12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: about it last night. I'm thinking, you know, I've done

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: that much fishing in my life. There's really nothing much

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: to do anymore that The best thing about fishing for

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: me now is just getting away and just sit there

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: and I don't care if I catch anything.

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: You know, I still get a thrill that I'm talking

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: to you. I mean we We've interviewed you a number

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: of times, and every time I think, I cannot believe

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: I'm talking to John Paul Young. We I've watched you

21
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: so many years and loved you for so many years,

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: as has everybody. And let's talk about fifty years when

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: you first said to your family, I'm thinking about becoming

24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: a singer. Did they say don't be stupid?

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: No, it was actually it was it was the boys

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: in my little band at of Liverpool elm Tree, who said, oh,

27
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: we're going to form a band. And I was the

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: one who said to them, I don't be so stupid,

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: and they convinced me to join them, and I soon

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: realized that if I didn't concede and join them, I

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,639
Speaker 1: would lose my mates. So that's basically the only reason

32
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: I got into it.

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: But then going professional did that seem that that seemed

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: the sort of thing that would happen to other people?

35
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, everything happened at once, you know, it's it.

36
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Probably it was the fifth of November. I remember when

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: Simon nap Well came into the Liverpool Masonic Hall and

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: he had a big cigar in his mouth and he said,

39
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: do you want to make a record? And that was

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: that was the start of it, and it's just amazing.

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: And then and then before I knew it, I was

42
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: in I was in the musical theater, and then before

43
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: I knew it, the show went busted and I was

44
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: back in Fairfield. And then before I knew it, I

45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: got a telegram to audition for JC Superstar, which again

46
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: is coming up for fifty years on the fourth of May.

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 3: Wow ww, you got a telegram to audition for Jesus

48
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: Christ Superstar. Imagine that says it all.

49
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: I ready of the old AppUp.

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: But the technology back then as well, so you would

51
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: have had the paper, so you would have had to

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 3: muse on that. That would have made you so anxious.

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because that was the only time you got

54
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: on telegram. Is when you know, somebody carcked it, you know,

55
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: And just he was. I can still hear that motorbike,

56
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, because I'd sat there at home with Dad

57
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: looking at me. He never said anything, God bless him,

58
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: but he just had that look about him. And I

59
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: didn't know what I was going to do. And just

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: just that guy turning up with the full uniform on

61
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: and handing me that little brown envelope. It was just

62
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: it was my life saver.

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: I love that. Are any of the outfit's going to

64
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: go on tour? The sailors suit, the satin bomber jacket.

65
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: Oh look, you got no idea how seen we were

66
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: back then?

67
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: No one worked out, did they. Everyone was there, no muscles,

68
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: we were.

69
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Just we were so skinny. I don't think we probably

70
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: we probably didn't eat as much as we do these days.

71
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: There you go, and you didn't spend your spare time

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: in the gym like they all seem to now.

00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,920
