Five

If you were a bit edgy and you were listening to Dancer, for example, you'd be listening to East 17.

And that was something I was listening to with Westlife and Five.

And this was something I was listening to at school.

Do you agree with Fáith or do you agree with Westlife because of the core of this? And again, this is something that I think is monoculture, that something is there, that it's, you know, a group and that there's a relationship there because of the language.

How can I stay involved? How can I help people? And he came up with an idea and I think it's quite a while ago now, but he put a message up on a notice board, something along the lines of, you know, Walk, run, chat, coffee, Saturday morning, 9 a.m.

Five people turned up and next week it was 10.

The following week it was 25, 50.

And it grew and grew and grew.

You want to take on the world.

We talked about growing up in Chicago and his dad being a real hard worker, tough worker and a very, very proud Irishman.

Scott Robinson from Five.

Well, that's an interesting one.

Anyway, when I went there, it was a Saturday morning, and they were doing SMTV, and you guys were there, and I can't remember, there was a few other bands or whatever, but obviously you guys were there.

Five Steps, You're Blue, that type of...

All them sort of bands, but I remember you used more than anything else, but...

Anyway, I went in and Nicky Chapman said, you know, I'm sorry, you're not in the band and all this.

I think it was the first audition I went for.

I think they said something to me.

Um, yeah, it was, it's just, even thinking back to it now, you know, it's kind of like, it fills me with like dread, you know what I mean? Cause I was, it really was like putting myself out there, you know, And in an environment where you can't control the outcome, I'd seen other people that had been on the show years before, like Sean from Five and Kerry Ellis.

They went on The Voice and didn't get any terms.

They're like, no, it's not for us.

So he went to five.

Remember Five, the British boy band, had a song, When the Lights Go Out, and their name was spelled the number five, I-V-E.

I-V-E,

yeah.

Five passed on it.

So now we're getting to the fourth artist that he's offering this song to, and she had not released any music.

She was recording her debut album, so she's like, I'll take it.
