00:00 Oh my god, that's clever.
00:02 Hi.
00:03 We're here with Skate for Girls at Montgomery Festival.
00:06 First of all, how excited are you guys to be here?
00:08 Really excited.
00:09 Very excited.
00:10 Yeah, we love the Highlands.
00:11 It's awesome to be back here.
00:13 We've done a couple of Highlands and Islands tours.
00:15 We did a video here in Lossiemouth as well.
00:17 Yeah, and we played Forest up the road a couple of times.
00:21 So, yeah, it's always nice to be here.
00:25 I always ask fans when they come here,
00:27 "Do you like this part of the world? Are you here often?"
00:29 I know you guys are always here.
00:31 What is the attraction to Monty?
00:33 I don't know.
00:35 I think people love live music here.
00:40 They love gigs, and the audiences are always amazing.
00:43 When you're a live band, the thing you feed off is a great audience.
00:48 And a stunning backdrop.
00:50 I was going to say, you were going to say weather to start off with.
00:53 No, it's not the weather.
00:54 I thought about it.
00:55 Not the weather.
00:56 And it's so beautiful coming here.
00:58 When we've done the Highlands and Islands tours before,
01:00 they've essentially been long holidays rather than proper gigs, haven't they?
01:06 So, it's great to be back.
01:08 And you started in Lossiemouth about ten years ago.
01:11 I mean, I've still got the photos in the system at our work.
01:14 Really?
01:15 But on the beach, I think.
01:16 I know.
01:17 You've had a long association with the area, haven't you?
01:20 Yeah, I was thinking the kids who are in that video probably have kids of their own now.
01:26 Yeah, so it's a long time.
01:29 That was 2013 when we filmed the video for Millionaire.
01:32 So, yeah, we'll be playing that tonight.
01:34 So, it's good to take the song back home.
01:38 Really?
01:39 Yeah.
01:40 As you said, have you been around today to see the crowd,
01:43 and have you seen the other bands in action?
01:45 I've seen a few of the other bands in action.
01:48 This is like, we haven't done this festival before.
01:51 So, it's always exciting.
01:54 Especially, I think we've done every other festival in the country.
01:57 Ever.
01:58 So, it's amazing to do a festival for the first time.
02:01 So, yeah, I've been seeing the crowd.
02:03 So, I've had a long walk around Elgin.
02:05 And it actually wasn't that long, but I had to walk around Elgin.
02:10 And the castle, I was a little bit unimpressed with the castle.
02:14 More rocks than castle.
02:16 But I like the tower, and I love the people.
02:19 The people are really friendly.
02:20 So, it's going to be--we've just been to Boys Life.
02:24 We've just come off, and they said the crowd are mad for it.
02:26 So, yeah, exciting.
