• 0:17
  Speaker 1: We're good. It's the Just Getting Started World Tour, which
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: is something of an oxymoron because you're celebrating 30 years
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: in the music biz.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: It's actually 33 years. 33.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to age either of us anymore.

• 0:44
  Speaker 4: this more than I ever have.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, I think I'm only really getting going. This
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: album has re-energized me. I'm feeling very excited. It's a
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: new chapter in my life. I said goodbye to Boyzone
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: in June. We did two big shows at Emirates Stadium
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: in London. And I'm just ready to, yeah, I'm ready
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: for this next chapter.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Are you still a property owner down in this part
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: of the world?
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, we have a home in Sydney. Yeah, we
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: love it.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And we come down for as long as we can.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: We have a home in Dubai and then back here
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: in the UK. I'm in the UK at the moment.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Talk about closing chapters. When the fans come to these
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: shows on the Just Getting Started World Tour, will we
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: get a celebration of both Boyzone and the solo stuff?
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, very much.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: It's a big show. It's got boys on in there.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It's got my solo stuff, a couple of surprises. And,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: you know, they all sing in all dancing costumes and,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you know, chaos that, you know, I love and that
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I've never brought to Australia before.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: So I'm very excited.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: And of course, we see you on the TV screens,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: on The Voice.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I love it. You know, you know, I do.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: My wife's an Aussie. My kids are half Aussie. Yeah,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: so I love it. And to be on The Voice
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and the talent this year has been phenomenal.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: You have two very different acts. It comes down to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: 64 and Layla. She's pretty amazing, but she's so young. Now,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you started young.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, she is. Giving her lots of tips.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably the best one to advise her and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: maybe her mum. I don't know.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You know, I was 16 when I started and I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: see the pitfalls and I see the issues and the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: problems and I am scared for her. She's so young,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: but I've never heard a voice like it. I mean,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: she is incredibly talented. I don't know where that voice
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: comes from, how someone at 12 years of age can
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: be that good. Yeah.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: It's quite incredible.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You have had so many hits over the years. What
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is the one that really gives you goosebumps though when
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the audience sings it back to you?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, look, there's nothing like when you say nothing at all,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: when you play those first chords and just the reaction
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: from the audience is incredible. They just go crazy as
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: soon as they hear the chorus before I even start singing.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: And then when you get to the end of the chorus,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: by then they're just all singing. The whole thing, the room,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: it's so special. It's such a privilege to have a
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: song like that and be part of it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: It must have been so satisfying to come out of
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: a big boy band like Boyzone, which is you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: at the time was such a big thing in music.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: And then to be able to crack at solo as well,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: you must have gone, yes.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: It was nerve-wracking. I didn't know what was going to happen.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Being in a band that big and it all happening.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And you hear it so many times that, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: band members go solo and it doesn't work. And, you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: there was obviously that fear. But having the stepping stone
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: and I guess the safety blanket of Notting Hill, the movie, Whereas,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: you know, so I was kind of still in Boyzone
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: when that song was released. It was like testing the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: water as a solo artist.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: And then it worked. And globally it worked. It worked
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: down here.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Huge. It really did. I feel very lucky. Very, very lucky.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Also, aside from music, you've dabbled in a little of
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: what we do. You can relate to our hours. You
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: know the feeling of getting it up at stupid o'clock
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: to put on a radio show. But you gave that
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: up recently.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: I gave it up about two years ago now. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: did it for seven years on Magic Breakfast in London.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: It was brilliant. Brilliant. I love it. And the power
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: of radio as a medium.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I got to really appreciate and understand it so much more.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: You know, also, you know, with this new campaign, I've
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: got a new album on the way and I said
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: it to my team. I said it to the international
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: department on the record label. I said, I don't want
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to do interviews on Zoom. If I can be there,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I want to be in the studio because I get it.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: It's hard as, you know, a DJ. interviewing people on Zoom.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: So I appreciate you guys doing this for me, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: if I could be, I'd much rather be in Perth
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: in the studio with you.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Trust me.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: You can see there's a seat here for you. You're
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: welcome any time.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: That you're in Perth. It's always good to have a
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: guest who knows what it means when the red light's
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: on and you've got, you know, the rules of the studio.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah. 100%. It aged me 10 years, honestly. It's a lot.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Well, we look forward to having you in town in
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: March to celebrate a big milestone birthday and a big
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: milestone tour. Lovely to chat to you, Ronan.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Great to see you and talk to you. Thank you.
