 Hey guys and welcome to MPS Goes to Sea Sessions. We just arrived here at the campsite, we're soaking wet, we just got the tent up, but we're all buzzing, it's going to be a great weekend, so let's all go get locked. Welcome to Sea Sessions, what's your name? Finn. Finn, what a lovely name, Finn. What is your formula for a healthy breakfast here at Sea Sessions? Vagge. Who are you guys here to see? Err, Example. Example, can you give me an example of a few more acts? Rolling Empire, we're here to see Rolling Empire. Oh it's unbelievable, I only hear about half an hour, and it is unbelievable, Sigma paint over there, don't know who they are over there, but they're really good, just buff it away. You guys are here to see this weekend. What I wonder is why a guy who gets so seasick would come to a festival called Sea Sessions? Because we're in Bondor and that's right guys, so how do you pick up the Vagge? You're here to hear first NPS, Andrew Gleeser reporting live from Sea Sessions. We're here with the academic, guys how are you today? We're good, man. Absolutely fantastic set I have to say, so how are you enjoying Sea Sessions over? Yeah it's been cool, we just arrived here, we were in London yesterday and then we got here, so we're kind of just taking it all in, you know, checking out what's to see, just skateboards and stuff, so it looks cool. You guys are playing with the strokes, like the strokes and Beck in London, how was that for you guys? It was nuts, it was such a crazy day, like we're only like four lads from, you know, the middle of this country and then to be over there and like sitting around all those people, heavy hitters, it's a massive honour for us to play with a band that we all love and have grown up to just be inspired by kind of. So you have a single out called Different. What is different now compared to, let's say, a year ago for the academic? Well, we only rode it in January, and then we recorded that same month as well, so it was kind of a flash in the pan, but you still get the same kind of vibe off, especially live, you know, like hearing people sing in the back, it's, you kind of never lose that, well we haven't lost the head anyway, so it's still got the little magic going on. It seemed like the crowd were absolutely bopping, were you delighted when you saw it filling up towards the end of set? These festival things are tricky, you know, it's like half an hour before you go on and people have left the tent and you're kind of setting up and you have no idea, but like people started coming in and we left different near enough at the end, so it felt like nearly like a party or something, it was cool. MPS goes to sea sessions, you heard it here first, the academic, absolutely great set tonight, thank you guys so much for talking to us. Well hello and welcome to day two of MPS goes to sea sessions. As you can see, it's a beautiful day here in Mondoren. The fish are swimming, the birds are singing, the butterflies are singing, so we're just going to head out and see what the crock is, see how everyone's getting on. Where are we? We're here at Rockhouse Pilfer After, an absolutely electric performance on the main stage in sea sessions. Guys, how are you getting on? Good, yeah, tired. So after such a great performance, can you just tell us first off? What is Rockhouse Pilfer's super secret magical formula to a great show? Lager. You heard it here first. Can you tell us a bit about your influences and where the music comes from? Well, all of us have, I suppose, different kind of backgrounds in music. The drummers' family come from a long line of country kind of singers and things like that. And I suppose my family's musical leases as well. And we all are into folk and blues from our family, like our mums and dads and our granddads and stuff. So that's kind of how it is all. And figure the fiddle player is a long traditional Irish kind of music background as well. And the harmonies and stuff, where does that come from? Do you guys kind of just, would you just kind of come up with them on the spot when you're playing? Or do you just kind of figure them out more theoretically? It's pretty organic. Like, we all fall into the right register sooner or later, you know? He's got a high voice. I've got a low voice. I'm the one that takes the choir by poker. Final question. Are you guys going to stay for the rest of the festival? And are you here? Do you want to see anyone in particular? We'd love to stay in CCC, Steve, but we've got to go and do another gig tonight. So, lads, well done on the performance. Thank you so much for talking to us, guys. We'll see you next time. Cheers. Just a quick sign out, guys, here from the whole team at C-Sessions. We've had an absolutely fantastic weekend, perfectly obvious accommodation situation. But stay tuned for more festivals, guys, from MPS. It's going to be absolutely fantastic. So thank you so much from myself, Phil, Steve, and Emmett. It's been absolutely fantastic. See you, guys, next time.
