THE CARTER TWINS
Fresh from their Performance on stage, and ready to rush off to their
next appointment, the Carter Twins, Tony and Stephengave us a few minutes
for an interview! So, lads, remember...please speak towards this radio
recorder.....
TONY : Hey, this is a radio!!
STEVE: We¹re live, ON the radio.( In true Chandler Bing style!)
1. How did you feel when you heard your song on the radio for the first
time?
Tony: First time, we were only saying that Today ,actually! It was
fantastic!
Steve: I think the first time I heard, it, it was Lorcan Murray playing
it, its the best feeling.
****************************************************************
2. What do you think of the Castlebar crowd here?
Tony: Brilliant! It¹s the biggest crowd we¹ve had yet! Even bigger that
Dublin!
****************************************************************
3.Have the two of you ever had any physic experiences?
TOGETHER: No!!
Tony: Thats because really, we know each other so well.
Steve: Yeah, we¹re together now, nearly 22 years.
****************************************************************
4.We heard today a story that TONY FENTON asked you how you met each
other?
Steve: That¹s right, yeah. First time ever on the Hotline.
Tony: (doing an impression of Tony) "How did you guys meet?"
(this makes us laugh, and finally when we calm down we continue
the interview!)
Tony: He never lived it Down!!!!
****************************************************************
3. How did you feel when you won the Smash Hits Roadshow "Best newcomer"
award last year?
Tony: Oh, that was brilliant. We started out, doing the Tour for the
first 2 weeks
Steve:It was a bit nerve wracking...after only 2 weeks of performing,
to perform in front of 20 million viewers.
Tony: Very nerve wracking!
****************************************************************
4: How did you feel about your single, ³12th Of Never² entering the
Irish Charts, higher than it did in the English Charts?
Steve: Well... The English Charts are very hard to Break into. Once
you¹re in there, its o.k., but to get in there, its VERY hard.
Marie:-- But Irish people know you better anyways, Don¹t they?
Tony: Yeah, because we¹re Irish.
****************************************************************
5. Have you any special messages for your Galway fans?
Steve: We¹d like to Thank them all, we were in Eyre Square centre today,
and we¹re touring the whole West of Ireland for the next 4 or 5
weeks.
Tony: We¹re actually doing a gig, now, straight after this here.
(they're busy guys!!)
****************************************************************
6. This is a question that a die hard CARTER TWINS fan requested we
put in...
Do you appreciate what your fans do for you??
Us: (guess who put that in?)
Tony: Siobhán?
(we start to laugh, again)
Steve: yeay!
Sinéad: I think it was actually Zara...
Marie: Sinéad got the bus here with them.
(for anybody interested, Siobhán, Zara, Elaine and Charleen were 4 girls
from Dublin who stalk (!) the Twins everywhere, and who were mad
enough to spend their last fiver getting to Castlebar, with no way home,
no money for food and no where to stay!! )
Tony: When we go home, which isn¹t that often, the Fans are always
waiting on us, and we get to talk to them and have a great laugh.
Steve: So, to answer her question, yes, we appreciate what the fans do
for us...
Tony: Of course we do!
****************************************************************
Thanks a million guys!!!!
We asked them to sing, because we got everyone else to sing..
Steve: I¹ve got a sore throat
us: yeah, you¹ve been drinking Coke all day!
(We saw him in the Eyre Square, and on stage at the Beat, too, and he
had another Can in his hand now)
Steve: I was drinking Coke in Eyre square today too...
me: ( I CANNOT believe I said this...)
Coke¹s not going to help you you know!
Steve: Well, I warmed up first...
me:(interrupting, ....)
If you gargle with a disprin its brilliant!!
Steve: Oh, is it? who told you that? Is it your remedy?
me: No, my mothers.
Steve: Well, thats fine so.
(I wonder if they need a new medical consultant???? I have a long summer
ahead of me!!!!)(Hint, Hint!)
****************************************************************
Thanks a million for the interview guys!! it was great, and we really
appreciate it!!!!!
