Speaker 3: Hi, good morning, Yes, nice to be back talking to you. Yeah.

Speaker 2: Indeed, how many runners have you got participating this year?

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 3: We've got a total of three hundred and twenty two

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: runners over the two days. We've got fifty one guys

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: doing the Ultra marathon which is this morning, which is

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: fifty six kilometers, and then we've got two hundred and

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: seventy one runners and walkers doing the twenty one k

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: which is tomorrow.

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: And who's got the most impressive time out of I

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: mean everything's an impressive time to me because I've never

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: done a marathon. But you who are we looking at

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: for the smart and area? Is this year.

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we won our usual few guys, a guy called

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: Clive Fredericks, who should be near the front of the

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 3: fifty six k, and a youngster called Brendon Kinnemeyer, who

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 3: if he has a really good Runny or pets get

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 3: a silver medal. So yeah, we're looking forward to some

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: good performances. But our club is all about participating more

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: than you know, getting the top results. We're a community

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: club and that's what we aim at.

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: When it comes to who's going to get their foot

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: over the line first this year. Any ideas from the

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: women's and men's races.

34
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: Well, I think the women's race you have had is

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: saying who's in great form at the moment, and I

36
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: think she'll be very, very hard to beat. There are

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 3: a few others who can challenger. I see a Vet

38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: fron Sale is back. She didn't do last year's race,

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: and she is over all the second fastest over the route,

40
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: so she could also challenge today. In the men's side,

41
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: you've got anybody out of maybe fifteen guys who could

42
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: win the race today. Personally, I like the look of

43
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 3: Lloyd Bosman, who's from the Cape. I think he will

44
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 3: do very well and previous when on a lele kN Kobe.

45
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: He's a love the way he races. He takes it

46
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 3: out hard, he puts it all out there. So yeah,

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: maybe one of those two guys will pull it off

48
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 3: this morning if.

49
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: Anyone wants to get a a goodvantage point this morning

50
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: for the marathon and of course tomorrow for the half marathon.

51
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: Where's your pick of the places to go, Derek.

52
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think today the Ultra they've already gone

53
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: quite a long way along the route. I would go

54
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: anyway along a roads drive if you can access it

55
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: from the suburbs. It's always very exciting. There's always lots

56
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: of crowds. If you manage to be near a seconding table,

57
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: that's a big, big vibe, lots of music, really nice.

58
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would aim anything in roads drive or

59
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: towards the finish. I'm currently about a kilometer from the

60
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: finish where Olympic Spartan harriers have their set up for

61
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: all our runners, and yeah, we're looking forward to welcoming

62
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: all the runners in the next hour or so.

63
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: And then just finally, Derek, if somebody is listening in

64
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: and they're like, oh, you know what, I wouldn't mind

65
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: doing this next year, but I wouldn't mind a little

66
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: bit of support. Can they come and see you join

67
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: the club? How fit does one need to.

68
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: Be they can join Olympic Spartan Harriers. We start with

69
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: the beginner's program that always starts the beginning of spring,

70
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: and then from January we have programs to take complete

71
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: novices to either their first twenty one k or maybe

72
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: someone who's been running a year or two and is

73
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: looking at the alter race to do. We have programs

74
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: for them. And everybody is catered for, from the faster

75
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 3: guys and girls to those who are not so fast

76
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: but just want to actually get a finish and get

77
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: one of those well earned medals.

78
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: You know what, Darin, I've been saying for about twenty years.

79
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: I might have said this to you last year as well.

80
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 4: I think. Yeah.

81
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 2: I grew up in the UK and I went to

82
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: Greenwich University and my res was right along the route

83
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: that the under marathon route, and every year of my

84
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: three years there I swore that I was going to

85
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: do a marathon at some point, I'm afraid I left

86
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: university with a degree but without a medal, and then

87
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: the kind of didn't and then got into running last

88
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: year and as they got into running, I'm a slow

89
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: Let's take it slow, let's enjoy it. I'm not you know,

90
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: I'm not going to give head any a run for

91
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: a money at all. Realistically, as somebody who maybe runs

92
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: three times a week in a very relaxed way, how

93
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 2: long would I need under the watchful eye of Derek

94
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: Marches to get ready to get marathon ready?

95
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: Do you think to get marathon ready you should give

96
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: yourself two years? So if you were aiming to do

97
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 3: this next year a marathon or the Ultra, you would

98
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: need to start training now. The fact that you're doing

99
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: three k three times a week already is fantastic. Obviously,

100
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: we try and encourage our guys and girls to run

101
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: closer to four times a week, but we start off

102
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: very slow, and we even we also have a walking

103
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: section where people are tomorrow they're actually going to walk

104
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: the twenty one kilometer, which so everybody is catered for

105
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: and everybody has a good time, good vibe, vibe, you

106
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: get a lovely middle afterwards and a huge sent of achievement.

