Hi, is this Katie
0:01
It is, hiya. Hi, is now a good time to ask you a few questions about the band Blue
0:05
Yeah, that's right. The first question would be, when did you first fall in love with Blue
0:12
We're expecting four of them, but there's three of them here today. It's Blue! And three seems to be the magic number
0:19
It is the magic number. First of all, what's happened to Lee? So his baby is about to be born any day
0:26
So yesterday, the missus misses, when the baby dropped. so he's like
0:30
oh so it's head down yeah head down moved into position and they live in Portugal
0:34
so she was a bit worried that obviously he comes over today we've got a couple of days of promo to do
0:38
and the baby comes she's got three other kids so it was a bit of a worry
0:42
so what could we give a message to Lee then if he's listening what should we say to him
0:45
yeah cheers mate good luck good timing Lee good timing yeah yeah
0:52
cheers brother yeah he definitely would have planned ahead for this one yeah he's like
0:55
so that's quite a spread of kids we were just talking about kids and I can't believe how you've all got children that are all in their 20s
1:05
Well, Simon's is the oldest, presumably. Yeah, my little girl, Alana, 28
1:09
Not little. And Duncan, how old is yours? Mine's 20, 21 in Feb. Lives in Germany, full-time ballerina, it's mental
1:15
Oh my gosh. And Anthony, how old is your oldest? 21, 11 and 8, yeah
1:20
It's just unbelievable. The only reason why I mention that is because I remember when you guys started, I would interview
1:26
every other week and it was funny that Simon was the one that was the dad he still is daddy
1:31
he's the daddy who's the daddy don't do that man he's the daddy
1:35
it is funny it's great to see you guys all still together
1:40
and you I know you're best mates but it's 25 it's a long time Anthony
1:44
it is it really is and do you know what as you just said Jamie we're best mates
1:48
and it's testament to us as a band because we weren't so much put together
1:52
we sort of knew each other and it sort of grew organically
1:56
and 25 years later still singing the same old songs, but we've got some new stuff coming out
2:00
which is going to be exciting. Good, well, I was going to ask you about it because we've got an album. Just talk us through what's going to happen next year
2:05
because I know that you guys are putting the tools in here. Very busy. Just walk us through it. So what's the plan
2:08
Well, we're hoping. Well, we've just put on a UK tour for next year
2:13
This year we're off to Asia, which is pretty much sold out as well
2:17
So it's kind of like our 25th anniversary world tour, so we thought why not put some music together as well
2:22
to celebrate that as well. So is the album done or are you in..
2:27
The album's done, Jamie. It being mastered as we speak today It going to be released early part of next year January the 9th I believe Amazing Are you allowed to tell us what it called Reflections Oh I see what you did there You didn even ask bro You had that one didn you
2:41
Because we're reflecting on 25 years. What would you say was the greatest high and then the greatest low in 25 years
2:50
Ooh, that's a good one. Greatest high. Greatest high. We've had a lot of great highs, haven't we
2:54
Amazing. I mean, winning our first Brit in 2002, best British newcomer
2:58
That was like when the Brits were the Brits, you know what I mean? And it was proper celebrating music
3:03
And for us to get that in front of our peers was just unbelievable, man
3:07
The crazy thing was about that, the record company never told us anything. They were like, no, you're up for it, but we don't think you've won
3:13
because we would have been told. So we kind of were a bit like, oh, we're on it. And they called our name up, Blue, and we're like looking at each other
3:22
Do you remember who else was nominated that year? It was like Liberty X, right
3:26
A1. Okay. It's a pretty tough competition. Obviously, you've got to go through the lows to appreciate the highs
3:32
And I think when we sort of called it a day back in 2005
3:36
that was a bit of a low for all of us because we didn't know. Where do we go now? Yeah, what do we do
3:40
How do we do things? How do we pay a bill? How do we look after ourselves
3:44
So, yeah, that was a bit of a low for all of us. What's that time like? Because you get so used to everyone doing stuff for you
3:49
And it's so busy. It's not even that. It's so busy. Like when we've had the girls from Little Mix, it is relentless
3:56
to go from that to then wow I think the thing is also the mental case
4:01
and there was nobody really telling us how to deal with the mental health
4:05
side of things back then because you know we were young Lee was 16 when he got into blue
4:09
we were in our early 20s and it just went crazy around the world like mental
4:13
and then all of a sudden one day it just stops you know like uh uh uh
4:17
so it was really it was a bit like okay this is weird just get on with it yeah
4:22
well look your proof you're still going after 25 years It's great to have you guys back
4:27
So what we thought we would do is we thought we'd get in touch with a few of your fans
4:31
to see how they felt about what is, you know, a big milestone
4:35
So we've lined up some blue fans to take part in what they think is a survey about the band after 25 years
4:42
What they don't know is that it's you guys conducting the survey
4:46
Right, cool. Okay, so we're going to call them up. We've got a script for you there to follow
4:51
We want the four of you to ask the questions and we're going to see if our blue super fans know who it is they're actually talking to
4:59
Right, all right. Exactly. Yeah, that's fine. What's the first person called? The first person is Katie
5:03
Katie. So she a big blue fan Obviously she has no idea that all of her birthdays and Christmases are about to come at once Okay so here we got your script Do you know what you going to do
5:14
I'm going to leave it up to you boys. Here we go. Let's give Katie a ring. Hi, is this Katie

5:33

5:44
and I was 13 years old. Aww. Can you name all the members of the band, please
5:51
Yeah, Duncan, Lee, Simon and Anthony. Okay. If you had to rank one of the members from Blue
5:58
the most attractive, who would that be? I don't know they're all very
6:04
good looking in their own way but I'd say Lee again oh okay
6:07
