Transcript

00:00This is Daisy Peacock, Chris Hallam, the Sheffield Star and Daisy are performing today?

00:06Yes, I've just performed.

00:08Just performed? On what stage?

00:09The Love Mill stage.

00:10And how was it?

00:11It was amazing. Yeah, my favourite show I've ever done. It was amazing.

00:14Favourite show you've ever done?

00:16Yeah.

00:17Okay, and you performed with your band, didn't you?

00:19Yes.

00:20So what songs were you performing for us today?

00:22So we did all my original songs.

00:25I just write about my life and stuff that happens to me.

00:28I try and be as honest as possible.

00:30And yeah, they're great.

00:32I write them by myself and then we put them all together with the band.

00:36It was really fun to get to do it.

00:38And you had your debut single, You Don't Want Me Enough.

00:42That earned you your first Top 10 spot in both Song Academy's Young Songwriter Competition

00:48and Citrus Records' Song of the Year list.

00:51That was amazing.

00:53Well done.

00:55I was listening to that one yesterday while I was driving back over to Sheffield.

00:59So that calmed me amidst all the road rage from all the terrible drivers.

01:04So basically you stopped me from swearing blood.

01:08So it's quite calming even though you were talking about pain.

01:12So you don't want me enough.

01:14What's it about?

01:16So I kind of wrote it about like realising that you're in a relationship where like

01:21your person just isn't really given you enough.

01:24And you're actually like they're kind of settling.

01:26And you like either part you should settle.

01:28I mean I've got a song that's not me settling.

01:30But this one was kind of meant to be like flipping on this head a little bit.

01:33But of like realising you know what I don't think we're right for each other.

01:38But that's okay.

01:39Yeah.

01:40Yeah.

01:41It's okay.

01:42No.

01:43But it's a lovely song.

01:44I recommend you give it a listen.

01:46Folks if you haven't already.

01:48So get it on your Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music or buy it and give her the money.

01:52Everyone loves money.

01:54Don't you Daisy?

01:55Bring on the funds.

01:57And Daisy is a little background.

02:02Correct me if I'm wrong here.

02:03Daisy's from Sheffield originally.

02:05You're Birmingham based now.

02:07Yeah.

02:08I'm at uni so I can't have between the two really.

02:10So you don't talk with a Broomy accent?

02:12No.

02:13Do you know what?

02:14I've not even got the Sheffield accent either.

02:15I'm just a bit in the middle really.

02:16It's alright.

02:17I'm from Sheffield originally.

02:18I moved down to the Midlands.

02:19Oh really?

02:20I came back afflicted with the Midlands accent.

02:21Did you?

02:22Yeah.

02:23I still have it and then I've spent years trying to.

02:26Undo it.

02:27Trying to get back to being in Yorkshire.

02:29So obviously you've done really well with your initial single.

02:34And you've got four out so far.

02:38Three.

02:39You've got Valentine's Day, While It Lasted and Beautiful.

02:44Yeah, Beautiful is from a long time ago.

02:46But you know, it's so common.

02:48It's funny that you wrote a song about me and never met me.

02:50But it's alright.

02:51It's fine.

02:52We move.

02:53Anyway.

02:54So, obviously, songs aside.

02:57You've recently been touring and supporting the likes of...

03:01I've supported Arthur Jokes last year which was amazing.

03:04I've got Daydreamers who are actually performing later on today.

03:07I just saw them when I came off the stage.

03:08It was fun girling a little bit after today.

03:10And Danny Mellon who's also performing later on today.

03:14And Blonde.

03:15And Blonde.

03:16Yeah.

03:17And how's it been so far?

03:18Yeah, I know.

03:19So much fun.

03:20I love getting to support artists because it's so fun to get to play to their fan base.

03:23And meet them and help new people find my music.

03:28Yeah.

03:29I love playing shows.

03:30It's my favourite part of support artists.

03:33Cool.

03:34Yeah.

03:35Cool.

03:36And so, obviously, you've been on Oraday from the stage.

03:40Where can people hear you or see you next?

03:43Why not festival next weekend which I'm really excited for.

03:46Oh really?

03:47And then I'm playing in Nottingham in September the 29th I think.

03:52Where up?

03:53The old bus depo.

03:54Oh okay.

03:55I've never actually played Nottingham before so I'm really excited for that.

03:57And then a small Birmingham bunch of people dates to be announced very soon.

04:01And new music to be announced very soon as well.

04:03New music?

04:04Yes.

04:05When?

04:06I can't say exactly when yet but it'll all be...

04:11I did play new songs in my set just then so that was kind of a sweet preview.

04:19And how's that gone across?

04:20Yeah, yeah, really good.

04:21I was really impressed with how many people were there.

04:23I didn't think because I'm obsessed with opening the stage.

04:25I didn't think it would be too cool but I was very pleasantly surprised.

04:29And are you going to be sticking around over the course of this weekend?

04:31Yeah, absolutely.

04:32I was here last night so cool which is insane.

04:34How was?

04:35Do you enjoy it?

04:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.

04:37It was really good.

04:38I'm looking forward to hopefully see our daydramals here.

04:41I mean everyone really.

04:42And we're back tomorrow as well.

04:43Making the most of it.

04:44Okay.

04:45Well, see you around.

04:46Say hello.

04:47Yes.

04:49It's been a pleasure.

04:50Thank you so much.

04:51Short but sweet.

04:52And your second single, Valentine's Day, which blends a unique production and heart-wrenching

04:59lyrics with a soaring chorus to create an anthem from the universal feeling of unrequited

05:04love.

05:05That's who his blank blog said that about that song.

05:08But yeah, check out Valentine's Day.

05:10That's a good one as well.

05:12Throw in your feels.

05:14Throw in your feels.

05:15In your feels, yeah.

05:16In your feels.

05:17There they are.

05:18It's all about being in the feels.

05:19That's the vibe.

05:20So, yeah.

05:21Thank you very much.

05:23From all of us at the Sheffield Star, we wish you the best of luck.

05:25And the image of her shoes.

05:26Thank you very much.

05:27Thank you very much.

05:28Thank you very much.

05:29Thank you very much.
