just lucky enough to welcome Robert Reynolds

00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:44.019
from Lake. Welcome, how are you sir? I'm fine

00:01:44.019 --> 00:01:46.140
thanks, how are you? Yeah, I'm great thank you.

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.140
Now, Lake, they've been around since what 1973

00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:50.959
or something, something a long time, a long way

00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.879
back, but you don't look anywhere old enough

00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:58.099
for that. So, I imagine you've joined this sort

00:01:58.099 --> 00:02:00.200
of latest time around, perhaps we'll talk a little

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.000
bit about Lake's history in a bit. So, but let's

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.000
talk about you as a musician and what got you

00:02:06.669 --> 00:02:12.030
To join like? Well, I had a number of years doing

00:02:12.030 --> 00:02:14.169
my own stuff, had a few albums out and stuff

00:02:14.169 --> 00:02:17.830
like that. And then I got a phone call from Detlef,

00:02:17.909 --> 00:02:20.689
who's the main writer and producer out of the

00:02:20.689 --> 00:02:23.430
blue, actually. He was searching for a new singer,

00:02:23.490 --> 00:02:27.050
went to Glasgow, ended up going into a studio

00:02:27.050 --> 00:02:28.889
where I had a friend and he was saying, oh, why

00:02:28.889 --> 00:02:31.370
don't you try this singer out? And that's that's

00:02:31.370 --> 00:02:33.250
how I met them, actually. So he gave me a ring,

00:02:33.409 --> 00:02:36.080
went over to meet him. We got on well. Started

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.900
working straight away, really. Were you aware

00:02:38.900 --> 00:02:44.000
of Lake beforehand? I think, I'm not sure. When

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.599
I heard On The Run, I recognised that song. Yeah.

00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:50.539
So I'm pretty sure, and I know they did the whistle

00:02:50.539 --> 00:02:54.060
test, and I watch the whistle test a lot. So

00:02:54.060 --> 00:02:56.280
I think I might have heard the song. I didn't

00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.659
know much about the band, though. No, I was kind

00:02:58.659 --> 00:03:00.780
of, and it might have been whistle test, I was

00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:06.659
kind of aware of Lake in the 70s. I was kind

00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:08.319
of awareness that must be whistle test or something

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.539
because they haven't actually had UK hits as

00:03:11.539 --> 00:03:13.939
such But yeah, I was aware of them. So there

00:03:13.939 --> 00:03:16.000
must be quite extensive airplane There must be

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.740
some tours and of course even back in the 70s

00:03:18.740 --> 00:03:21.000
and was a British member major British member,

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:26.020
of course So yeah little things like that I mean,

00:03:26.180 --> 00:03:28.500
I think of facts that should be said just to

00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:30.000
get people keep people interested because there

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.639
was the 1977 US sure quite a big tour and we

00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.199
just also uh remember course they were supporting

00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:41.099
the lineup then were supporting then at skinnered

00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:43.719
yeah they were in a major fact in fact it was

00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.960
a was it almost a buddy holly moment as a toss

00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:48.719
of the coin and who went in that plane and who

00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.680
went by other ways and uh like yeah lost the

00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.580
toss but they they won in the long run because

00:03:54.580 --> 00:03:58.060
of course the plane crashed as we know what a

00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:00.710
story Yeah, they would they were gonna get on

00:04:00.710 --> 00:04:03.090
that flight and I don't know what happened but

00:04:03.090 --> 00:04:05.490
they ended up sort of like going Afterwards,

00:04:06.009 --> 00:04:08.229
but yeah, very very lucky. I mean it was tragic

00:04:08.229 --> 00:04:10.750
really wasn't it? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.159
So yeah, that that's quite something and also

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.019
obviously back in the days because it was a lake

00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:18.939
where hamburg based of course back certainly

00:04:18.939 --> 00:04:23.079
back then I mean obviously In these days you

00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.120
could be based anywhere can't you because yeah,

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.600
it's like we are now. Um, but I do understand

00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:32.319
the uh band of the year west germany 1977 or

00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.500
something along those lines, but of course with

00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:36.319
supporting lennard skinner. I mean, that's pretty

00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.319
good in there. I mean they do yeah, yeah They

00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.120
did a lot of supports, I can't remember off the

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.939
head, but it was with a lot of big -named acts

00:04:42.939 --> 00:04:47.360
actually at the time. And I see albums, Lake

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:55.259
1976, Lake 2 1978 and Paradise 1979. There we

00:04:55.259 --> 00:04:57.800
go and quite a lot of nice facts and feats there.

