00:00So, you've come back to McMurray, what brought you back here?

00:03Oh, I have the promoter from the McMurray festival, he made me mental, begging me,

00:11please come back, people are asking for you. I had, yesterday we had shows in Norway and it was

00:17impossible to come over here with flight connections, so we really did all my best to

00:22come because I didn't want to disappoint the people. So, last time we came we had such a

00:27great connection and I said, I have to do all I can or we can to be over here and we made it,

00:33so we're here. But it was worth it, the crowd didn't cry for you, they really enjoyed that.

00:38Actually, we do it for the crowd, darling, I mean, everything you do in life is giving better

00:43than receiving, but in this place you give and you receive as an energy exchange, yeah, so we love it.

00:50As well, you wore the Scotland's flag.

00:53I wore it as respect to Scottish people, I know how nationalistic they are, a little country,

01:00they're very proud of their own flag, so to integrate with this crowd, to put your Scottish

01:06things, it makes things that it's like to thank them for all the energy they give you, you know,

01:12should be polite in life.

01:13Well, I think it was probably quite appreciated by the crowd.

01:17I do, I'm sure they did because you can see what a great time we had. I think

01:21there's no one act will top what we have done right now tonight, so they all go home.

01:28And did you get a chance to go down to Elginathal or explore the highlands a bit?

01:33Not much, but we did appreciate the cathedral as we came in, that's stunning.

01:38Actually, what she did, she invited me to chips, fish and chips.

01:41Yeah, he's never had fish and chips until today in Scotland, Annie, well, tell us, what did you think?

01:46I loved it, actually, what I loved the most that she paid it, so...

01:50Everything tastes better when somebody else is paying.

01:52It's the first time, so it tastes better when she paid it, so I never...

01:56How much restaurant you went to?

01:57No, it is a local fish...

01:58It's a fish that should be right under the bridge in Cullin.

02:02I loved it, actually, it really was, and then we have eaten it in front of the sea in a little

02:06bunch.

02:07Yeah, yeah.

02:07Dinner, so, and then we were feeding...

02:09Attack of the seagulls.

02:10I was feeding the seagulls together, so it was like, Scotland cannot complain about me.

02:15Proper Scottish experience.

02:17Even the seagulls, they cannot complain about me, they had great food with me.

02:21Giving and giving and giving.

02:22Yes.

02:23And do you have any choice after this?

02:25Oh, yes, we're such a f***ing busy, I mean, you know what?

02:31Actually, you should even don't remind me this, because I just had a great time, if I think

02:36all the world tour I have to do, I get like, I get like anxiety out of it, because...

02:41We're staying the moment, we're staying the moment.

02:43We have to go to America, we have to go to South Africa, we have to go to Australia in

02:47our country, we have to go to a few countries more, and so I prefer to come back here.

02:52Yeah, I really enjoyed that.

02:54Thank you, it was a good time, really.
