1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Gold it's Jonesy Demanda's jam Nation.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: Well, this is very exciting. The new season of The

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: Piano is back on our screens on Sunday. I just loved,

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: loved love being part of season one and I didn't

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: think anything could be better than season one. But I'll

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: tell you what I think. Season two hits it right

7
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: out of the park. Along for the ride this year

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: is Guy Sebastian, and Guy Sebastian joins us.

9
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, hey, I've been waiting for the chance to

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 3: speak to you on your show about our show.

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: This is exciting and isn't it a great thing to

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: be part of. It's a show that for those who

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: haven't seen The Piano, we put a piano in a

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: public place and we ask people to come down who

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: have a connection to the piano. People who don't want

16
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: to be stars, people who don't want record contracts, people

17
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 2: who just love music and have a story to tell us,

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: and they don't know that they're being watched. Well this series,

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: they did, but they didn't know who they're being watched by.

20
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: Andrea Lamb and Guy Sebastian, who pick someone from each

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: episode to join us on stage for a big concert

22
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: that in a nutshell is what the show is. But

23
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: that doesn't do justice to the emotion of the show. Guy,

24
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: does it.

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 3: No. I'll mean, if you pitched a show to a

26
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: TV exec. I imagine if I was that TV exec

27
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 3: and someone said, Okay, we're going to place this inanimate

28
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: object in public. People are going to come and play

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 3: the piano a bit and we'll just ask them about

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: their life. Which should we make a whole show about it?

31
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: Let's do a whole series. I'd probably think they're mad

32
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: and there's not enough content. But then you watch it unfold,

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: and I mean, you know that it's very different to

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: the shiny floor format that I've been a part of

35
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: for a long time. And I think you know, there's

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 3: no winner, there's no record contract at the end, they're

37
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: just sharing what the instrument.

38
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what's so refreshing about this is that

39
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: you see someone who looks completely unassuming. They step up

40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: and they tell you a story. And you when we're

41
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: filming at a shopping center or in a mall or

42
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: in ant and I stand there thinking, who is it,

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: who amongst these people is about to walk towards me

44
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: and tell me an amazing story.

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, it covers the whole spectrum, doesn't it. It's very joyful,

46
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: Like you said, you know, we're sitting in circular key

47
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: and here comes this kind of tough looking bearded construction

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: worker in high viz and he sits down and plays

49
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: something called something Butterfly. It's a Lebanese folk song and

50
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: it's so unexpected, but in the hustle and bustle of Sydney,

51
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: very different to where I grew up in Adelaide. Everyone's

52
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: getting off the ferry and they're going to their office jobs.

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 3: But here's this piano and this bearded high viz guy

54
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: who says his influences raged from celid be onto Black Sabbath.

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: He sits down and stops people in their tracks.

56
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: You know.

57
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: The catalyst for that is obviously that instrument eighty eight

58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: keys in a box and ED can represent so many things.

59
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: It was kind of very soul drenching. If that's a.

60
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Soul dranging and here it is. It's going to be

61
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: on Sunday when that construction workers showed up. We're sort

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: of hoping that there would be an Indian chief, a

63
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: motorcycle cop, a sailor and an army guy because that.

64
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: We were hoping to form a group like one Direction called.

65
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: Who would be the Village?

66
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: Who amongst us?

67
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: Who?

68
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: The piano premiere is Sunday, the fifteenth of March. That's

69
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: this Sunday seven point thirty on the ABC and I

70
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: view Guys, Sebastian, thank you for joining us, My pleasure,