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.100
So tell us before we move on to the present,

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.220
well we are moving on to the present day, because

00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:07.600
how many original members are currently with

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.850
Lake, is it two? Is that right? Well, there's

00:05:10.850 --> 00:05:14.430
Detlef Peterson, who's the... He was the main

00:05:14.430 --> 00:05:17.089
writer and main producer. There's Martin on bass,

00:05:17.209 --> 00:05:20.649
who's the original bass player. Ian... I mean,

00:05:20.870 --> 00:05:23.930
Alex Conte on guitar, who's the original guitarist.

00:05:24.529 --> 00:05:27.529
We've even got Ian Cusack, who's the original,

00:05:27.529 --> 00:05:31.029
original singer. He's actually singing two tracks

00:05:31.029 --> 00:05:34.579
on the album. Um, I'm a sailor which is I think

00:05:34.579 --> 00:05:36.079
I'm not sure if that's the current single at

00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:40.360
the moment and another song. Um, so there's uh,

00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:45.439
yeah, uh, ian martin Detlef alex and then there's

00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.439
me who's the newest one i've been in seven years

00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.660
He's the new boy on seven years. Yeah Oh, I am

00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:57.709
the youngest at 58 as well, which is crazy We're

00:05:57.709 --> 00:05:59.550
the same age. I thought we were, yeah. I knew

00:05:59.550 --> 00:06:01.470
we were out there. Yeah, we had to be. Okay,

00:06:01.629 --> 00:06:04.370
so when it got to starting to record together,

00:06:04.370 --> 00:06:07.050
I mean, who writes the songs? Do you all do a

00:06:07.050 --> 00:06:09.170
bit or how does it work out? Do you have an idea

00:06:09.170 --> 00:06:11.209
and send it to the others or what goes on with

00:06:11.209 --> 00:06:15.370
like? It's mostly Detlef. Mostly Detlef who writes

00:06:15.370 --> 00:06:18.370
the music and some of the lyrics and then he's

00:06:18.370 --> 00:06:21.790
got a guy who works with an American lyricist

00:06:21.790 --> 00:06:24.110
and then I co -wrote some and obviously because

00:06:24.110 --> 00:06:27.699
I'm the English speaking one, I I tidy up a lot

00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:30.180
of, if there's grammatical errors and stuff like

00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:32.699
that, I'll sort of clean it up a bit. It might

00:06:32.699 --> 00:06:36.319
be just moving an and or an if. Right, yeah.

00:06:36.939 --> 00:06:40.060
Or I co -wrote, like, No Regrets, I wrote the

00:06:40.060 --> 00:06:42.319
chorus, you know, so there's bits and pieces,

00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.360
but mostly Detlef wrote the music. Okay, and

00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.480
we got the new album called Four. Now, I've named

00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.639
three previous albums. Am I literally saying,

00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.879
is this literally the first album since Paradise

00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.980
Island? Is it really the fourth one? Or how did

00:06:57.980 --> 00:06:59.160
it get its name? Because there ain't four of

00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:00.319
you. There's a lot more than that. It's about

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.019
six of you. Yeah. I think it's because it's a

00:07:04.019 --> 00:07:07.139
new chapter, but kind of carrying on. Because...

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.699
When Adetlef left, I can't remember what year,

00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.180
and there was a few little iterations of it.

00:07:12.259 --> 00:07:15.060
Alex took out a lake band as well. But this is

00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:17.139
the first time it's like the proper lake together.

00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.019
So, I mean, barring me, obviously. So I think

00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:22.139
that's why the number fours come across. It's

00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:25.399
like they see it as a continuality. Oh, yeah.

00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.839
No, that's cool. If that's a word, continuality,

00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.560
I just don't know. That's fine. If it flows off

00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.680
the tongue, then it sounds realistic. Don't worry

00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.399
about it. It'd be the English Oxford. If it's

00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.500
not there now, I'll be there next year. We keep

00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:38.399
saying, between us we keep saying it, we keep

00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.839
playing the internet. It'll be there. If it's

00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:49.129
not there, it'll be there. Touring, I know you're

00:07:49.129 --> 00:07:52.269
aiming working on tours. There's nothing concrete

00:07:52.269 --> 00:07:54.470
yet. So maybe next time we chat, we'll talk about

00:07:54.470 --> 00:07:57.269
that. But you've been there seven years. So what

00:07:57.269 --> 00:07:59.709
have you done? I appreciate we've got lockdowns

00:07:59.709 --> 00:08:01.209
and things at the beginning. But what have you

00:08:01.209 --> 00:08:02.970
done in the way of tours after that? I mean,

00:08:02.970 --> 00:08:04.730
have you managed to get on the road, you guys?

