 Hello and you're very welcome to MPS Goals 2. I'm here at Westport Festival with the wonderful Paddy Casey. So Paddy, can I bring you back about 15 years ago to your first album? I'm tired. That's it. It was voted Hot Press' debut album of the year and by due most promising act of the year. I've always promised some people shit. Have they never followed through? Well that's fair enough what you did with this and one of the songs was picked off for Dawson's Creek. It was, yeah, I never knew that for a couple of years. I only found that now because it was on the compilation when it came out of Dawson's Creek compilation. So I actually never knew. Until that? There was a few things I didn't know about. I mean actually when I started touring in America a lot of people who came to the gigs had heard me true. Yeah, true that. And you do quite a bit of touring don't you? I keep most of the time. I try and keep all the time. I mean it's my bread and butter I suppose. And you were saying to me there as well that not only Dawson's Creek but you've had a few hits taken on for... Yeah, over the years there's been Cougar Town and Roswell which I never watched before. I'm not into aliens so I should have watched it. But I thought it was cool that it was on that. I think it was even in Coronation Streams on the hills which I wouldn't probably never have watched. And are they all from your debut album or are they from the... Funnily enough actually the songs were. Even though it was like 10 years on they actually picked songs from the first album. That's amazing from your first ever album to have that much coverage worldwide is just amazing. So can I bring you of order then to probably be the album you're most known for would be the album that bagged you, album of the year in 2004. Yeah, Living Dill and Raining really well. I mean I'm still making a Living Off Living. Yeah, now Living is kept at home for me you know. I mean Saints and Sinners which is is my biggest song was and yeah it's completely surprised for me because I didn't even want to release it as a single. Every time and even today you know like it was the first song where everyone just got up. It was amazing you know even whatever it's in 10 years on. Like it is 10 years on. It is yeah yeah 10 years on and still it's a household known song. Yeah it's a great song great song and you never get sick of singing it would you? No I never get sick of the reaction. I mean you know I do I enjoy it like it's good it's good rhythm and it's good. I thought about you recently enough when Ed Sheeran and Passenger released that No Diggity and oh yeah and that was that was Paddy Casey way before that. I heard on the radio once I think and yeah. You had that you had that done way before that one with grandma's hands and I was doing that actually back in the first time I did Oxygen our witness actually back in the beginning it was 99 or whatever that was the first time I played it. You were doing a jungle book earlier on as over into the King of the Swingers. Our cover is a big part of your set or? No I I started I played the jungle book by accident at the end of the night just ran into it I don't know how I think the rhythm reminded me of the song I started singing it and it was amazing like just the feeling of singing it was brilliant. Yeah and I just went kind of on that and the same. Yeah that was great and it was a great reaction from it as well. It's a good way to close off because if everyone's already up and they're kind of into it it's like why not just stay up and have a exactly yeah have some fun. So Paddy you've a new single coming out can you tell me a bit about that? And yeah I recorded a song with a girl called Kim Haydn Kim was on The Voice and she was really good and I didn't think she should have been knocked out or whatever so I sent her a message saying I taught you a way or whatever and then she got back to me and asked me would would I write some songs with her or whatever you know and I think we wrote we wrote a few but I think this was the first song we actually finished and we both loved it and why don't we just release it as a duet or whatever so so we're not we're not really going to make an album together or anything but we're going to maybe make a little EP you know. Cool just a small one. Small. So this is this is a duet and what kind of a song is it? It's a big super power ballad I mean it's kind of a sad song like but I think it's I think it's one of the biggest songs I've ever written. Okay cool. And when should we expect to hear it? It's it's going to radio now as we speak. Cool. As a man in the van. No I mean it's on it'll be on itching. So thanks a million Paddy. It's been wonderful talking to you and enjoy Tyrone. I was Paddy Casey here with MPS Goes To at Westport Festival.
