:06:22.300 --> 00:06:24.759 this album that's great that's brilliant and 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.980 of course your wife would be one to a good one 00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:30.699 to get some advice from because Joyce I think 00:06:30.699 --> 00:06:34.459 it is she in her own right was a very successful 00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:37.519 singer and I believe you met on a on a whatever 00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.560 the tv show was in the late 50s and of course 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.019 she was yeah one of the vernon's girls who of 00:06:43.019 --> 00:06:45.120 course ended up having hits in their own rights 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.500 lover please and so on so she also was in the 00:06:48.500 --> 00:06:53.620 music business so wonderful so yeah it's a it's 00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:56.199 family yeah it's a showbiz family it's a showbiz 00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.420 family um in many ways but we're not show business 00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:02.199 like normal show business we don't hang around 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.019 showbiz in in you know around We've always been 00:07:06.019 --> 00:07:08.959 quite insular in some ways. We keep ourselves 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:12.339 to ourselves, but don't get me wrong, we love 00:07:12.339 --> 00:07:16.220 our industry, but we're not what I call show 00:07:16.220 --> 00:07:18.920 business. Show business is like Liberace. That's 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.459 what reminds me of show business. And that's 00:07:21.459 --> 00:07:25.759 the last thing we are. We're just basic people 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.389 trying to do a reasonable job. in a fantastic 00:07:30.389 --> 00:07:33.449 business. You mentioned a branch, it made me 00:07:33.449 --> 00:07:36.230 smile. You've got some great outfits, but I think 00:07:36.230 --> 00:07:38.009 it could be a long time before in one of them 00:07:38.009 --> 00:07:43.670 long white flowing coats that go 50 feet. That 00:07:43.670 --> 00:07:48.370 wouldn't work, no. Oh, wow. I see also, Marty, 00:07:48.490 --> 00:07:52.709 on the album, featuring Daryl Hyam and the Enforcers 00:07:52.709 --> 00:07:59.050 as opposed to the Wildcats. Who's Daryl Hyam 00:07:59.050 --> 00:08:01.290 and the Enforcers and are the Wildcats coming 00:08:01.290 --> 00:08:03.269 on tour? Do you still or how's that working out 00:08:03.269 --> 00:08:06.230 this year? Well, Daryl Hyam is a rocker rocker 00:08:06.230 --> 00:08:08.730 Billy a brilliant rocker Billy and has been he's 00:08:08.730 --> 00:08:11.250 been you know He's worked with him. He's worked 00:08:11.250 --> 00:08:13.649 with a mailed a May he's worked with Jeff Beck 00:08:13.649 --> 00:08:16.910 He's worked with all the big boys and he's one 00:08:16.910 --> 00:08:21.790 of the best and But my my band my own Wildcats 00:08:21.790 --> 00:08:24.410 that I have at our tour with they're a different 00:08:24.410 --> 00:08:29.220 kind of band They're much more sort of, musicianly 00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:33.279 in a funny kind of way, they're a softer sound. 00:08:33.460 --> 00:08:35.480 They're not rock and rollers. They're not, well 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.000 they're not, they can play rock and roll, but 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.059 they're not like the way Daryl and the Enforcers 00:08:40.059 --> 00:08:43.159 are. Daryl and the Enforcers play rockabilly 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.600 full -time with that rockabilly double bass sound 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.919 and that great thumping sound. That's what I 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.919 wanted for the album. I've worked all these years 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.980 with the Wildcats and it was time for just a 00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:58.059 little bit of a change, you know, and I will 00:08:58.059 --> 00:09:01.059 retain the Wildcats. They've been my dear friends 00:09:01.059 --> 00:09:04.460 for 40 years, so I'm not going to drop them, 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.299 but also it's lovely to work with someone else, 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.299 you know, and Daryl and Tony and Adam of the 00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:14.159 Enforcers are three wonderful people, and I get 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.899 on great with them, so it's lovely. And there's 00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:19.850 a wonderful video. goes with the uh with the 00:09:19.850 --> 00:09:22.990 uh single uh let's rock this place uh who's sort 00:09:22.990 --> 00:09:25.330 of i don't know if uh but it's not quite choreographer 00:09:25.330 --> 00:09:27.570 is it who devised who came up with the idea of 00:09:27.570 --> 00:09:29.389 the video what actually