00:00Honestly, this is a really big honour for me. I've loved Sam Fender for a very long time, and I've seen him play loads.

00:08Last time I saw him was at Metro Radio Arena. Fantastic. And my favourite song for Sam, if you are listening, is Hypersonic Missiles.

00:17So, you know, please do that one at your gig, because I've got a ticket, so I'll be there.

00:21So, yeah, honestly, a massive honour. I'm always in and out with the Metro, so to be able to play here is really awesome, yeah.

00:27What can Metro customers look forward to on the night, then, are you playing?

00:30All the good ones. All of Sam's good ones. Hypersonic Missiles, like I say, are my favourite.

00:35I'm going to get started, and honestly, I'm going to be picking out quite a few. 17 going under, obviously, as well, yeah, absolutely.

00:42And just tell us a bit about you. You were on The Voice, I believe.

00:45Yeah, I was on The Voice. It was quite a while back now. It was way back when I was in my teens, actually. I was 16.

00:51It was really fun. I got to meet Jessie G and everyone. I got a few good gigs out of it, too.

00:56So, yeah, I've kind of just kept pushing on, and music's my passion, so I'm definitely going to keep doing it, yeah.

01:01So, you're confident performing here, pulling off some Fender for the customers?

01:04Yeah, I hope they enjoy it. I mean, I love playing them, so, yeah, if everyone passing through loves it, that's great.
