 Hello and you're very welcome to MPS Ghosts to Westport Festival. I am sitting here with the wonderful David Gray. David, it's an honor to have you. Hey, thank you. How are you? I'm very good, yeah. I hear you're a bit sore after today. Tell me about... Well, yes. I've been out cycling 30k along the cycle path here. Amazing. Beautiful day. Got lungfuls of fresh air. I'm buoyed up now for the show. Yeah, no better warm-up for a gig, I'm sure. Perfect. So, you're about to go on stage, David. You're touring your new album. Can you tell me a little bit about that? Yeah, I'm very excited about it and it seems to be getting a great reaction. It feels like a real return to the source of my music. It was a kind of painful, difficult record to make, but it was worth all the effort because we got something special, I think, in the end. And yeah, now we're getting to sing it all live. So, tonight I'll be doing a mix of old and new. Okay, great. And of course, you're a huge, huge hit in Ireland. I believe your single, Babylon, was number one for six weeks here, which was absolutely amazing. I didn't know that statistic. No? I know. Well, there you go. Some crazy stuff happened. It was a wonderful time and I'm back for more. Back for more now. We'll sell the new album, Mutineers, soon. So, there's a new single coming out as well after that. Back in the world, it's been out for a little while. Yeah, so that's the first single off the record. I think there's going to be a few singles off this record. So, the album dropped yesterday, I think, here and it comes out in the UK on the 30th. So, it's all go at the moment. It came out in America. It's just gone in at number 15 in the US album chart, which is pretty good. Yeah, fantastic. So, yeah, it's full on at the moment. Brilliant. Well, I look forward to hearing it later. So, have you had a chance to explore the festival at all, David? I have, yeah. I'm very impressed. I'm very impressed by this place. It's a special place, definitely. So, there's good vibes coming off the trees and the water and the sky and the mountains. So, it's a privilege to be singing music in a place like this. Yeah, there really is a lovely atmosphere on the place. Oh, yeah, it's got a sheltered atmosphere too. So, it does, it feels like a special thing. It's like, it reminds me a bit of Dingle, the town. It's got the same sort of west coast thing and there's lots of little restaurants and pubs and a vibe and everyone's very up for it. No, it's a great thing. Great, great. And had you ever any more festivals planned in Ireland? I do. I've got two coming up. I've got the, I don't know, the Day Tripper and the Groove festivals, one of which is in Waterford, the other is in Wicklow. So, they're coming up next weekend. Well, we hope to catch you there. Thanks a million for joining us, David. I'm best to look later on. So, that was David Gray on MPS Goes to Westport Festival.
