Oh good venue.

haven't sort of even sort of processed yet. Yeah, we're
doing a festival on Saint Patrick's Day. Yep, well, the
sixteenth of March. Saint Patrick's Festival. Yeah, yeah, you know,
I just feel like it's crying out for it.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Honestly, I think it's incredible. You know, in Australia we
have a massive Irish population.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Massive.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I didn't even realize, you know, I have the first
time last week, And tell me if I'm saying it right, spicy,
I had a spice bag. Spice bag.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Did you like it?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Loved it?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It's great? Didn't like it?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
The next day when I woke up.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yea, the spice I can feel it. That worked through.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
But if you don't know what a spice bag is,
I mean you can explain. It's a chicken.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
What is it? Fried chicken, chips, onions, peppers.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
It's so good it is. And then I and I
was leaving and the ladies like you want to sort
of bread? Yeah, this is a terrible so spic bag
of bread?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
No thanks?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
What I want to know? But she was trying to
bring me in. She's like, do you want some? It
wasn't tab but it was this orange drink with like
real pulp in it or something. Okay, yeah orange, yeah
maybe maybe in all this and then coleslaw and potato.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Salad and pot so there's like dedicated Irish shops.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah that's what some. Yeah. My point is that I
think the Irish culture is bubbling under in Australia and
that's what you plan to do obviously in Irish. Boy,
you want to bring this music festival here?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, I mean like we've always had good shows here.
I think, like you said, there's so many Irish here
them as home. Yeah, I want to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, it's'd be great. It's gonna be fu is what
it's called. Miss I'm saying that right, and that's Gaelic
for courage.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I love that your idea. Do you are you doing
this over in Ireland and in Europe or no?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Like next year will be year one? Wow, do Sydney
then immediately fly to Boston. Do it in Boston and
then who knows where it goes from there. I mean
there was Sydney in Boston and the two cities in
the first year obviously massive Irish kind of contingent in both,
and then see where it takes us.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So smart? So are you doing like I'm picturing like
food stalls, but my brain goes to food, to the
spice bags. They'll be There'll be a celebrate stall, I know, right,
That's how markets always it always ends up this performance
and then slowly you get the the Gaelic with a
knitting and then celebrate. So is that what it's going
to be. Is it going to be you performing some
Irish friends?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Exactly? Yeah, I'll headline it and then the lineup, you know,
like the lineups taking shape the whole time. There'll be
Australian artists, they'll be Irish artists. Yeah, it's crazy. Like
I just know when I was younger, if someone would
give me a gig, it meant a lot to me. Yes,
and so it's just fun. Like there was a thing
last week called Irelend Music Week back home and there
(03:22):
was some acts that we got to sort of like
surprise to tell them they're coming to Sydney to play
ye stuff Like that's crazy to me because I remember
like I had different I had different sort of ring
tones for a promoter would call me. I knew I
was getting a gig. It was twice a year. Yeah,
Like I was obsessed with it. And so it's I
just think it's frustrating if you think you're doing a
good thing and the world hasn't sort of paid attention
to it yet, it can be disheartening. And so when
(03:44):
you kind of get offered something like that. It kind
of just it gives you that sort of excitement again
about what you're doing. And so to be able to
kind of make a lineup of my own is brilliant.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So cool man. So it's next year a Sir Patrick's Day,
Next Year FRONTI touring dot com if you want to
get tickets to missnog So do you speak Gaelic?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I went to an all Gaelic speaking primary school. So
that's my foundation of Irish. Now it's not it. It
is sort of what's the word worsened over time? Speak English? Sorry,
your Gaelic is worse. Yeah, now it's not great. I'd
be fine. Like if I spend some time in an
Irish speaking area, I would it would come.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Back out of practice, you know, and in differentialities.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I feel like I'm behished myself, Like, yeah I could,
I would.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Be able to speak it. I went to Scotland for
the first time in December. It was beautiful and what
shocked me was that there's fully full Gaelic radio stations.
I'm a radio notes, so I turned on the radio
and I listened to the local radio. Really, it's so cool,
it is, It's like it's actually beautiful to hear like
the what is it a is a language?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Is that Gayla Gaelic? Yeah, in Ireland, I don't know
if in Scotland is it like Gallic? Is there something?
