So last week I was sat 27 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: in Canada and this week, well back in the UK. 28 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: I've got to tell you as a little bit wetter. 29 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: In fact, we had some storm warnings here and we've 30 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: had a storm and it provoked a little bit of 31 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: thought from me about storms. And so if you're having 32 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: bad weather, it's experiencing something a little bit out of 33 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: the norm.

Missed at one point, but there you go. 37 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: That's because I'm a polite young man. But basically what 38 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is if you know you've got 39 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: bad weather coming, keeping on social media, keeping on the news, 40 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: keeping on each other, and make sure you've got what 41 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: you need to get you through a scrape about that, 42 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: then there you go.

There 45 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: we go. Okay, today I have a very special friend 46 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: of mine that is going to be interviewed with me. 47 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: He's he's not military. That's just some people will be 48 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: saying to you, we're doing not doing military film. Well, 49 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: Phil is interview and his fellow because he supports the 50 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: military like nobody else. He's done absolutely loads of stuff 51 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 1: for our veterans. And if you have a look online 52 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: when we finished, and we'll tell you where to find 53 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: out various bits and pieces, he'll realize that this guy 54 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: turns up and supports our veterans whenever he can. He 55 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: plays a trumpet, No he doesn't. He plays a coronet, 56 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: and if you tell him it's a trumpet, he'll tell 57 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: you it's a coronet every single time. Okay, So, without 58 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: further ado, let me introduce my good old mate to 59 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: the fray alista were how are you body all right? 60 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: They're not too bad? Obviously you're not. You're not military? 61 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Do you have any military in your family? Friends? My 62 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: dad's best mate was a Scott's Guard. My dad couldn't 63 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: get in because he was too weak. Small audiences, they 64 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: won't get the wee thing. They'll be dashing to the toilet. Yeah, 65 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: it was too small. So it's either Pittman or a guardsman. 66 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: So my dad moved away. I've got a family that 67 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: are and friends and family that are either Scots guards 68 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: or Black Watch. I couldn't serve because the knee injuries 69 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: you played football for. Yeah, I played football, but I've 70 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: had history of bad knees. I was gonna I think 71 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: there was a football and injury. It was off had 72 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: a virus that had arthritis as a reaction, so it 73 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: stretched my knees and it weakened them and that was 74 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: the start of it. Basically I couldn't join. Ironically, when 75 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: I was going to join, I stayed on and the 76 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: sixth form got A levels. So when I went down 77 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: I got an application form for Sandurst. So I was 78 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: planning to be a yeh. So I'm glad you weren't 79 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: because you won't be saiday and there if you were. So. 80 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: So that is basically, and I've tried to be a reservist, 81 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: but now I've had six knee ops and every time 82 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: I thought about it, that's happened. At one point I 83 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: was gonna go and work for m I five, but 84 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: I have another on the left knee and it was 85 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: six months rehab. I thought, there's so you've taken to 86 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: supporting veterans. When did you first look at veterans causes 87 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: and that sort of stuff. Well, I've always supported and 88 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: followed veterans. I've got plenty of friends that are either 89 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: Paris or Mercy and Regiment Wolfers put up in Nottingham, 90 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: and obviously the Scottish connection. So I've always had an 91 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: interest in history, and of course the British Army is 92 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: a big part of that. My dad was a historian, 93 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: always used to point out the Scottish regiments, their traditions. 94 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: Always used to watch troop in the color and remembrance 95 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: Sunday and my dad would point out, you know, spin 96 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: the wheel and all that business. So I've always had 97 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: a love of the forces and everything that they stand for. 98 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: So it goes back to did you spend any time 99 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: in Scotland? Did because the Scottish units are as we know, 100 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: great great great units. A lot of visiting family Elk 101 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: there I've been. I've never been to the Tattoo, but 102 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: On one occasion when I was young with dad took 103 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: me milk to Eddie McCastle and we had a look around. 104 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: It was just after the tattoo, so but my dad 105 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: would take me around and he points out, I think 106 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: the Royal Scots were on on centry at the port 107 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: at that time, and of course and a lot of 108 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: my dad's poles were either Black Watch, Scott's Guard, a 109 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: few Royal Scots thrown in so okay, so you're known 110 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: for if you if you don't know Alistair and he 111 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: will do after this. Alister is known for for his 112 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: coronet playing all right, and everywhere we go, if there's 113 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: a tune that needs to be played, then obviously Alice 114 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: is there and you can you can just about get 115 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: anything out of that. That ma shame that you've got Wait, 116 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: can't even play that tells a little bit about that. 117 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: And the Alandes started playing it publicly and realized that 118 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: it was a crowd pleaser. Right. So my dad was 119 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: an expit man, so when he moved to England, he 120 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: got me. I wouldn't say got me. He pushed me 121 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: into the span from the age of six. So I 122 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: put those of you in America. Just just just explain 123 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: a little bit about the brass bands. They were big, 124 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: weren't they. The still are a bit sort of different 125 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: to American marching bands. But a corn it corn It's 126 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: very prevalent in American music. If you watch the raw 127 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: Marine Corps, the