00:00So we're here today at the Ooft Licence, so if you'd just like to introduce yourselves.

00:04Hello, I'm Sean.

00:05And I'm Connor.

00:06Amazing, and this is LF System. So, tell us why we're here today.

00:10We're here at the Ooft Licence to celebrate lager and have a good time, a wee party.

00:15That's exactly it, that's exactly what we're here to do and hopefully we do that.

00:19Tenants is the drink of Scotland, so tell me your experiences with it.

00:23It started when I was 18 years old, going out to pubs. First pint probably that I had and I've just loved it ever since.

00:31Aye, it's a lovely pint and I've always enjoyed it.

00:37It's gluten free now.

00:39It's gluten free aye, so I've enjoyed it until I couldn't enjoy it, but now I can enjoy it again because it's gluten free.

00:46So you guys have been all across the world in the last few years, you've knocked Kate Bush off the charts.

00:52So, tell me about that, tell me where you are now, how you've enjoyed it.

00:56Aye, it's been a mad couple of years because we were still working our day jobs like two years ago.

01:00So, to be doing this as a full time job has been mad, it's been amazing.

01:04Aye, it's been mostly ups, but obviously it still is a new experience and it still comes with new challenges, but it's the best job in the world.

01:15They call it a job because it's a bit funny as well, but aye, it's been the best day of my life so I can't complain.

01:20It's funny because I think we never looked back for maybe a year and a half, because it was all just a bit of a whirlwind,

01:25and then I think we finally took it into account what had all happened and it's quite surreal when you look back at it all,

01:31because the last two years it's been so full on.

01:35Sometimes you have to remind yourself, actually think about what you've done to then take it in,

01:40because sometimes you're just on this rollercoaster and sometimes you're full steam ahead and you forget to put the brakes on

01:45and then you actually look back and appreciate what you're doing.

01:48But aye, it's the best thing that's ever happened to me, so I've loved every second of it.

01:53It's nice to be home. It's funny when you're away, you're having a great time, but you're always longing to come home to Glasgow,

01:59so aye, it's really nice to be here and with tenants as well, so aye, it's amazing to be back.

02:04Aye, there's no place like home, as they say, and being away so much, it makes you appreciate this place more.

02:13So when you do get back, you do get that time back home and you get to do stuff like this,

02:17and the UK tour coming up as well, doing a lot of Scottish bits in the tour,

02:22so aye, it feels amazing just to be home and it's also nice to be avoiding planes for a wee while, so aye, it's good.
