@@mash808 "I apologise, I seem to have arrived at home with items in my bag from your house... I hope we can still be friends" is John Prine-level greatness.
I remember as a very young teenager my parents letting me stay up on my own to watch No Disco. What a cool show!! The first of its kind in Ireland. That’s is how I got into alternative music.I thought Uaneenn was so cool and beautiful. She seemed a nice down to earth person that to be into that music you could just be an ordinary person. Can’t believe it’s been over 20 years since she has passed.
Good interview, but I’m not sure what Euros is driving at when he talks about downplaying one’s Welsh origins, like you’d sort of conceal the fact that you’re a Welsh band. The secret would be out the second you opened your mouth. Also, half your lyrics being in Welsh would be a bit of a giveaway as well.
It's great to watch this now in 2023, after seeing him last night in the 3 Arena, with nearly 8000 people singing along to his songs, twenty years later. All his worries that it would never last, that he'd had his one shot back then, that he'd missed his change to 'nail it' as he said, all the insecurity. He did nail it. And more than record sales or critical acclaim. He held an audience of every kind of Dublin people in his hand last night, they loved him.
I met Uaneen at a Lamb gig in the Olympia back in the day. I was 19 and loved No Disco. I was kind of starstruck meeting her, but she was so friendly, we had a good old chat like two regular people. She really was someone special, and a crucial part of my musical taste.
defo. I remember at one point Beck stopped the band just so they could watch the crowd do everything except watch Beck, building human pyramids, dancing in circles around trash bonfires. one of the wildest audiences I've been in.
