00:00 You mentioned earlier on, Paul, just quickly about Glasgow.
00:02 Glasgow city, Prague, is a city that I know and love really well.
00:05 Been going there since I was a teenager.
00:07 Got an amazing history, you know, musically, clubbing, all those kind of things.
00:11 I really wanted to go there and I was hoping, you know, we could sell a few tickets.
00:15 We sold out there in 12 hours, was it?
00:17 You know, that sums Glasgow up to me.
00:19 Like, I can't wait to get up there and put a party on for everybody up there.
00:22 What about the music specifically in terms of the playlist?
00:26 I mean, what kind of genres do you dip into?
00:29 And is there a sing-along element to it, I suppose, as well?
00:33 Yeah, there is. Go on, Vick.
00:35 Yeah, I mean, the music, it sort of, it varies.
00:38 It's one of those, somebody sort of described it as a like a pick and mix,
00:43 like a bag of sweets. Yeah.
00:45 Do you know what I mean?
00:45 So one minute you've got Common People, the next minute you've got Whitney.
00:49 And there's no great sort of like way in which we're going from it to diva pop.
00:53 It's just a, they've created,
00:57 curated, sorry, a really amazing playlist that, you know,
01:01 we have spoken about the fact that maybe we're in different cities.
01:05 We might sort of include songs that we know were really popular there
01:09 back in the day between 75 and 95.
01:11 But the music is important.
01:14 And, you know, you never, it's trying to please everybody.
01:17 That's always, you know, a big challenge.
01:18 But the great thing about Day Fever is like Johnny says, it's not snobby.
01:22 You're all going to know the tunes.
01:23 You'll all be able to, everybody knows Night Fever.
01:26 I mean, we play that obviously because, you know,
01:28 it's a bit of a play on the words of Day Fever, but everybody knows the Bee Gees.
01:33 Everybody knows Whitney.
01:34 Everybody knows, you know, the Stone Roses, whatever it is,
01:39 whatever theme it is we're going on.
01:42 So, yeah, you know, when you step to it, it's one of those, isn't it?
01:45 It doesn't matter where you are.
01:46 You go to the bar when they're playing a tune that you don't want to dance to.
01:49 And then by the time you got back from the bar,
01:50 there's a banging tune on that you want to dance to. So it's fine.
01:54 OK, so Vicky, how familiar, I know Johnny's very familiar with Glasgow,
01:57 but how familiar are you with Glasgow?
02:00 I'm very familiar with Glasgow.
02:02 I mean, I am a McClure, so technically.
02:04 One of our own, Vicky, one of our own.
02:08 Absolutely, very proud as well.
02:11 We have our own tartan, which I own in a scarf,
02:14 which is the most beautiful scarf I own, obviously.
02:17 No, I did a job in Glasgow called The Replacement years ago now,
02:22 but I lived right in the centre of town, right next to Central Station.
02:26 And I loved it.
02:29 It felt weird.
02:31 I don't know what, you know, sort of was the reason behind it,
02:34 but it felt very similar to Nottingham in terms of the people
02:38 and just the welcome that I got, just the realness of it all.
02:42 You know, it feels like, you know, very much a place
02:45 where people look after one another.
02:48 And I think I remember seeing a tagline in the city centre
02:51 that said, "The people make Glasgow."
02:53 And it feels completely true.
02:55 So, yeah, I'm a massive,
02:59 massive lover of the city, I always have been.
03:02 But when I spent a lot of time there, I just, you know,
03:05 I just felt very at home.
03:06 It was great.
03:07 And I'm really looking forward to coming to Glasgow for Day Fever.
