Speaker 2: was an amazing, amazing event. And yeah, amazing talent on

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: the bill and the people. Just the atmosphere was phenomenal,

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: you know.

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: And it started early. I know, I started at one

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: in the afternoon and it was.

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: It was jammed backed from early. I got there early

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: to you know, just to hang out really and yeah,

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: I mean they were ready to go.

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, your wife is Australian. But it just seems that

16
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 3: this the crisis that we've been through this summer has

17
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: just touched people all over the world, hasn't it.

18
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: It has. Part of the reason I wanted to be

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: here was was that I meant to let people know

20
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: that we you know, we heard you. It wasn't you know,

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: you're not alone. It was.

22
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: It was heartbreaking.

23
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: It was devastating and sometimes you can feel, you know,

24
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time in Australia. I spent

25
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: a lot of time in London and sometimes stories don't

26
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: you know, you don't they don't translate, they don't communicate

27
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: that they don't travel. And it was nice, I think,

28
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: to know that you know you were heard and that

29
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: you know we we felt your pain and that's why

30
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: I wanted to be here.

31
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 4: Well, I love how you articulated that on stage yesterday

32
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: because up until that point, you know, it's nice to

33
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 4: be thought of as that, and I think that's what

34
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 4: you saw.

35
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: The sense of pride that everyone had at that concert.

36
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: Was it was amazing. It was amazing, and people were

37
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: so generous with their time and also with their money.

38
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: You know, the amount of money I think was ten

39
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: million dollars in the end they raised by the end

40
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: of last night, so phenomenal. I left because I went

41
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: over to do the project afterwards and I watched online.

42
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: Some of the other performances A Queen were just insane.

43
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: It was so magic. Johnny Farrenham, I mean, what a bill.

44
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: I think that will be a seminal moment for Australia.

45
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: I really think that that show will be like our

46
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: Live Aid.

47
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Or something like that.

48
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: Now it's twenty since you left Boyzone. Does it feel

49
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: like one minute or a million years.

50
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: Oh. At times it's well, it's a bit of both.

51
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: At times it feels like a long, long time ago,

52
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: and then it's like, you know, you know the way

53
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: you kind of freeze yourself in time. I mean, I

54
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: still think I'm eighteen. I know I'm not, and when

55
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: I go to the gym, I definitely feel like I'm not,

56
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: but I still feel like I'm eighteen. You kind of

57
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: freeze yourself in that time at a certain time in your head.

58
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: So it feels like Boyson has lasted forever. Really, yeah,

59
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: has never gone away, and it's been Yeah, I'm I

60
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: wouldn't be here today without those years. The nineties. They

61
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: were very good to me because.

62
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: There would have been a point where you thought, I

63
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 4: want to distance myself from boys.

64
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: And yeah, definitely.

65
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: I mean when you're you're kind of struggling with all

66
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: of it, you know, being in a boy band, when

67
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: you're in your teens, and you know the record company

68
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: are telling you what to say, what to do, what

69
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: to wear, and you kind of want your own identity.

70
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: I kind of saw it with one direction when all

71
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: of those lads kind of just ran for the hills

72
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: as soon as they could and it's created their own

73
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: identities away from the band. It's it's yeah, it's definitely

74
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: something that you you struggle with. And I went solo,

75
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: and you know, I wanted to be I mean, I

76
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: wanted to be credible, I wanted to be respected, I

77
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: wanted to be all these things. And it's stupid, it's

78
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: just childish, it's immature, but you can't help it. So yeah,

79
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's there were very good years to me,

80
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: and like I say, I wouldn't be here today without.

81
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: Them having said that. You you know, the minute you

82
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: left the band, you had two back to back number

83
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: one singles, so you have absolutely, you know, flown since boysoned.

84
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: It's it's been great.

85
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: The twenty years have been amazing. I say it all

86
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: the time joking to people, but I'm like, I say,

87
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: I'm still getting away with it. They haven't found me

88
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: out yet, you know, And it kind of I feel

89
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: very lucky that I'm still doing a twenty six years

90
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: later after starting when I was sixteen years of age,

91
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: to still be here and doing it, because I mean,

92
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: I have a lot of friends in the industry who

93
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: started at the same time or while I was doing it,

94
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: and they're gone now there. Some of them are driving taxis,

95
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: some of them are you know, hairdressers, barbers, whatever. And

96
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: it's crazy.

97
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, but it's great. I was not nodding here

98
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: the other night, and I just love seeing that song.

99
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,240