I think there's definitely similarities in so many ways. And yeah,
it's a beautiful language. I mean, like in Ireland is
a little say in Ireland, the little pockets of the
country that kind of they're called Gaeltats and they kind
of it's still spoken there quiteavily. My he lives in one,
(05:00):
and yeah, it's sweet.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Do you call her and she wants full Gaelic you're
talking Gaelic?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
No, she understands. Yeah, it's funny too. It's hard because
sometimes I'll go to where she lives on this island
and try and speak Irish at the locals and they're
just so sympathetic, so immediately they switched in.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Oh really, so you are Irish and they even think
you're They're like, I.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Don't think I'm a chancer, but they're just like, it's
easier if we speak.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Really, it's a dying art. I was talking to something
and it's like they're a government initiatives to keep people
learning and keeping it, you know, part of the culture.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I do think there's a resurgence of my generation caring. Yeah,
I believe.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So that's good. I love that. I wish we had
something like that in Australia. We're all Bogans. We also
we have no beautiful language Australia, shit Cans. It's traditional culture.
We have a real issue in this country. And that's
why I admire going through Europe and all the different
pockets of Europe. They love their heritage and certain parts,
you know, in Germany it's it's all been sort of removed.
In certain places in the world, they're like, yeah, let's
not let's not look back. Yeah, so we'll focus on
(05:53):
the future. Yeah, hopefully. But in Australia, it's like, God,
I wish we would, we would embrace our roots. We're
a weed country. Do you find that coming? HET's it.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I don't w a past judgment, but like I guess
in Ireland, this is just such a long history. I
guess we're such a We're such an aggressively proud little nation,
you know what I mean. And so yeah, it's very important,
I mean, like truthfully, not to constantly come back to it.
But it's just like Patrick say, you think about it,
like Sydney, all these cities all over the world to
be celebrating Patrick's daye like like Chicago, they die of Evergreen,
(06:24):
all this kind of stuff, and like there'll be all
this music playing and all this kind of stuff and
all the culture is so rich, and it's just like
where's the gig? Yeah, you know. Yeah, so I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh there this weed connection to make it about me
for a seconds, so sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I went to a psychic in Scotland and he was like, oh,
I get a Shamrocks. Shamrocks. Shamrocks everywhere own the Shamrocks.
And I was like, Shamrocks, Like, you're you're gonna find
love in Ireland way, yeah, south of Ireland. You're gonna
find love December twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Five in Ireland.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Really And he's like yeah, but there'll be a celebration
and you'll meet this man. However, he'll be married to
a woman and there'll be a baby. I'm like, this
is this is a drama, this is inside Yeah. And
then I get back from this trip and my best
friend from high school says, I'm getting married. She's marrying
an Irish boy. Yeah, And The wedding is in twenty
twenty five, in December. It's crazy, it's bang on, it's
all lining up.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
You've met the guy.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well, I've got a boyfriend currently, so if it's not
then that will be ill. Well. I'm excited for Mishnock
talk to me about new music because I was reading
that there's an untitled album You've got because we need
new music.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah. I was in Nashville for a good bit this summer. Yeah,
great place and yeah, just lots of good things happened.
I need to I haven't made an album in Ireland yet,
which is ridiculous, so I need to go home and
do that there.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
What's the scene like the music scene is it is
it's good that you basically like their own kind? Or
do they kind of kick you out?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, it's very supportive, it really is. I think. Yeah, honestly,
like I've felt nothing but good things because I think
there's this sort of story, like you know, the way
some people decide they don't like you too just because
they're so successful. Stuff like that. There's a bit of that,
but also it's mostly good. Like when you play a show,
I think I take it for granted because in other
countries it might not be like that, but like, yeah,
you just there's nothing but support yet.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Sweeteah, in this country we got tall popy syndrome, which
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
You're yeah, no, I know what you mean. I think
there is some of that at home, but for the
most part, I don't know. You go home and play
to like fifty people. That feels sweet.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, that's what we were saying. My producer Grace was like,
there's something about Irish, like the Irish culture that really
supports their own. If they want someone to be big,
and if someone is big, they will support them and
back them until the end. Yes, I think who's the
radio show you used to work on, producer Grace, do
you know this radio sho Let's see if Dermot nice,
Dermot and Dave, Oh yeah, they've got see even in
(08:34):
