Speaker 1 (00:00):
Very special guests from Adelaide all over the place though
back and forward. It's ridiculous, Hugh shared and makes it
no thank you very much. How are you mate? The
one clap your publicist could have clapped for you too,
Let's be honest. I probably could have clapped myself as well,
but I didn't. That might be a bit odd. I'm good,
I'm good. I'm back in Adelaide. Yes, you're back in Adelaide.
(00:21):
Now big news today about the Fringe. Tell us about
your involvement and your story sort of history with the Fringe.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Oh well, I I mean, gosh, the Fringe has always
been part of my life since I can remember. I
do remember as a kid, probably in the nineties, my
sister Zoe was working for the Fringe, so there was
a lot of She used to take me to stuff
and that's probably my earliest memory of it. But then
when I was at school, I loved going to the
(00:48):
Fringe once I could. But even like as a teenager,
you know what it's like. You know, it's Adelaide, so
you can let thirteen year olds and probably now it's
even younger just gone wander around. And I think for
me it was a great way to sort of be
exposed to a lot of people and a huge amount
of people actually that work in the arts in all
sorts of different areas, you know, and that's very important,
(01:10):
I think for Adelaide because it's you know, in the
nineties especially, we were predominantly a very sports focused town. Yeah,
maybe not in the eighties, but in the nineties we
definitely were. And so the fringe was really, you know,
something special for me. And more recently, well probably I
(01:30):
don't even know how long ago, but maybe about ten
years ago when Heathers started, she asked me to create
a show, and I created my band, the California Kreners Club, Yes,
and we started doing shows. And I haven't done the
Fringe for the last couple of years. I had a
couple of years off, you know, have a break every
now and then. But yeah, I'm coming back with a
(01:51):
new show next year and I'm very excited.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And it's called Something Big. It's called something Big.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
What are we talking about here, Well, it's named after
an album that I just released on an album called
Something Big, and something Big is one of the songs
on the album. And so yeah, I was just looking
for a time and I thought, yeah, that'll do. And
there's songs with my late father on the album as well.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh amazing. Yeah, I'm very proud of It's a cool
jazz album. I don't know if you like jazz, but
it's great. I think when here Sheridan does jazz, we
all like jazz.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh well, you know, if you want to hear it,
come along to the show Center on the second and the.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Ninth, Yes, March Sunday, second or ninth of March, so
you're going to be there two shows at the Alad Fringe.
And the inspo behind the music I'm seeing here. We're
talking like obviously Earth Winning Fires September, which is a classic, yeah,
but also Calvin Harris, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars run me
through that well.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
There are all songs that we covered with the California
Kreenas Club, and I'm not sure how much of that
will be in this show because it is predominantly focused
on the album, but there'll be. I always like to
turn things up a little bit. There's a few things
floating around. I've had some request to do songs from
Wicked as well. Obviously everyone's gone mental, Yeah, are you
going to cry when someone asks you a question about Wicked.
(03:03):
You know you're holding space and you're just going to go,
thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I'll just sing this song. But look, I don't know
if I'm going to do that.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I mean, so, I mean, essentially, I could say there's
going to be a bit of Ariana Grande in there,
but look, I mean it's a little way off. But
you know, it's more about talking about the album, talking
about my father, and also raising a bit of awareness
for prostate cancer because the album's proceeds are some of
the proceeds are heading towards the Prosta Cancer per Nation,
(03:31):
which is how dad died.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So nice, So you know, it's a bit of everything.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
But certainly for Adelaide people or people coming in from
interstate or overseas, it'll be a good show to come
to because it's I'm from Adelaide and obviously all the
stories with my dad and with the music and my
relationship to.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
That, and also about the fringe, like what you're.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Talking about, Like, I think it's interesting for people to
get that sort of local, authentic stories.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Absolutely and no more local and authentic than yourself and
being part of Fringe for you know, many many years
that's a nice homecoming for you. But before we get there,
we got the Carols as well. That's a homecoming. And
I've heard stories about you with the Carrols. You had
what was it the Carols by Hugh Light or something?
What was it when you were a little kid? Carols
by Sheridan Line? Yeah, I love it. How did you
know that? Because I was in the interview when I
(04:20):
heard that. So that was performances that you put on
at home, right when you're a kid.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, yeah, I don't look, I just loved the Carols
by Kendler. I mean, I mean, I'm actually very proud
of that. Yeah, I'm proud of it. No, I did
as a kid. I think similar to the Fringe, where
it was just a great opportunity for me to sort
of I mean, obviously the Carrols is very different, but
the idea of like people coming together en mass, I
suppose like in a way when you're a child, Carols
(04:49):
could be considered in a weird way, like the first
rock concert that you ever go to. Well, the first
concept is obviously there's no rock except the jingle bell
rock off right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Like a frog and a suck.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
But I mean the idea of mass you know, community
all at a park sitting, you know, sitting and singing
songs together and watching this huge concert.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But I feel like that's the official launch to Christmas.
