 That was an absolute crap. You know what you said there's a one of the best names ever, right? I've had that many of us last week, but it was a belter of a night. Absolutely. And they've only planned a couple of gigs and I was going to tell you, I know probably the logistically It's not easy to shift the band to get around. No, it takes a bit of organization and fairness as I say to get to get What it was too good not to Oh, yeah, yeah, and then it's got a gig down in Dublin around the Springsteen concert Factory the weekend of the Springsteen concerts, I believe it's a Saturday night As I say, I'm we're in the Empire and Belfast. I believe now before I want to say before December I've never actually played the Empire yet. No, so I'm looking forward to used to go up the regular my daughter love him Belfast great escape and We went up the last time was up with as a number plan on right upstairs. It's just really really Great feeling. Yeah old style. Yeah Works and whatever you want to call it. You know no style building. Yeah, you'll enjoy that enough of that Yourself you've an album coming out. Well, I do. That's just some here here tonight to shamelessly plug myself So I have a new album coming out and next Thursday the 22nd of September It's called when the world was new It'll actually be my second album But I'm kind of excited about this one because when my last one came out Very much hit nearly straight after so as I said, I was so I'm kind of going second run here, you know Album fully of originals yet nine songs in through so We're gonna actually we're gonna play first we're gonna do is called the bitter end so it's a good place to start The beginning of the end Well, hey come on over make a game out of the worry and we'll call it something stupid like let's pretend That's him kind of chains more colored in and rearranged, but I can't say why this really means It's something major in my mind about the way we're given time and if you can't laugh about it You best pretend This time is all we have in me Keep trying just to see when this all goes in Let me see here the harvest fair. What a better way to spend the Monday It was a good day for me to spend them on the only down glint is brilliant Really enjoyed it. I have to say could have stayed a bit longer. Well, it's not done yet But we'll let you know don't you worry good evening Michael Zara Daniel and me and Jimmy from my dimming dog Demond thank you very much indeed and tomorrow and all the crew there from Savannah unplug Thanks for your e-message up on Facebook Thank you very much, and just before I move on it alert. Hello to Eden I was chatting in on Saturday down at Oakville and he said he's got it He's got a child's violin here, and he would love to donate it to The folks from the shimmers grant weekend. We'll pass that details on in. Thank you very much much appreciate it Right Michael. So yes, how long has this album been from right now to now? Right now till now interesting to you. I started probably again mostly everybody probably started chipping away at this in overlocked down and And for Zara here's been there since I started bashing things out around the kitchen table to the end product But no as I say and again very much those sort of second album syndrome I think we demoed about 40 odd songs or so for it But and then I've chipped it back and back and back and but I'd nearly finished it sort of last year And then decided I just didn't wasn't happy with it Didn't like it and figured this year and the start so started functionally January 2nd this year see this year Oh now I get that I totally get that because to me that's an artist who knows what they want And that's well important. Well, I think as someone said to me is nobody's probably gonna hear this more than I am So if I don't Yeah, I do think Recorded actually recorded actually at home. We have a sort of a music room at home sort of set up in that I'm very much so I'm a glutton for punishment in that way. So yeah, I do enjoy the challenge So when it comes to comes any those things between so the second one that's record the first one at home as well But so I said it's been it's been a real it's been a real portion I get a real kick out of the actual challenge of trying to push the thing forward and trying to problem-solving with it You know and it's been great because I said Daniel and board as well for a lot of recording processes timings are too So it's always good to have two people that are happy to criticize you openly. So Keeps you grounded, you know Enjoy that process of massively massively, you know, honestly like it's it's probably like a counterproductive thing And anybody would be telling me and this is the worst thing I could do in marketing But honestly, I think the process of making it does as much for me almost as anything else I know it's there and I'm satisfied and I feel like I've hit everything to where I wanted it to go That you know what it's Yeah, very much so, you know, I keep calling there like kind of life totem poles, you know Have you that work done or not our work and I was done and I want to throw a shout out and that actually to Mr. Steven Crane actually Steven is behind the al-air stuff and everything. I'm sure you know I that's yeah, so so Steven actually did all the artwork for the singles and stuff with me So we kind of bounced ideas back and forward and sort of an eventually I was like, you know, Steven Just come up with you something so so he made these fantastic sort of dreamy snow globe They're amazing You really knocked it out with that so it's been fantastic working with him So when can we expect it you say the album is coming out It'll be out online on September 22nd Well, yeah, no, we're chipping chipping rightly on cuz he could see at the same side I'm marrying this fabulous lady here now coming start of December. So I promised I'd have a lot of things We need a bit of free time at some point here Thank you very much Well, it's just it's all keeping with Daniel yourself what about music with you? What? Well, I play guitar for a long time playing cover bands mainly but I studied music in college over in Liverpool Oh, yeah, I did. Oh, you did. Sorry big apart. Yeah, so I'm playing bands original bands then but Yeah, I like working with people like Michael more than doing my own stuff. So Working on ideas together and Michael really had the vision and I just like given constructive feedback I didn't slay them too hard No, no, it's lovely just just a wee unsaid on yourself. So you're enjoying this process. I mean, that's really fun Yeah, and it's really good to do it again because it'd been a while since I got to do an original stuff So yeah playing cover bands mainly so