Marine Corps, you'll see the corn its 128 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: and the brass band Susan Marches is predominantly. That's very 129 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: similar to the traditional brass bands over here. So if 130 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: you know across the shore, if you think of the 131 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: Marines core of music band, it's very similar to a 132 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: brass band. So you've got other pieces in this band. 133 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: You've got in a brass band. You have trombones, you 134 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: have cornets, you'll have tenor horns, fluke or baritone, new 135 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: phonium e flat B, flat bass, and percussion. It's a 136 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: bit like the Kira book Coming down the Road. Basketball 137 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: play the front similar, not quite as big as ones 138 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: have an American Northern So I played in the brass 139 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: banduntil I was twenty. Did the contesting scenes. In brass bands, 140 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: you have contests and you play against each other. So 141 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: played played in the sort of famous venues, Royal concert 142 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: or Nottingham, played at the Royal College of Music behind 143 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: the back of Albert Hall. So I had a lot 144 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: of promise. So I was a principal corner player of 145 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: the second section band when I was thirteen. That's where 146 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: it all comes from. I actually packed up when I 147 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: was twenty to actually get a better job, start playing 148 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: football again and just get into a ladder kind of thing. 149 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: I started playing this fing in public. I started playing 150 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: this thing in public because I couldn't play football anymore 151 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: because I've I've had the final knee up and that 152 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: was it. So I thought what I'm going to do 153 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: And what actually prompted me to play again fully en 154 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: off when somebody brought me a soundtrack to all the 155 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: spaghetti Westerns. So you know, you're good band, the ugly 156 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: and all that, and I thought, I bet I could 157 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: play that. So I bought a trumpet off the bay 158 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: for a pound in India because I was a bit 159 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: of a cheapskate and it cost trumpet cost the pound. 160 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: You're you're a good player, you know what you're doing. 161 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: It cost me fifty quid postage and the trumpet cost 162 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: the pound and it was crap. It was useless. Anyway, 163 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: I got I got a corn it second hand corner, 164 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: and I just thought and basically what I did is 165 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: I'd go down to local football matches Forest I'm a 166 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: Forest fan, start playing for those of the famous Nottingham 167 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: Forest team. Basically I'd play, start to play tunes that 168 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: Forest would sing. Mullikin Tire is a favorite, Paul McCartney 169 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: did wings. And when I was doing all this, and 170 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: then sort of start to play the national anthem and 171 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: sort of patriotic tunes that on request. And then and 172 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: then somebody sort of an ex vet, said can you 173 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: play the last Post? So I played it, and then 174 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: in the PubL at the time it went quiet. Everybody 175 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: sort of paid attention and people were coming up the 176 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: saying and this vet particularly said he was an ex 177 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: para parachute regiment, he said. He said, Well, I was 178 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: in the paras used to hear that every night. He said, 179 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: but I could safely say I've never heard it played 180 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: as well as you've just played it. So one thing 181 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: to another. When I moved down to London more recently, 182 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: this was two thousand sixteen, I saw what was going 183 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: off with the witch hunt with with veterans, Northern Ireland 184 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: Veterans and I turned up out the blue. I spoke 185 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: to some of the admin team of the organizers, and 186 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: one of them, I think good Mr Horsfall said, bringing 187 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: corn it, it's another voice. So I turned up on 188 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: my Todd didn't know a soul and ended up at 189 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: the end after the event, stood up in a pub, 190 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: played all traditional regimental tunes. It went down like a 191 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: house on fire, but not house on fight went down 192 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: really well from there. It's people were sort of getting 193 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: on or would you be able to play for us? 194 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: Because you thought you're always you're you're you're in the 195 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: you're a B list and now the list, I would 196 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: tell you quite on the A list, people know you 197 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: don't know people know you from these marchers. You turn 198 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: up people like oh Alice to do yeah, yeah, and 199 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: they always say if you brought it, there's always there. Yeah. 200 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: He's the first time I've ever seen you with it 201 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: without it. Yeah. So so that we went to the 202 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: Union Jack Club after and I think Wendy had to 203 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: go and nearly got us thrown out. To be honest, 204 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: on that day, I've got a challenge for you, right, 205 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: So I've got I bought this for a pound for 206 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: those of you that can't see obviously, because this is 207 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: on the right. I bought this for a pound right now, 208 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: I can get a note out of this, So I'm 209 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: going to try and get a note out of this, 210 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: right okay, and then and then I should clean the 211 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: thing for us. If you get anything out of you, right, 212 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: anything better than I can? No pressure? Not quite a note? 213 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: Was it? Not quite? No, I'm not doing nothing at it. 214 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: I've got a bugle that I found in a charity 215 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: shop around here, and I knew Aliston was coming, so 216 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: I thought it was about the same time as it 217 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: was a pound. So I'm going to see if Alston 218 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: can get anything out of it. That's amazing. I'm going 219 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: to post a picture of this on my on my 220 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: side of fact, I'm going to send it the soft up. 221 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to post a picture of this thing because 222 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: you ain't gonna believe what he's just played it on 223 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: it.