107
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure. I'm sure. One day, Derek, one day is

108
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: one day is one day Derek.

Speaker 2: seeing at Company's garden today and tomorrow.

126
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 4: Starting at the bottom. There is food trucks. There is

127
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: probably twenty art light activations. There's interactivity, there's projection onto

128
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 4: both the main buildings. There's eco museum and gallery. There's

129
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: something called the Halo Chamber, which is a beautiful led stretch.

130
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 4: You can go and interact with. There's mobius again, a

131
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: lighting insulation you can interact with. There's all kinds of beautiful,

132
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 4: different forms of art, super family friendly, it's safe and

133
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: it's beautiful.

134
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: Where did this idea come from? Where did luminosity come from?

135
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: I feel like, have I seen this before in South Africa?

136
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: Not this style in South Africa. I hear the British accent.

137
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: So I'm sure you've been to Alight Festival overseas.

138
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: Not in the UK anywhere in Singapore.

139
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 4: Oh wow, okay, and I get I'm sure it was

140
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: mind blowing.

141
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: Literally mind blowing. It was extraordinary.

142
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: So the gay sorry, the idea is to build something

143
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 4: like that in South Africa, Cape Town and in joe Burg.

144
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 4: So this is the first one. We started Thursday, Friday

145
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: obviously tonight and then Sunday.

146
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: Talk to us about the logistics of putting on an

147
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: installation like this.

148
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: It must be an event, yeah, yeah, certainly so. I

149
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 4: come from a large events background. I designed and produce

150
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 4: very large shows, stadium shows, being a waterfront New Year's Eve,

151
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: I'm doing big shows. Yeah, But I've never been the

152
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 4: actual organizer, So my learning curve has kind of been vertical.

153
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 4: On this, dealing with the city, dealing with booking venues,

154
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 4: dealing with the p R, dealing with ticketing and all

155
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 4: this other. So I've had to learn quite a lot, sure,

156
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: but it's been fun. I've really really enjoyed it. It's

157
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: been fifteen years in my head. Yeah, fifteen years. We

158
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 4: worked out the other day, my goodness.

159
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: Me and the opening night as it were, or first

160
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: night was when? Or is that tonight?

161
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: No? No, So the opening night was on Thursday. I

162
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: did a soft launch on Wednesday for media, cool kids,

163
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 4: influencers and such.

164
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: Interesting Gareth, because my invitation must have got lost in

165
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 2: the post there.

166
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: You must speak to your people.

167
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: I will speak to my people. I will speak to

168
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: my people. I will listen. And on Wednesday with the

169
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 2: soft launch, and when the buttons went click, and when

170
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: the sun went down, the buttons went click. How did

171
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: you feel about it?

172
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 4: It was a bit surreal, to be honest, lived in

173
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 4: your head for that long. Yeah, and you've been living

174
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: and breathing something. And then at one point I walked

175
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 4: through the venue. I was like, okay, guys, I need

176
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 4: twenty ten minutes and I got the tingles. I walked

177
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 4: around as a guest and I was like, I think

178
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 4: I've built something here and the artists have been mind blowing.

179
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 4: The partners that have jumped on and go, Gareth, We've

180
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: got it. Come let's go do and have some fun.

181
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: It's been mind blowing, amazing.

182
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm very proud we as South Africans. Well

183
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 4: I'm proxy South African, but we are able to do

184
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 4: world class events. We really are. We don't need to

185
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 4: import the talent We've got it here. Yeah, agreed, only

186
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: South African artists. That's my rule.

187
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: Fantastic. Listen, just before I let you go, two things.

188
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 2: First of all, parking because that's always a bit of

189
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: an issue for people. I mean, ideally people are ubering

190
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: in and doing that kind of thing, but I won't

191
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: be because I've got eight million children to bring with

192
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: so how.

193
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: Super family friendly. That's one thing I was very important on.

194
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 4: Security is very tight, so I've got the top section

195
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 4: of the gardens under hard lockdown, so once you're in,

196
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 4: you are safe. I'm actually very proud of the statistics

197
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 4: that we have. But so parking, you can google or

198
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 4: ways Luminosity parking and it will bring you to the

199
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: top of Hatfield Street and you can park on the

200
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 4: school field and then once you're in, then you're you're

201
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 4: kind of under my control as or under my safety.

202
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 4: So I should say you're under my safety. There we go.

203
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 4: So the whole of that is secure parking. Or you

204
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 4: can uber in if you just apparently if you type

205
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 4: an uber and then need to type in luminosity. I thought,

206
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 4: hard to get an uber pin. So that's a good

207
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: safe drop off. I wanted people to be able to

208
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 4: arrive and go safely. I'm really trying to get kind

209
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 4: of people into town, excited to be in town and safely.

210
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. Am I right in thinking that

211
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: friendly dogs are and also allowed?