happens in it with the 00:09:29.389 --> 00:09:31.889 girls and doing what they do and the actual moves 00:09:31.889 --> 00:09:34.289 was it just you guys all being yourself or was 00:09:34.289 --> 00:09:36.889 there some planning there No, there was planning 00:09:36.889 --> 00:09:40.889 in there. I wanted the video to start off with 00:09:40.889 --> 00:09:44.370 Daryl's guitar, his Grèche guitar. So it's right 00:09:44.370 --> 00:09:47.990 in the front of the picture. And I thought that's 00:09:47.990 --> 00:09:51.549 what you'd need, that guitar, show it off. Because 00:09:51.549 --> 00:09:53.830 the Grèche guitar means a lot to the Rockabilly 00:09:53.830 --> 00:09:57.830 people and to me. I've got a Grèche myself. It's 00:09:57.830 --> 00:10:00.990 a fantastic guitar. And it's just to remind us 00:10:00.990 --> 00:10:04.210 of those wonderful years. I mean, Eddie Cochran. 00:10:04.409 --> 00:10:06.990 always had a Gresh that was his that was his 00:10:06.990 --> 00:10:11.289 calling card and um you know it's just this whole 00:10:11.289 --> 00:10:14.950 album really is like a rallying call for wake 00:10:14.950 --> 00:10:17.090 up you know to some of these people because we've 00:10:17.090 --> 00:10:21.210 all got in steeped steeped in this sort of very 00:10:21.210 --> 00:10:24.490 very boring but not all of it some of it really 00:10:24.490 --> 00:10:28.210 boring American music and I'm sorry but that's 00:10:28.210 --> 00:10:32.399 how I feel and I think that it's about time You 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.700 know, I made the move and I'm so glad I did. 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.480 When I go on stage, I shall be with the Wildcats. 00:10:38.700 --> 00:10:41.159 That will be a slightly different thing. And 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:44.659 I will love that and enjoy that as well. But 00:10:44.659 --> 00:10:47.480 I will also do some rockabilly dates at some 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:51.840 point with Daryl, hopefully. So, yeah, it's just 00:10:51.840 --> 00:11:04.279 a nice thing to do. And Tutu present a radio 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:12.320 show So here's Nick and Sue Your musical duo 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:16.039 This is Nick and Sue with Chatterbox Giving you 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.500 all you need to know about musical entertainment 00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:25.700 Chatterbox Chatterbox Chatterbox Shadowbox, shadowbox, 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.679 shadowbox, shadowbox.

I mean is it mainly the oldies 00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:46.559 or can we expect a couple of songs or at least 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.379 a single for this new album when we come and 00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:52.549 see you this year?

I mean, whatever happens, I 00:11:59.309 --> 00:12:02.070 mean, my show will be basically the same. It's 00:12:02.070 --> 00:12:05.649 all nostalgia.

And thankfully, 00:12:10.909 --> 00:12:12.690 this is one of those lovely things which I've 00:12:12.690 --> 00:12:15.769 got. I don't take myself too seriously. And I 00:12:15.769 --> 00:12:18.529 really adore what I do. So whether I'm with, 00:12:18.629 --> 00:12:20.789 you know, with the Wildcats or Daryl, whoever, 00:12:21.330 --> 00:12:25.850 it's just an absolute joy. And I do love, I love 00:12:25.850 --> 00:12:28.870 to, because I think there's so much poppycock, 00:12:28.870 --> 00:12:30.730 you know, that goes on with show business, you 00:12:30.730 --> 00:12:35.029 know, that people that become sort of untouchable. 00:12:35.289 --> 00:12:37.490 Well, they're not, mate. They're not. They're 00:12:37.490 --> 00:12:39.950 as ordinary as you and I. And they're just damn 00:12:39.950 --> 00:12:42.690 lucky to be where they are, like I was, because 00:12:42.690 --> 00:12:45.750 you need a phenomenal amount of luck. Forget 00:12:45.750 --> 00:12:48.279 all the talent. there were talented people all 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:51.059 around me, far talented than me, I can assure 00:12:51.059 --> 00:12:54.740 you, many of them, but they didn't have the brakes, 00:12:54.980 --> 00:12:56.740 they didn't have the aptitude, they didn't have 00:12:56.740 --> 00:13:02.179 the thing in their head, you know, and also just 00:13:02.179 --> 00:13:05.039 unlucky, you know, I was a very lucky man, very 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.460 lucky. Now we've got some great... Some great 00:13:09.460 --> 00:13:12.340 places you're visiting, you know, some great 00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:14.620 venues that I know well. I mentioned East Richard's 00:13:14.620 --> 00:13:17.539 a few times because that's close to us, the Czechomede, 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.600 20th September. But also another great theatre 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.100 here, 26th September, St George's Theatre, Great 00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:27.379 Yarmouth. But let's bring it the other way round. 