00:08:05.269 --> 00:08:09.449
No, not at all. I mean, we started it and then

00:08:09.449 --> 00:08:11.430
COVID hit and then it was really hard to get

00:08:11.430 --> 00:08:14.430
over there and carry on. So there's been big

00:08:14.430 --> 00:08:18.399
gaps. The advantage of that is that we can live

00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.519
with the songs a bit longer than we would normally

00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.379
do so we can go back and go well that chorus

00:08:23.379 --> 00:08:25.360
didn't work or them lyrics didn't work or that

00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.819
melody doesn't quite work so we've had a lot

00:08:27.819 --> 00:08:30.980
of time to go back and do it so that's really

00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:33.740
how it's been I go over for a couple of weeks

00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:36.559
we worked on melodies lyrics and stuff like that

00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.179
then I come away he maybe put some bass down

00:08:39.179 --> 00:08:41.559
then I go back and then you know it's a bit like

00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.899
that So the seven years has been full but with

00:08:44.899 --> 00:08:48.659
a lot of gaps, if you see what I mean. I mean,

00:08:48.860 --> 00:08:51.340
what's the aim of Lake as a band? I mean, is

00:08:51.340 --> 00:08:55.279
it to Germany and Europe or are they hoping to

00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:59.299
get back to the USA or have that final big breakthrough

00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:02.320
in the UK? I mean, what's the initial aim, do

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:05.200
you think? I think the initial aim is to get

00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.779
an album that we all like out and hopefully the

00:09:09.779 --> 00:09:13.379
old fans will like it as well. Well, which is

00:09:13.379 --> 00:09:16.399
always hard when you swap singers. I understand

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:19.759
that. I think all of the above. I mean, you know,

00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:23.100
it's a different industry now than when even

00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:26.820
when I was signed in 93 with my solo deal. It's

00:09:26.820 --> 00:09:29.580
a totally different industry. So I don't I don't

00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:32.940
say I fully understand it. So if there's a demand,

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.139
then obviously we'll go wherever that that. that

00:09:36.139 --> 00:09:38.580
demand is. I mean, we all want a tour, that's

00:09:38.580 --> 00:09:43.559
for sure. It's just, you know, as I say, I'm

00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.519
going over on Tuesday, hopefully I'll know a

00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:47.840
little bit more about that. And around the album

00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:55.370
launch, I'll know a lot more. supporting the

00:09:55.370 --> 00:09:57.289
show means supporting the brands that keep the

00:09:57.289 --> 00:09:59.350
lights on and today I'm thrilled to talk about

00:09:59.350 --> 00:10:02.490
a personal favorite of mine old glory old glory

00:10:02.490 --> 00:10:05.190

00:10:05.190 --> 00:10:07.789

business founded back in 1969 now old glory and

I actually share a birth year and while I'll

00:10:13.929 --> 00:10:16.129
be the first to admit their vintage tees have

00:10:16.129 --> 00:10:18.929
aged a little more gracefully than I have that's

00:10:18.929 --> 00:10:22.830
exactly why I love them With over 300 ,000 officially

00:10:25.450 --> 00:10:27.909
generic prints. From the heavy hitters like the

Chatterbox! Shatterbox! Shatterbox! Shatterbox!

00:11:49.429 --> 00:11:51.929
Shatterbox! I think probably looking at the line

00:11:51.929 --> 00:11:55.409
-up, the way you got through, who is a first

00:11:55.409 --> 00:11:58.090
-time round member, we'll say. I mean, I'm sure

00:11:58.090 --> 00:12:02.509
the fans would be quite... There's a hell of

00:12:02.509 --> 00:12:06.629
a lot of you from the 70s in the group, so I'm

00:12:06.629 --> 00:12:10.419
sure you've still got them. I'm sure you have,

00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:13.159
but let's hope the album can break through in

00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.000
the UK. Let's hope that final thing, I mean the

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.700
UK album chart is now top 100, that's recognised

00:12:19.700 --> 00:12:22.480
as to have an album hit. So let's hope, you know,

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:25.059
that can be done on the back of a star over here

00:12:25.059 --> 00:12:27.769
or something. It's plausible. I mean, yeah, I

00:12:27.769 --> 00:12:30.210
hope so. I mean, I really, I really like the

00:12:30.210 --> 00:12:33.049
album. I think it's got some good songs. You

00:12:33.049 --> 00:12:34.750
know, I'm really proud of it. We're all proud

00:12:34.750 --> 00:12:37.169
of it. So, I mean, it's a look at a draw. You

00:12:37.169 --> 00:12:38.750
finish something, can you put it out into the

00:12:38.750 --> 00:12:41.389
world and then you just see what happens, you

00:12:41.389 --> 00:12:44.769
know? OK, so make sure I get this round the right

00:12:44.769 --> 00:12:47.830
way. Now, I've got a brand, brand new single,

00:12:47.830 --> 00:12:50.610
it looks like, Boy On A Mission. It's the first

00:12:50.610 --> 00:12:52.330
single from the album, actually. So we got that.

