 Christmas San indeed for the last couple of months, making a huge impression. We're delighted to have them into the studio, they're gonna kick us off with their hit single the way I am, it's the Tumbling Patties. Oh. Stars, as I'm last to leave the bar, spend the weekends over drinking, Mondays over the day, it's just the way I am. And that has been for them over the last couple of months, great to have yous and lads and I know yous were in Tullamore last night as yous are probably wrecked Gareth, are yous? Oh, not too bad, David. Thanks for having us in, don't you? Yes, we're still motoring yet. Still motoring, I, we're home at 3 o'clock last night. I'm sure you'd have plenty of sleep once you thought it would be wrong with yous. So the Tumbling Patties, we have Gareth, Marty, John, Lee and Oshin, the five of yous together collectively known as the Tumbling Patties, yous have been out in the road now. How long's the band been together? We've been together about five years now and just before Coven all you're just starting to go well, we had a song out Pretty Girl. Yeah. We were just starting to make great waves the next thing, bang. And as opposed to a lot of people say, oh, it's that new band, the Tumbling Patties and geez, they were an overnight success, but people don't actually know that yous were together for five years and you know, working hard behind the scenes and I remember your manager coming in here a few times with your first singles and trying to promote yous and it's great to see yous now finally getting that break and that song that we've just heard there, The Way I Am, it was class song that's going down well at all the gigs, isn't it? It's going down great at gigs, thank God. Yeah, you'll be glad of it now, pure dog work, like put in over the years and stuff carrying speakers in and out of venues and stuff. So it's great to start finally seeing results. I know, but at the same time yous have been seeing results but yous are still sort of keeping your feet firmly on the ground. Yous are going to have to put up road signs after this, you know. It's not really the kind of rock star lifestyle where yous pull up in the bus and there's a wee man called John who puts up the signs for yous. Yous are still out there doing that yourself, so fair play. I have to put the hard work into it, you know. And how did the band actually come to be? Like how did it all start off? Kind of started off from, we got to know each other from music sessions and stuff, the trad scene and then Martin now was asked to do a wedding, a friend of his or something. It's all your fault, Marty. And he gathered up me and Lee and Kieran at first and then we kind of started playing together and then it was luck of how we'd been seen if we gathered here. Kind of just went from that, you know. Yeah, and it's been going from strength to strength. Yous are in the pulse tonight? Pulse, Lederkenny tonight, yeah. It's pay at the door, so if anyone's about Lederkenny, come on ahead in. So 2023 is going to be a big year. What's in store for us? And what's in store for the Tumbling Patties in 2023? Next year is a big year for us. We released our debut album there back in September. So this year hopefully we're aiming for a live album early 2023 and just hopefully just the gigs, there's plenty of gigs coming in and we're trying to get all around the country. There's still a lot of the country we haven't even got to. So we're trying to get into the new country. You're barred out of a few counties, Marty was saying. We're not too sure why, but we do know it's for some reason but maybe we shouldn't say it on air just in case we do get into trouble. Anyway, tell us why you are barred out of Kilkenny. LAUGHTER Actually, no, the Tumbling Patties, I wasn't even playing. Let me smack you in the one night. We're not going to sing on that night. Well, you know, if the one night's good. All right, listen lads, fair play to you, but now you guys, I don't want to be too sore on you but John was saying that you don't carry any gear as well, is that true? I carried it off over the years. The arms are sore from carrying the rest of the lads. There you go. Listen lads, yous are absolutely flying it out there and know that yous are heading down to the Pulse to set up so we don't want to keep yous too much longer but thanks a million for dropping in to see us and we want to wish yous a very merry Christmas and all the very best in 2023. There's plenty of people texting in here to say best wishes to you and that they love your music. You're in the Pulse tonight, you can come along, pay at the door. What time are you hitting the stage tonight? I think we're hitting the stage at 12 o'clock tonight so the doors are open at 11 so trying it in early was going to be a massive night. And if you see people looking suspicious or getting in trouble, don't be ringing the guards. It's only the Tumbling Patties putting up... Putting out the road sign so don't panic. Glad you used my place out with the song, will you? We will indeed. We're going to do one from the water rise. This is called Fisherman's Blues and thanks very much for having us, David. You're a great support to us so thanks so much for having us. Here's the Tumbling Patties. Well, I wish I was a Fisherman on the seas. It's a better casting out my sweet line. Coming in to see us, happy Christmas. Go and see them, they're in the Pulse tonight. That's the Tumbling Patties.