00:13:28.580 --> 00:13:32.120 So this will go out, the Hellenion Thames would 00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.600 already have gone. You've got the 18th of April, 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.330 Epstein Theatre, Liverpool. uh you then you go 00:13:39.330 --> 00:13:41.870 to hunstanton in may we've got the tivoli of 00:13:41.870 --> 00:13:44.049 windborne a very popular little venue that one 00:13:44.049 --> 00:13:47.590 in 11th of june uh if you're honest but one that's 00:13:47.590 --> 00:13:50.529 standing jumping out here at me is the tower 00:13:50.529 --> 00:13:53.590 ballroom in blackpool what a great venue what 00:13:53.590 --> 00:13:57.769 an amazing venue yeah i mean i can't i know i 00:13:57.769 --> 00:13:59.850 must have been there at some point in my life 00:13:59.850 --> 00:14:02.409 i must have been there but yeah i'm looking forward 00:14:02.409 --> 00:14:05.110 to that it's a rock and roll thing so That would 00:14:05.110 --> 00:14:07.350 be very, very interesting to see what happens 00:14:07.350 --> 00:14:12.690 there. The only thing that I worry about is my 00:14:12.690 --> 00:14:15.750 voice. You know, my age traveling now. Traveling 00:14:15.750 --> 00:14:19.850 does, you know, get me down a little bit. I adore 00:14:19.850 --> 00:14:23.450 driving, so that's one phenomenal bonus. But, 00:14:23.529 --> 00:14:25.889 you know, like a four hour drive now and then 00:14:25.889 --> 00:14:29.789 do a show and four hour back to home again is 00:14:29.789 --> 00:14:33.919 for a guy who's 87 is pretty tough. It can be, 00:14:33.940 --> 00:14:36.740 put it that way, it can be. So I have to watch 00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:38.879 out for my voice. My voice is not as strong as 00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:41.399 it was. It can't be the same as it was because 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.279 I'm not a young man anymore. But it gets by and 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.879 as long as I can keep it flowing, that's the 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:55.980 main thing. You know how your voice range was 00:14:55.980 --> 00:14:58.080 to yourself. I mean, we know how it has been 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.500 on records and I can tell you even as recently 00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:02.340 as two years ago, you were belting them out in 00:15:02.340 --> 00:15:04.279 East Greenwich. Yes, definitely. You know, we 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:06.799 were up up the front and we could actually, you 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:08.519 were belting them out. You weren't really needing 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:10.759 that mic or anything. You were still okay. So 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.980 to us, you've got it. But you know how your voice 00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:16.340 range has changed to yourself. And when you were 00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:18.159 singing away, when we first joined you today, 00:15:18.419 --> 00:15:20.419 you know how the voice range is. But to us, it's 00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:23.200 still perfect. belt it so you know that's to 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:27.779 us. Well yeah I've lost about a tone I mean most 00:15:27.779 --> 00:15:30.139 of my songs Jezebel are singing the same key 00:15:30.139 --> 00:15:32.860 that I recorded originally the only song that 00:15:32.860 --> 00:15:35.759 ever gets me sometimes I have to watch out with 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.299 Jezamine which I wrote and Jezamine sometimes 00:15:39.299 --> 00:15:43.659 the original key that I used to do it and I have 00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:46.100 to take it down I have had to take it down about 00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:49.399 a tone and Sea of Love sometimes catches me. 00:15:49.370 --> 00:15:51.409 I have to be careful with that track because 00:15:51.409 --> 00:15:55.269 it's just a, you know, it's just, your voice, 00:15:55.309 --> 00:15:57.470 you know, you can't, you know, your voice, it's 00:15:57.470 --> 00:16:00.129 just like all things, you know, it's just nature's 00:16:00.129 --> 00:16:03.409 way really and I accept that and I get around 00:16:03.409 --> 00:16:07.450 it. I get around it. Possibly. I mean, we've 00:16:07.450 --> 00:16:10.889 obviously heard you sing, seen you sing, Jesumaine. 00:16:13.370 --> 00:16:15.809 You mentioned the Welsh group who did it originally, 00:16:15.889 --> 00:16:19.049 and I know you really like that version. I think 00:16:19.049 --> 00:16:21.289 possibly, in my mind, you would probably see 00:16:21.289 --> 00:16:22.769 it more like the original, which I have heard 00:16:22.769 --> 00:16:26.429 now, rather than the casuals. They were very 00:16:26.429 --> 00:16:28.610 high, weren't they? But whatever, Marty, it's 00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:32.409 the most beautiful song. That's an incredible 00:16:32.409 --> 00:16:35.399 creation there. Beautiful song, amazing song, 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.720 yeah. And the little dance moves that Marty does 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.240 when he's on stage. Yeah, it's perfect. Well, 00:16:40.259 --> 00:16:42.480 he's had quite a few years to perfect it, really. 