00:00So, you've come back to McMurray, what brought you back here?
00:03Oh, I have the promoter from the McMurray festival, he made me mental, begging me,
00:11please come back, people are asking for you. I had, yesterday we had shows in Norway and it was
00:17impossible to come over here with flight connections, so we really did all my best to
00:22come because I didn't want to disappoint the people. So, last time we came we had such a
00:27great connection and I said, I have to do all I can or we can to be over here and we made it,
00:33so we're here. But it was worth it, the crowd didn't cry for you, they really enjoyed that.
00:38Actually, we do it for the crowd, darling, I mean, everything you do in life is giving better
00:43than receiving, but in this place you give and you receive as an energy exchange, yeah, so we love it.
00:50As well, you wore the Scotland's flag.
00:53I wore it as respect to Scottish people, I know how nationalistic they are, a little country,
01:00they're very proud of their own flag, so to integrate with this crowd, to put your Scottish
01:06things, it makes things that it's like to thank them for all the energy they give you, you know,
01:12should be polite in life.
01:13Well, I think it was probably quite appreciated by the crowd.
01:17I do, I'm sure they did because you can see what a great time we had. I think
01:21there's no one act will top what we have done right now tonight, so they all go home.
01:28And did you get a chance to go down to Elginathal or explore the highlands a bit?
01:33Not much, but we did appreciate the cathedral as we came in, that's stunning.
01:38Actually, what she did, she invited me to chips, fish and chips.
01:41Yeah, he's never had fish and chips until today in Scotland, Annie, well, tell us, what did you think?
01:46I loved it, actually, what I loved the most that she paid it, so...
01:50Everything tastes better when somebody else is paying.
01:52It's the first time, so it tastes better when she paid it, so I never...
01:56How much restaurant you went to?
01:57No, it is a local fish...
01:58It's a fish that should be right under the bridge in Cullin.
02:02I loved it, actually, it really was, and then we have eaten it in front of the sea in a little
02:06bunch.
02:07Yeah, yeah.
02:07Dinner, so, and then we were feeding...
02:09Attack of the seagulls.
02:10I was feeding the seagulls together, so it was like, Scotland cannot complain about me.
02:15Proper Scottish experience.
02:17Even the seagulls, they cannot complain about me, they had great food with me.
02:21Giving and giving and giving.
02:22Yes.
02:23And do you have any choice after this?
02:25Oh, yes, we're such a f***ing busy, I mean, you know what?
02:31Actually, you should even don't remind me this, because I just had a great time, if I think
02:36all the world tour I have to do, I get like, I get like anxiety out of it, because...
02:41We're staying the moment, we're staying the moment.
02:43We have to go to America, we have to go to South Africa, we have to go to Australia in
02:47our country, we have to go to a few countries more, and so I prefer to come back here.
02:52Yeah, I really enjoyed that.
02:54Thank you, it was a good time, really.
