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 happened to Lee? So his baby is about to be born any day
0:26
So yesterday, the Mrs. Mrs. went, the baby dropped. so he's like lads
0:30
oh so it's head down head down 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 cheers brother
0:52
yeah he definitely would have planned ahead for this one yeah he's like so that's quite a friend
0:57
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 well simon's
1:05
is the oldest presumably my little girl alana 28 not little and duncan how old is yours mine's 20
1:12
21 in feb lives in germany full-time ballerina is mental oh my gosh and anthony how old is your
1:17
oldest 21 11 and 8 yeah yeah the only reason why i mentioned that is because i remember when we
1:24
would when you guys started yeah i would interview every other week and it was funny simon was the
1:28
one that was the dad he's still his daddy it is funny it's great to see you guys all still together and you i know you're best mates
1:42
but it's 25 is a long time anthony is it it really is and it do you know what as you just
1:46
said jamie we're best mates and it's testament to us as a band because uh we weren't so much put
1:52
together we sort of knew each other and it sort of grew it organically and uh 25 years later still
1:57
singing the same old songs, but we've got some new stuff coming out which is going to be exciting. Good, but I was going to ask you about that
2:02
because we've got an album. Just talk us through what's going to happen next year because I know that you guys are putting the tours in
2:06
Very busy, yeah. Just walk us through it. So what's the plan? 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
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. 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'd have been told. So we kind of were a bit like, oh, we're on it. And then they called our name out 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. it's a very tough competition obviously you've got to go through the lows
3:31
to appreciate the highs and I think when we sort of called it a day
3:35
back in 2005 that was a bit of a low for all of us because we didn't know where do we go now
3:39
yeah what do we do? 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
3:54
it is relentless to go from that to then wow I think the thing
3:59
is also the mental case and there was nobody really telling us how to deal with
4:04
the mental health side of things back then because you know we were young Lee was 16
4:08
when he got into blue we were in our early 20s and it just went crazy
4:11
around the world like mental and then all of a sudden one day it just stops
4:15
and you're like uh uh uh so it was really it was a bit like okay this is weird
4:20
just get on with it yeah well look your proof you're still going
4:24
after 25 years It's great to have you guys back. 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
4:39
about the band after 25 years. What they don't know is that it's you guys conducting the survey
4:47
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 Oh my God So here we got your script you know what you going to do
5:14
Yes, sure. I'm going to leave it up to you boys. Let's do it. Here we go, let's give Katie a ring
5:21
Hi, is this Katie? It is, hiya. Hi, is now a good time to ask you a few questions about the band Blue
5:28
Yeah, that's fine. Great, it should only take a few minutes. Are you able to answer the questions
5:33
Yeah, that's fine. Brilliant. Thank you so much, Katie. The first question would be
5:37
when did you first fall in love with Blue? Oh, it was in 2001
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 good looking in their own way, but I'd say Lee again
6:07
Oh, okay. I'm going to come in. Katie, it's Jamie and Amanda here on Heart Breakfast. Hello. Hiya. Hiya
6:15
I've got a little confession to make. The people that were asking the questions were blue, wasn't they? Yes
6:21
I actually slipped up there, Katie, because Lee, you didn't pick up on it, so I just went quiet
6:28
You didn't pick up on it. as soon as Simon spoke I was like that's totally Simon