I don't think anybody's 226 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: probably ever played that alright, because that's I've tried, and 227 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: I put I'll robbed them out a mouthpiece for it. 228 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: Of all these ones in the pub wants to try 229 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: to play because that didn't seem big enough. That's the 230 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: right one for the job. So there goes gigs that 231 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: you've done, Martins that you've been on.

If somebody damages it, 269 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: who is responsive, which is a load of rubbish. But 270 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: so the second year I went in and the security 271 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: staff said, he said, oh, great to see you. We 272 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: didn't know if you were coming or not because obviously 273 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: entertain them. Last year he says, we'll take it off 274 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: here for obvious reasons, but we'll give it back after 275 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: the match.

Obviously the 308 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: support for the for the for the veterans community is 309 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: that will continue as I've been booked for v E 310 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: Day victory in Europe day later on in a year. 311 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: And who's that for? Is that that? That was for 312 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: the veterans of pin Hall, So I think it was 313 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: first come first so it's kind of a niche thing, 314 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: so I'll be doing that. Obviously, I want to sort 315 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: of improve me standard because I didn't I had no 316 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: idea when it would take me just for standing up 317 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: a few of your plan because there's the bad pops 318 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: yeah Ben, and then there's another last Claire on drums. 319 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: So and I've been invited to play with the fuse 320 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: Aliers up in Newcastle, but obviously we're in London, so 321 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: do that because that would be phenomenal. Yeah. And then 322 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: the other thing, which is quite an eye open is 323 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: the fact that I've I've supported veterans for the Hyde part, 324 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 1: the Cavalry Veterans and the Hide part. And I get 325 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: invited now to the official remembrance of that where we've been. 326 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: I think last year there was official state trumpeters to 327 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: play official state So look, do you get trumpet envy? 328 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: Of course? Yeah? And you know so I do go 329 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: to see the band of the Raw Marines, and I 330 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: go to see the guards, and and the level of 331 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: expertise they've got is incredible, and sometimes I just think so. 332 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: But anyway, but one of the things I've been asked 333 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: because this year, the day of the remembering, for the 334 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: high part, they couldn't get a state trumpeter. I don't 335 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: know why, but the veterans that were there on that 336 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: day did ask me if I could fill in if 337 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: that situation arose again, and I said, well, obviously by 338 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: all means. So one of the things I'm going to 339 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: look at is to learn a cavalry bugle, which is 340 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: slightly different to an infantry one. I don't know that 341 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: that is an infantry. That's an infantry bugle. Yeah, that's 342 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: your classic bugle, but a cavering one's longer. If you 343 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: can picture the cavery with a troop of the color 344 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: with the longer. So it's high pitched, it's a different key, 345 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: it's a different no structure sound basically, So I'm going 346 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: to sort of you know, learn learn those and fill 347 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: in when required. So and then of course the rumble. 348 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, we haven't really talked about the rumble, and 349 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure it will take place somewhere. There'll be some 350 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: boxing to be had or something that. Yeah, so that's something. 351 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: So basically just can can continue. The work that I 352 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: do is a bit demanding. As you know, I've got 353 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: a new job, but I was working around Europe at 354 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: the time, which means it means it's difficult to practice. 355 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: I've got a new job which allows allows me to 356 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: work from home a lot, and because of that, I've 357 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: got the opportunity to now raise me standard. So that's 358 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you do like it's people of virgin know that. 359 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: I mean, now, I don't think you're not You're not 360 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: messing about it, really not not messing about but through 361 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: obviously when I was younger, I showed a lot of 362 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: promise and could have gone on to probably I don't 363 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: know it, could have been a musician within the the army, 364 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: to be honest. But but I'm of the opinion and 365 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: you're probably the same obviously from your experience. If you're 366 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: going to do something, you've got to do it. It's 367 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: best to the ability and with the opportunity, and well 368 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: where it's transpired, it's like, well, it's a fantastic place 369 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: to be in and I would like to improve to 370 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: to carry on and raise my standard. And the other friend, 371 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: the Alis is known for everybody knows him for this. 372 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: If you drink with Alista, you won't get through a 373 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 1: single night without avoiding them.

