00:00 Alright Gareth, you're at McMurray Festival, how have you enjoyed your day and how did you enjoy your set just now?
00:07 Yeah it's been really great, I really enjoyed performing up in Scotland, it's always a great, great audience
00:15 and the receptions always fantastic for me up here so it was great to be a part of this great festival
00:22 and I hope to be back in the future.
00:25 Good yes, people always say Scottish crowds are special, is that something that you do believe yourself?
00:29 Yeah you often find that the further north you go, the better the crowds are, you know, and we're right at the top of Scotland now so yeah, it's great.
00:41 You like to interact with the crowd and there was a nice moment where you went and high-fived and you know, really made everyone feel part of the show.
00:48 Yeah absolutely, you know the crowds have come out to see artists like myself, you know, if, if, if I'm able to get down off the stage you know and interact with the audience then I always do.
00:58 Great and you, you had just about a little bit of trouble getting back on the stage but you managed to do that as well.
01:04 It's a very, very high stage, you know, and it was actually hard, hard getting back up you know, but I had to, you know, pull something out of the bag, I got back on the stage and it was all okay.
01:15 Are you hanging around for the rest of the day now or is that you're going to be away now?
01:19 Yeah I'm gonna, I'm gonna stick around see a few acts, yeah and then I'm heading back down to, to London, yeah.