00:12:52.859 --> 00:12:56.220
That came out back in April, so it's been out

00:12:56.220 --> 00:13:00.100
on the 17th of April, I've got it here. Okay.

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.480
I think Wish I Was A Sailor was out now, and

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.799
that's Ian has lead vocals on that. I had heard

00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:07.899
of that song, so we've got two off the album.

00:13:08.779 --> 00:13:12.840
Are we aware of any other singles to come off

00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:14.659
the album? Because sometimes people bring out

00:13:14.659 --> 00:13:17.779
loads, so what's next? I think there might be

00:13:17.779 --> 00:13:20.320
a single comes out with the release of the album.

00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:23.139
So early June, I think there might be. I'm not

00:13:23.139 --> 00:13:25.539
sure which song it is. It could be Hey Sam, but

00:13:25.539 --> 00:13:28.879
I'm not 100 % sure. So yeah, I think that'll

00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.299
be it. And then that'll be, I think that'll be

00:13:31.299 --> 00:13:36.279
the album out. Are you surprised, perhaps, at

00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.340
the amount of interviews and interest you're

00:13:38.340 --> 00:13:42.440
getting now? I am in the UK actually, that's

00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.279
what I'm really surprised about. Obviously if

00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:46.820
there's German interviews, they're doing the

00:13:46.820 --> 00:13:49.039
German interviews. That's why I'm going over

00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.720
on Tuesday, there's a big TV, so I've got to

00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.580
go over for that. But I'm surprised how much

00:13:54.580 --> 00:13:58.720
interest there has been in the UK and that's

00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:00.759
really heartening to know really that people

00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:02.440
like, you know, because we've had really good

00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.169
feedback from the songs, so that's good. uh did

00:14:05.169 --> 00:14:07.669
hear you on uh did hear your interview on the

00:14:07.669 --> 00:14:09.669
chris james show on radio north sea international

00:14:09.669 --> 00:14:11.710
as well so uh you know we're aware that you're

00:14:11.710 --> 00:14:14.470
around anyway so we've actually heard you do

00:14:14.470 --> 00:14:17.029
an interview already on it so yeah so i mean

00:14:17.029 --> 00:14:19.129
i It's been a long time since I've done interviews

00:14:19.129 --> 00:14:21.990
because I've had my album, that's what I used

00:14:21.990 --> 00:14:24.830
to do all the time. But in them days, I used

00:14:24.830 --> 00:14:26.909
to go around with an acoustic guitar and go with

00:14:26.909 --> 00:14:30.049
everyone in person in the 90s. Now you don't

00:14:30.049 --> 00:14:32.690
have to leave your house, which is odd in a way,

00:14:32.690 --> 00:14:35.370
but probably easier, you know. Oh, well, you

00:14:35.370 --> 00:14:36.970
imagine doing all these interviews. Now I'm on

00:14:36.970 --> 00:14:38.629
the South Coast. So you imagine now you have

00:14:38.629 --> 00:14:40.330
to come down to Hastings and then the next day,

00:14:40.350 --> 00:14:42.529
I used to love that though. I used to love that.

00:14:42.610 --> 00:14:46.509
I love traveling around. You end up going to

00:14:46.509 --> 00:14:49.470
town. that you would not normally go to. That's

00:14:49.470 --> 00:14:51.429
what I always loved. You'd see something new

00:14:51.429 --> 00:14:54.009
all the time. It's great. I like Hedge Sticks.

00:14:54.269 --> 00:14:56.450
Great towns. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

00:14:56.850 --> 00:14:58.970
Great. A great music scene here. Very good music.

00:14:59.610 --> 00:15:01.750
Very arty. Yeah, I was going to say very good

00:15:01.750 --> 00:15:04.210
arty scene. And all across the board, I mean,

00:15:04.269 --> 00:15:07.570
so much so for a medium sized seaside town, it

00:15:07.570 --> 00:15:09.990
has two independent art house cinemas. What towns

00:15:09.990 --> 00:15:12.570
of under 100 ,000 population have that? Not many.