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:48.240 He's had a few. My Biden impression was the best, 00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:51.100 though. The way you walked on when you did it, 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.679 it was brilliant. It really was, yeah. Yeah, 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:56.820 that was the start to our part two, wasn't it? 00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.960 Yeah. Obviously, we've got another, as I mentioned, 00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:02.539 it's your birthday. The fact you share your birthday 00:17:02.539 --> 00:17:05.539 with Marty my son although he wasn't well he's 00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:09.960 only 18 but so we wish you a happy birthday 15th 00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:12.180 of April Marty this be going out about that time 00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:16.559 so happy birthday for them of course thank you 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.259 ask Marty something else when I was in full flow 00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:22.200 you'd and then that was it you asked the question 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:27.539 I asked the question okay now the album I probably 00:17:27.539 --> 00:17:32.059 lost it now did have it already here we go uh 00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:33.920 because i've got a date now the single is already 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.400 out uh let's rock this place uh cover picture 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.019 it's a wonderful cover i love that i love that 00:17:40.019 --> 00:17:43.519 cover so 1950s was the idea absolutely brilliant 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:47.299 uh and the album of the same name i've got that 00:17:47.299 --> 00:17:52.200 being released here on the 17th of april 2026 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.680 uh being uh released by the amazing cherry red 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.380 records and they're an incredible yeah incredible 00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:03.359 they are they're wonderful wonderful company 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.519 to work for yeah so that says to me i'm going 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:08.559 to have a guess here being cherry red that there's 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.599 going to be vinyl and all sorts i guess for this 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.240 yeah there is there's vinyl the i've just got 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:17.759 the vinyl now and um got the vinyl behind me 00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:20.859 uh just come in and the cds have just come in 00:18:20.890 --> 00:18:23.630 and they will be going out, obviously, around 00:18:23.630 --> 00:18:27.509 the country, the album. Well, the vinyl will 00:18:27.509 --> 00:18:31.529 be limited. It's a limited edition, but it looks 00:18:31.529 --> 00:18:35.109 pretty good. I just keep my fingers crossed that 00:18:35.109 --> 00:18:38.430 the people enjoy the music inside because we 00:18:38.430 --> 00:18:43.549 tried, as I say, for one whole year, three wonderful 00:18:43.549 --> 00:18:46.710 musicians, rockabilly boys and an old man got 00:18:46.710 --> 00:18:49.650 together and really tried to bring something 00:18:49.869 --> 00:18:54.609 back to people to sort of restart the old engine 00:18:54.609 --> 00:18:58.349 again, get their memories going. People are forgetting 00:18:58.349 --> 00:19:02.329 just how fantastic that time was. The rhythms, 00:19:02.750 --> 00:19:06.009 the time, all those songs coming out. Now we 00:19:06.009 --> 00:19:09.589 have to listen to whatever's coming out, obviously, 00:19:09.650 --> 00:19:12.869 because that takes up for youngsters, they want 00:19:12.869 --> 00:19:16.690 their own music. But I think also we should try 00:19:16.690 --> 00:19:19.769 and get our foot in the door sometimes. And that's 00:19:19.769 --> 00:19:23.450 what we're trying to do.

Of course, that includes your 50s stuff, 00:19:44.269 --> 00:19:46.910 includes Kim's stuff in the 80s as a songwriter 00:19:46.910 --> 00:19:49.799 and other stuff that you've done.

I just hope 00:20:32.259 --> 00:20:35.079 people really enjoy it because we did. We've 00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:38.259 had an absolute ball making the record. It was 00:20:38.259 --> 00:20:41.519 the most fantastic, joyous feeling. And if that 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:43.880 comes across to people, then I'm going to have 00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:46.240 a good album out there. Brilliant.