Like nothing feels more festive. What about the Christmas Pageant?
Yeah sure, but that's not even in December. You know,
this is like class, We're ten days away, eleven days away,
whatever it is from Christmas Day and everyone's there together
and all you're doing is sing in Christmas song. You're
going to come this year. I've got three and a
half year old, So anything to keep her entertained for
like twenty minutes I'm there, really bring her on stage
(05:35):
over up.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I've seen now and I think she's got just the
right amount of sassy to come on the stage and
take the microphone.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah. Absolutely, But that's the beauty of it. And it's yourself,
and it's Darmie, im and Emma member for the kids.
It's a full on family event, it is, and.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's I mean, it's it's it's amazing because it's free
and it's like, well, you know, I think there's a
gold coin donation or something if you want, if you can,
but essentially it's this incredible concert and it's a beautiful
initiative by the government to keep it and this year
it's turning eighty.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah, it is actually wild because I thought, you know,
Sydney and Melbourne would be like as old or something.
But I was sang it the Sydney Carrol's birthday and
I think it was like forty years and that was
a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
So Adelaide's like way older. We might have even invented.
I'm just going to say that we didn't. I think
let's just absolutely claim it and saying it here. It
seems like something that Adelaide would start and then Sydney
would swoop on in and take all the credits.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Now, Melbourne probably did it first and then Sydney was like, oh,
there's something going on down there. But you know, it's
when you think about it other parts of the world,
you know, they don't have the luxury to celebrate in
summer and have Christmas in summer, and you know, to
be able to be outside, and you know, it's I
think it's pretty unique and it's probably something that we
(06:54):
do take for granted. And you know, I've been thinking
about it since I was a child. Which is why
I created Carols by Sheridan Life, which was basically my
auntie on a p and ola and I read sing
and everyone from the family would just come and watch.
In fact, my uncle who used to run kWp, he's
(07:16):
in the end after a couple of years of great success,
he would bring around the sponsors to watch. His sponsors
or like his clients come around and watch because he
was just like, this is my nephew.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Like I mean in a way, and now I'm thinking
about it was probably like look at my little freaker
nephew could have been that, or they knew you had
something then because if you, like, if you were terrible,
he wouldn't have brought his clients over.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I think I was just very eccentric, you know, like
for a seven year old, but I'd already been doing
it since I was about five.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You know, it's an old thing. Everybody's welcome. Yeah, I
invited the street, probably sold tickets. I love it, So
you're gonna be that. That's December fourteen, Saturday kicks off
about three pm Elder Park Carol's by Candlelight with Hugh Sheridan,
Mark Seymour, Emma Mema is going to be there that
bass she's coming to Oh great, I love her. Yeah,
it's wild. Yeah, it's going to be awesome. Absolutely. And
(08:10):
then yeah, after that the Adelaide Fringe your show Something
Big the second March, the ninth of March. We get
tickets at Fringe ticks. I'm guessing yeah, they come out today,
so to give them for Christmas, I say.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, get the tickets for Christmas, and also grab the
album as well for giving back.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And the album's also called Something Big.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It's also called Something Big, So you can listen to that,
get excited, leand the words and come and sing along.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And that's available now. It's available now on all streaming services.
Love it. Okay, you've just missed the Spotify rap thing,
but maybe next year.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Oh yeah no, look, I reckon my album will be
on my Spotify rap because I've probably listened to it
quite a few times.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You Sheridan listen to Hugh Sheridan for three thousand and
seventy five minutes.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, well, like I think every time it's streamed, I get,
like the whole album streamed. I get four cents, all right,
so you know I was trying to get a dollar.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah. Cool, perfect, I'll just put my phone over in
the corner and just let it just roll on through. Yeah. Please.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
There's a band that did that. Actually I can't remember
who they were, but it was quite famous. Yeah, they
just got everyone to they just had them rolling on
through the whole time. Yeah and yeah went to number
one apparently.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Nice. All right, well you, Sheridan, you're a busy man.
Thank you for sharing some of your time with us.
My pleasure. We've now got your sister working here at
Mix as well, so are we. I know she has
she going awesome, she's banging. Has a couple of tech problems,
oh yeah, but we'll overcome them. Oh yeah. Seventy nine
years in the business. All right, here for Carol's here
for the Adelaid friend and she's Sheridan, legend of Adelaid mate.
(09:31):