212
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 4: Somebody replied, oh they found me, yester. They're like, we

213
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: loved your email back to us. I said, friendly dogs

214
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 4: on leads with Pooh bags and a friendly owner. That

215
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 4: was my per That was my rule.

216
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: Tick tick and tick. Okay, that is good. That's good.

217
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: And tickets we get those where Karren cricket. All right, folks,

218
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: get yourself to cook. I can't wait. I can't wait

219
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 2: to come and see this. My kids.

220
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 4: No, I will, they will, they they will.

221
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: My kids are three and six so and are amazed

222
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: by an awful lot. This is right up there. Alle.

223
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: They're going to be talking about this for the next

224
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 2: two years.

225
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 4: What I found that is the younger families and do

226
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 4: what I recommend to everybody is come early, so doors

227
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 4: are at five day because then you see the place

228
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 4: in the daylight, so then you kind of get your bearings.

229
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: Come and eat. The dude there is amazing. I might

230
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: have been selfish and handpicked all of the food vendors,

231
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 4: all the good stuff I like. And then the amount

232
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 4: of families is, Oh, it's beautiful. Something magic in the

233
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 4: air there, and the guests are lovely. All the vendors

234
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: and the bar came up to me, Gareth, your crowd

235
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 4: is amazing and they're so nice.

236
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 2: Oh well, we'll wait till the macula's come through and

237
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: then we'll see if that if that holds true in

238
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: our numbers, Garreth. Lovely to have you with the congratulations

00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: in my hood at three pm, Oh come on, now,

247
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: I've got another thing to go to the story of

248
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: Vivaldi's Four Seasons is happening at christ Church Constantia.

249
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 4: Now.

250
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 2: Then my parents, who are big classical music lovers, and

251
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: that was the music that I grew up listening to

252
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: in my house. Classic FM was on in our house

253
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven. But officially I was introduced to

254
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: classical music in a kind of the taught version or

255
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: the let's sit down and listen to some music class

256
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: at school, and we were introduced to classical music via

257
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: Valdi's Four Seasons. And to this day it still makes

258
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: me cry when I hear it. So actually I don't

259
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: know if I will go through to christ Church Constantia tomorrow,

260
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: although maybe maybe it's good. It's good to have a

261
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: little cry. Pitt to bierb is on the phone with

262
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: this morning Violinistic. Good to have you with this good morning.

263
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: Good morning. Did you hear me?

264
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, perfectly. You form part of the World Cafe trio

265
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: and you are bringing a fresh interpretation of the Valdi's

266
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: masterpiece to us in the Southern suburbs tomorrow.

267
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we are doing it like Vivaldi uh intended

268
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: it with a violent accordion and electric double bass. You know,

269
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: it's all that stock stocks. Start the show. You spoke

270
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: about crying about the Bibaldi. I assure you you'll be

271
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: rolling in the aisles. We are extremely funny and entertaining. Yes, yes,

272
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: and and we we tell the story with with jokes

273
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: and some info about music, and start reads the poems

274
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: that were accompanies the music, the sonnets, the four Sonnets,

275
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: and and then I speak about the more in layman's

276
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: terms about the music. And then you know we've created

277
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: the new sonic world basically with it sounds like an

278
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: orchestra with violin, but it's just three people. And yes,

279
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: and and it's sort of a rock and roll concert

280
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: because we encourage the people to clap whenever don't want

281
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: great and you know that's it's a relaxed atmosphere. We

282
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: don't want any difference between the audience and the performers.

283
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: So it's a very intimate concept and suitable for any age.

284
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: It's good. I was going to ask, is it family

285
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: friendly because I would love to introduce my kids, you know,

286
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: love it. Yeah, no, I remember, in fact, I can

287
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: actually remember the room that I was in in my

288
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: in my in my school, which was really like a

289
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: very very old school in the UK, and I was

290
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: sitting on the stone floor getting a cold bum while

291
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: my teacher probably on a might have been on a

292
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: record player or on a cassette tape said and sit down,

293
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: class and this and explain to us for eld these

294
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: four seasons. And I remember just thinking, wow, and I

295
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: would love to introduce my kids two similar Why did

296
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: you decide on this particular composition?

297
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: It is it is a masterpiece that is easily accessible

298
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: by the way we've we've we've arranged it and recreated

299
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: it basically for we can take it to bars, saloons,

300
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: little rooms of concerts, in schools, and it's just my

301
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: passion because I'm very well, I'm in love with my

302
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: violin and it's it's beautiful music. You know, it's for

303
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: contractors for the violin. But the music is so timeless

304
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: that we decided to like make it into an entity

305
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: where we can present it to people all over the

306
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: place and that they don't have to like listen to

307
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: a cassette tape or an old record or or you know,

308
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: once when they've got enough money to go to town

309
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: and listen to it somewhere with the orchestra. Because these

310
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: things are expensive. So we've we've created a version wherey