And Zara, well, you've no choice in the matter I Was great it was great to have Daniel as well on board because as much as like my my fresh ears weren't so fresh after a while You know because I was hearing the songs all the time too when you're Michael singing them around the house all the time and then I'm like jumping in harmonies all the time You know like we're working on stuff and changing so it was great to have it was always great to have a fresh ear So likes of like Daniel listening to it and even even Steven listening to it. You know, there's a couple of people What is nice, you know what I mean for both of you as a couple is nice, you know, it's just You know what you want them to sound like and you know what these want to sound like together Yeah, yeah, actually give them some vocal lessons and everything we got Yeah, my my September to May job is you know Teaching privately singing and piano For those interview goals and more it sounds like I'm just using this wedding to con people in to make music What did he get in my right second of December Getting dates right here Well, we've we're on a date sound coming up We're two down done already. We were in the forest. We were in blixer last week now We're on we're the next one up is next Tuesday. We will be in We're doing the mousepiece here in the clinic It's great night. That's You know a lot of people talking about that venue They're doing a great thing with it and it's really great in his crowd and it's doing very very well But we're in that and then we're actually opening for the seager sessions Down in Kilkar the next date. That's the 30th of September. Is anybody done that neck of the woods? It might happen to see like double whammy of me Hop on board Later in October, but there's one other show I'd like to mention as well is October 10th There's before World Mental Health Day and on green in theater There is show happening that night as I'll be doing a brief short little talk at that about the benefits of creativity and mental health But also all the proceeds from that night will go towards the wellness cafes around Donegal So it is definitely a show worth We're loved to go into a second song and then we'll chat away about the album and this is one from the album This is one from the album. Yeah, this is the very first single came off of that. So, um, yeah It's called top of the world top of the world Okay I think it's just sort of thing like you would be a 60s vibe run throughout. No, I don't know There's either funny as touches of that would sit particularly in that we track actually The it's because the album really is a say funny even the entire process of actually recording it I tried to stop listening to almost Anything just was it would just because I find that I get led so far by different styles and you hear we think you're like Oh like that and I like this so only some people do the reverse and they listen to you Get inspirational I found this time I tried to streamline it down like as I say and I think then the whole monster generous just Daniel Johnson was the only thing We played just one person in the house the entire time So as I say, so you just you figured that way we get in but funny even that this is a even like working with down there too like that song in particular and he'd Because again on the album tracks seven isn't you know, it's in full band sequence and stuff But even with Daniel that time and I'd send him track and he was like, you know What were you thinking of what did you want for this and I'm a very visual person rather than because I don't maybe know the full Technicality of what's going on, you know I'm from the theory behind it But so I just sort of said to him was that I really kind of imagined it kind of being like mariachi skeletons playing it in like a CD bar First take he had the sound and I was just like that's it there Because there's a lot of singers right and you know you get an album or pair I preferably love listening to you know, we get music sent to the internet So you just basically listen to the phone, you know, yeah, but I love going on the on the head phones Yeah, when I'm birthday and I love I love it always when I can get this song and go put myself on a bar The respect and I get what you're saying there because you go It's fun that's something that's always like again I always find this you know a question somebody says what do you sound like it's always kind of I find this a bit of a tricky one answer But I was in the most common thing people always call the music I make a cinematic and very it is quite visual and mood kind of That's what it is it comes across well, so well, okay. Well, it's even better than so We'd love to get a third song Unfortunately, and you know what we could have sat and chatted these all night. Oh gosh. Well, just thanks so much for having The pleasure to be up here with you. Thank you. There's a pleasure to work because we're just a lead Have me up because you always bring that that both of you sorry about the both of these bring this You're describing manic energy This final song Song this is called to from the heart and this is actually the currently the track That was the last thing that came out of it now before the album's come out It's and and this is do you know what I'm actually really delayed This is actually probably the oldest songs on the album nearly everything else It's on there was written over like the very first song we did tonight was written the night before it was recorded and So straight in whereas this song now is quite as quite a few years Now sitting and I'm really delighted with where we where we got it to it was a song I was almost scared to record because I just wanted it to be right but But yes, there's a tooth in the heart and this is out there in Spotify and all things there now Thank you very much Product because if that dare grab G well, that's someone 22nd of September 22nd of September the album's out and it's called once again When the world was new and if people want to get in touch with Michael you can find me on Instagram Facebook all under Michael Gillespie or at its Michael G music and you find me on Twitter at its MG music as well Thank you very much And you know the thing about it, right as I said to you before like listening when it's right when that album was out I will be listening it on the phone I will be self set down in Perch and it's just something I look forward to doing you know like I love my textures I'll love the depth in the album and there's pockets of that in there if you're a fan of albums I think well, do you know this you have it in spades how the talent is just brilliant and as a combination of three He's well done and to me.