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:15.799
in Brighton's only got one, you know so it's

00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:19.440
been lucky and yeah all the uh all the Atlantic

00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.220
air pressures, warm currents come up uh come

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:24.919
up you see and this we get the paupers and the

00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.700
dolphins come up in the June and July and um

00:15:28.700 --> 00:15:31.659
first time ever known about two weeks ago bearing

00:15:31.659 --> 00:15:35.559
in mind it was only April still humpback whale

00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.919
off the coast at Hastings. Wow did you see it?

00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:43.460
No, no, on your Facebook and that. Wow. You know,

00:15:43.460 --> 00:15:46.559
you think that's good. Yeah. Is it a nice day

00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.659
today? It is. Yes. Well, at the studio window,

00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.539
the sunshine there and the trees are bright at

00:15:52.539 --> 00:15:54.519
the back on that side. So we have had some terrible

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.620
weather yesterday, but yeah. I've had torrential

00:15:57.620 --> 00:16:01.379
rain for all night and all day. It's only just

00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:04.019
stopped, actually. Well, you keep it. We're trying

00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:06.419
to send some of this up to you. All right. Yeah.

00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:10.200
Thank you. Yeah. uh harrogate harrogate isn't

00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.580
it so that's it's quite an interesting little

00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:15.500
little town yeah yeah i'm just outside of the

00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:18.879
country but well you've held your original song

00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.460
contest though i know that i remember yeah yeah

00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:25.379
When I was younger, actually, I used to do a

00:16:25.379 --> 00:16:28.279
lot of the get ins and get outs for the conference

00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:30.259
centre where all the gigs came. I remember doing

00:16:30.259 --> 00:16:33.039
the Russian Symphony Orchestra. I think Jason

00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:35.419
Donovan, when he first came out, I think I did

00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:37.659
the loading, you know, the PA and all that sort

00:16:37.659 --> 00:16:42.059
of stuff. Yeah, great days. Brilliant. So, hopefully,

00:16:42.299 --> 00:16:44.240
it looks like it's going to be a very busy summer

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.360
and autumn for you and the guys at Lake. Obviously,

00:16:48.460 --> 00:16:50.159
we're wishing you every success for that. Make

00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:52.159
sure I've got this right. So I did say four.

00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.559
Yeah, four is the title of the new album and

00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:57.799
I can't remember if you mentioned it or not.

00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.559
So what is the date for four coming out in the

00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:05.440
UK? I think it's June. I think it's early June,

00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:08.009
but I don't know the exact date. i think you

00:17:08.009 --> 00:17:10.670
see yeah i think it's early june so good enough

00:17:10.670 --> 00:17:13.589
that's good enough that's good enough okay so

00:17:13.589 --> 00:17:15.849
i wish you every success with the singles we've

00:17:15.849 --> 00:17:17.910
talked about and the album and the next single

00:17:17.910 --> 00:17:21.670
and uh the tour when it comes and um let's do

00:17:21.670 --> 00:17:25.630
some social media so we have got a website of

00:17:25.630 --> 00:17:31.509
www dot obviously uh lake dash as i call it band

00:17:31.509 --> 00:17:39.460

00:17:39.460 --> 00:17:44.099
nice monochrome picture of you all and we scroll

down to see all your previous albums but what

00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:51.519
I'm really looking for here is and in the bottom

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:54.920
right hand corner we got your other links to

00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:56.900
Instagram and Facebook so rather than have to

00:17:56.900 --> 00:17:59.039
read it all out all someone's got to do is go

00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:01.279
to your website and then click on either one

00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:04.430
of them at the bottom they can funny on facebook

00:18:04.430 --> 00:18:06.509

00:18:06.509 --> 00:18:08.690
it's coming out on vinyl as well which is always

00:18:08.690 --> 00:18:11.849
nice so yeah i said it many times i'm going to

00:18:11.849 --> 00:18:15.269
say it again there is nothing better apart from

00:18:15.269 --> 00:18:18.589
opening a jar of coffee nothing better than smelling

00:18:18.589 --> 00:18:22.309
new vinyl is there yeah yeah it's so nice isn't

00:18:22.309 --> 00:18:25.980

00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.299
every success, it's been great meeting you and

00:18:32.299 --> 00:18:35.160

00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:36.759
artist by yourself as well when you're not doing

00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:38.940
like but it sounds like you've got a busy time

00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:42.259
coming up. Oh I found it, we do have a release

00:18:42.259 --> 00:18:46.900
date of June the 5th. Brilliant. And I'll tell

00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:48.440
you where I've got that from. I've got that off

00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:50.940
