Speaker 1 (00:00):
How about the way a mixed one O two point
three Fringe Fix with Eddie Banner Chloe Castledine. Your show
is about eighties music.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
All eighties music, but by all of the eighties ladies,
so all the big power popped evers of the eighties.
So no songs by males, not that they're any they're bad.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I just yeah, there was just no one around in
the eighties that were male, not.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
None at all. No, nothing stands out to me at all,
So I only remember the women.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
What do you love most about this show?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Oh, there's so much to love about it. It's it's
very fun, there's nothing. No one takes themselves too seriously.
We don't take the show too seriously. It's very colorful,
it's very big, bright, and lots of music going on,
big band, So it's just fully you're just fully immersed.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Do you find that people know the songs way better.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Than I do? So they have very accountable to these lyrics.
The funny thing is is every single time I come
out to do Madonna, I sing look around everywhere you turn,
his Heartache, It's everywhere that you go, and then without fail,
the entire crowd goes what you know, so they all
say the backing vocals louder than my own. I was like, oh,
(01:21):
get the words right, Chloe.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
If you could add a one sentence review of your show,
what would it be?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
That's it, Here we go.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Here we go, brace yourselves. Actually that's not a bad one.
Here you go, brace yourselves. You know you are being
You're about to get blown away.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
You should have just stopped there. Here we go, brace
ourselves for a visual extrava gunza of love and love.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Good luck editing this.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Do you have a pre show ritual for the shell look?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I would like to say that I do. And then
I get into this really amazing headspace and me, me, me,
me me. But I'm also the producer of this show. Sorry,
and I just spat on the floor.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I lovely you said sorry, and then mind cleaning something up.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I have to mind everything because I have.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
No money left, but we've put all their money into this.
I mind mops, I mind friends min here, I am everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
As the producer of the show. I'm running around like
a mad woman, just making sure everything's in place. Dancers
are ready, costumes are all in their right spots. And
so that's my ritual, just making sure everything is in
its right spot. And then two minutes before this everyone's settled,
the crowds come in, so that that time when the
(02:50):
crowd actually walks in is the only time I've kind
of got myself to put myself in the performers headspace.
That's when I'll probably think, oh heck, I didn't want
want my boys, so then I'll just do some quick Yeah,
that'll do. Oh heck, I'm supposed to be on run
on stage.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
What celebrity would you love to see in the front
row of your show?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Oh heck, So you want Whitney Houston to be in
the front row because I love her so much. But
then you don't want it to be in the front
row because I could never match up to that standard
and she's just amazing. And then then you've got like
a current act who I still quite admire, Justin Timbloke.
I'm still a big fan of Justin and he uses
(03:32):
all the elements music, dance, color, costume, lights, eli, ed screens,
every content. Everything's just he uses everything. And I've always
grown up loving that, so've I put that in my show.
So it'd be interesting to have him in the front row,
either he would judge it hard or just be like, great,
(03:54):
I'm hiring you.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh really, So it's less about a professional melding of
artistry and more like a job interview.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Baby. Yeah, I guess I wouldn't have to really worry
about the budget at that point, would I? Justin? Timlake's
hiring me to do his show? Yeah? Great, that's why
I'd want him in the front r a job to
get a job?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Why the eighties music?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
During primary school, I went to school and unfortunately was
bullied pretty badly so and it was quite relentless, so
that was very annoying. So I used to hide away
in the assembly room during lunchtime and there was a
touring dance group. They must have been high school students
at the time, and they used to go to all
these primary schools and do all the like dance things,
(04:41):
and I just remember watching them thinking, oh my gosh,
I need to do that. I need to be that,
I need to be on stage dancing and singing and
hearing the locomotion. Anyway, they left their cassette tech in
the in the assembly hall, and it was a mixtape
of all of these songs like Madonna and Kylie and
(05:04):
so there you go.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I I'm so you're hiding from the bullies. I'm hiding
from the book in the bosom of the eighties with
the with the music.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That's it just playing. So I then started to I
would dance so hard because literally nobody's in the assembly roe.
And so I've always loved music and singing and dancing
and always wanted to be like a singer. So there
I am, at probably eight years old, just going hard
in the room with the locomotion or whatever song it was. Oh,
(05:35):
girls just want to have fun. And I would come
up with these routines and pretend I was on stage, so.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
You'd choreyograph them as you listen to them.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, while I'm there, I'm like choreographic show and I'm
the singer. And I even did the thing where you
you know, you're like puffed down. So in this assembly hall,
I'd create concerts where I was the star. And so
Eighties Ladies is actually the imagination of my childhood.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Oh my god. So you at one stage would have
said I want to be this when I grow up,
and then today you are a be this.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, I'll make it myself. So I did. So I've
come up with this show with all of those songs
that inspired me as a kid, as a young girl,
everything that people just love to listen to. So this
show is my childhood imagination. And I actually I start
the show with young Chloe in the Assembly Hall dancing
and singing, and then she gets transported through her eighties
(06:34):
walkman and we sing together. So I'm living my dream
out whether it's in the Wembley Stadium or in the
Pyramid at Victoria Square, either one, I'm still actually physically
doing it and I have a crowd who love it,
so that is actually the dream.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