We ain't no blackguards too. We're single men 423 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: in barracks, most remarkable like you. And if sometimes our 424 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: conduct ain't on your fancy paints, well, single men in 425 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: barracks don't grow into plaster saints. And it's Tommy this 426 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: and Tommy that, and Tommy as you sold. It's thin 427 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: red line of eroes. When the drums begin to roll, 428 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: you talk of better food for us, and scores and 429 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: fires and all will wait for extra rations if you 430 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: treat as rational, don't mess around the cup room slops, 431 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: and prove it to our face. The widow's uniform is 432 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: not the soldier man's disgrace, and it's Tommy this and 433 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: Tommy that, and check him out, the brute, but it's 434 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: savior of his country when the guns begin to shoot, 435 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: and it's Tommy this and Tommy that and anything you please. Well, 436 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: Tommy ain't a blooming full you bet that Tommy sees. Yeah, fantastic, 437 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: And the message of that poem for me is still 438 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: pertinent today. And when I looked at the soldiers, you know, 439 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: especially when my old my old original unit were stationed 440 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 1: in town of the Princess of Old as well, they 441 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: could not get into a single boozer in town. Yeah, 442 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: they're quite prepared to get soldiers of seventeen years old 443 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: fight on the front line, okay, and they're quite prepared 444 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: to stick medals on the chest when they come home, 445 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: and rightly so. But they won't let them in the 446 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: boozers for love no money and Rochard Kipling. You know, 447 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: in the days of the Red Coats. We are talking 448 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: Afghanistan in the first time around, which was years and 449 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: years and years ago. So it's not it's not really 450 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: a problem that we've never had. It's uh yeah, and 451 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: it's I can't really understand it because well, as you know, 452 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: I support them, and I see that they deserve better. 453 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,959 Speaker 1: To be honest, no, I do think so do. Your 454 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: passion certainly does shine through when it comes to veterans 455 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: issues and that sort of stuff, because, like I say, 456 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: you've you've you've witnessed probably as much as I have 457 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: around town of people not being allowed in. Only the 458 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: other night we went out to celebrate, to celebrate Independence Day, 459 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: and the trumpet came, the coronet came, yeah, and Alista 460 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: played played played the national anthem in the pub and 461 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: was told the don't the shut up basically yeah, which 462 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: is beggar's belief. And for those of you in America 463 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: who probably think, well, if you could imagine going into 464 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: a public American know your your star spangled banner and 465 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: having people booming here s some turnly shut up I've 466 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: got to tell you now, it took a lot of 467 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: restraints from all of those concerned not to start Tommy 468 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: this and Tommy that around the park, you know, I mean, 469 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: it was it was quite insane, wasn't it. So that 470 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: from the level of support that we actually get sometimes 471 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: doesn't represent the amount of effort that guys put in 472 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: to put themselves in that position in the first place, 473 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: does it. Yeah, Well, so anything else you want to 474 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: talk about? What he just well, you know, obviously at 475 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: the Rumball since being becoming part of it, I think 476 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: one of the things that when I've met the Americans 477 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: as well, I mean I remember, I think I don't 478 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: think you were there at the time at the Rumball 479 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: last year. The atmosphere before is kind of electric and 480 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: it's buzzing, and I think one of the being able 481 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: to play. We were sat there and you know, the 482 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: boxes were sort of running around and you just want 483 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: to get out and have a fight. But basically, Rad, 484 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: you're a good friend and my good friend at all. Yeah, 485 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: he said, what can you play out now?

And it 488 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: really kind of sort of you can pack. John Snyder 489 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: actually looks like your typical boxing coach from downtown Manhattan. 490 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: And he had big old fans on him, great big arms, 491 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: and director looks like the guy he's training. He's a 492 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: monster of a man like.

Technology changes, battlefield methods of operation change, 521 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: but the actual heart and soul of the soldier and 522 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: the actual things that he suffers when he gets back 523 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: from battle haven't really changed much in in centuries. I 524 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't have thought, to be honest and to think that 525 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: we're still getting problems with people once they finished on 526 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: the battlefield.
