Fashion Trends and Personal Experiences
Speaker 1The Public Nuisance, sean McCann, welcome to this episode of the Public Nuisance Podcast from Killin Studios, where you can get all your podcasts done and any photoshoots you may need. Right here at Killin Studios, we have a special guest, dara, with us today. Top, dj, dj, top lad, well dressed in the best pluck this is the only year I'm certified, so it is powerful.
Speaker 2Got a wee tracksuit there as well. Got a wee tracksuit.
Speaker 1So if anyone sees me down on the boutonniere, I'd be rapping representing certified certified.
Speaker 2Certified yeah, yes how did?
Speaker 1how did you get? Did some, like John, nailed it? Certified, certified, yeah, yes, how did you get? Did John need a punch too?
Speaker 2Because I had enough of my Trouble merch. I always wanted to do like a, you know, like gym wear, rave wear. See, when you go out to these raves, mate, when I'm playing, I'm looking down, everyone's wearing Monter X, everyone's wearing Monteraine, everyone's wearing Nick. I was like why not do my own one and I to do it, not for my trouble? But then I thought it would be too. Merchy and John had already started, certified him and was like do you want to come on board with us here?
Speaker 1and I was like fucking ready he was already in the clothing thing as well. He was dedicated, dedicated. So it's sort of, it's a a step in the right direction, supposedly. And then here, like you say, I remember years ago, going there like not so much years ago, but even like going back like a couple of years ago, people would have always wore jeans.
Speaker 1Even still, I wore jeans to the rave, and then I see all people wearing shorts and hanging on fire and I don't know. I remember I went to like a concert. I can't remember what it was, it might have been just Tannins Vale or something stupid like that. It wasn't even like a proper wave but I wore like neck shorts and like a wee neck set and someone says, I heard someone saying over on the army road.
Speaker 1No, it was over on the army road, it was on a on a park. I can't remember what it was. I think it was like Jack Shannon or something, and someone. I heard someone fell going. I will have to wear. I was like I was scundered.
Speaker 2I donned it away. You had big Tory ones on, didn't you?
Speaker 1That's the front neck shorts we put on blue neck shorts and blue neck jacket Like a wee windbreaker. Oh, aye, and I. I put on our max one and someone was like Fuck me. And I was like Jesus, I've never.
Speaker 2Gone the road like this again. It seems as has went, because, say, like the 90s and all you're all wearing high vizs and luminous bottoms, and then it went to like rock, poor boots, steel toe cap, flip flops.
Speaker 1They're still doing that normally, I know it went to that.
Speaker 2Then they moved the jeans and that seemed to go into like fitness wear track suits. I know it's more comfortable, I suppose, but it's like years ago you wouldn't get in anywhere dressed in a tracksuit even I was coming through, mate, the T14 days it was all jeans and then the shifters kind of happened, say Covid maybe oh, it's sort of after that I've noticed it as well like kids in Arab hell dress compared to when we were kids, we used to sweat on our Reebok tracksuit we wore blue cocks for a team faggy trousers.
Speaker 1What do you want for a bootcut?
Speaker 2back seat bottoms. I look at photos back in the day and I know yous all look stank and they oh people are starting to bring it back in, like the bagginess is coming back, aye, but it's more like it's, more it's like it was a dumb bad accent back in the day like a hand a hand me down no, like a nice big. I always say I always joke.
Speaker 1The cats pull me in and says well, have you anything on? You shut up? I said I'm a desk drop. Well, I used to just wear stuff that were oversized, because they were probably handed down to the floors at Henry Lloyd.
Speaker 2I haven't seen that, though it's like it is used to just wear stuff to go overseas, because we were probably handed down through bars and we'd always jump.
Speaker 1I have seen that, though, it's like nah, it's like it is fashionable and it's more like obviously it's going in that direction big in Europe, so it is.
Speaker 2That's one thing I notice, even when I'm here in Belfast. I'll not really try to dress as baggy like jeans and stuff. I kind of do, sometimes not in the game, but mostly track suits. See, when I go away to play in Europe, mate, it's all like you stick out like a sore thumb with your dress.
Speaker 1I guess.
Speaker 2So I try to wear well behind. So far, wear well behind.
Speaker 1See, when we go to London or even Glasgow, it's like they're they're ahead of the game. They're wearing stuff like they're, they're fashion styles well ahead of us and we're just were like stuck in the 90s, like I know like, don't get me wrong, attraction up, but like they were wearing all that stuff ages ago, like probably wearing like even skinny jeans. See, now I wouldn't put a pair like skinny jeans was big, I wouldn't put a pair of skinny jeans in nah, here I done.
Speaker 2I done the interview before couple weeks ago and wore a pair. My balls are out and I go.
Speaker 1I shall, you shall not worry, I'd be stuck in my leg. My fucking kneecaps are like elbows. I'm skin and bone. You know what I mean. So I hated the man I met the best I never big long, skinny legs. Big long, and you could see how long my legs were because the jeans were so tight there. So it was an nightmare.
Speaker 2You'd hang my hose and tap on my back.
Speaker 1You were hanging. What did you do before making music again?
Music Making and DJing Insights
Speaker 2fibre engineer. Fuck, I had a couple of jobs. I left school, worked on Topman and then I went to tech done joinery, left dad worked on Tesco, so left dad and then worked for my dad doing favour engineer. That was probably my most recent job and the one that I enjoyed the most, but I hated them all. I just wanted to be a DJ, since I was a kid like did you like?
Speaker 1because I seen you doing. I think I seen you on tiktok live already saying there's someone about someone saying about DJing and you said don't be like trying to go down the route of being a music maker, like making music, not an actual dj, because there's no money in it oh, I don't try down the route of making or trying to be a dj.
Speaker 2Gone are the days mate of your any hollow wells and it's not final a little more so anyone can mix. You've got a sync button just to play and filter once you're not. You know it's so easy to dj to get yourself around the world. You want to make tunes, do you ever?
Speaker 1uh, easy to DJ to get yourself around the world. You want to make tunes. Do you ever see? How does that work? Sort of see, if you're playing someone else's song mixed with whatever music you want to play, like the beat in the background or that kind of thing, just say, for example, like Jericho, that's a proper song. Do you have to get permission to do that, or what way does that work?
Speaker 2To play it on, to put it on SoundCloud? No, because it can't get. It can't get. What do you call it? Fucking? Like restricted? What do you call that when something like rates you need. Sometimes you need the rates for a song. There's a word for it, I forget what you call it, but they can take it down if it's been waitlisted. But sometimes most of the tunes aren't waitlisted, so you can just put up any sort of edit you want on soundcloud, but they get it officially released and put on. Uh, spotify. Spotify get radio plays. It needs to go through legal stuff.
Speaker 2So what I had to do with jericho is go to your girl, anika, and pay her money or ask her can we use her sample? And then it would get officially saying but we actually done that and we actually had it signed. Good to go, mate. And uh, there was no contract signed yet, but we were like a couple days off doing it and it was going to be released a couple days after because it was blowing up so much and whenever it happened, israel had hit palestine and the lyrics is break down walls like jerry go crumble and because he of that Sony didn't want to release it. No way, and it's probably my biggest tune too.
Speaker 1No way that's one of my favourite tunes.
Speaker 2I always blast it and tell you how I like it.
Speaker 1It's mad because I always wondered that I was like how could people just make a tune and put someone else's tune on it? But obviously I knew it was an element to DJing ways.
Speaker 2You can do whatever you want DJing people always ask me all the time do you need to pay such and such to play their tunes? I can go out, I'm sure, I play a fucking Burmese, I know, I know, play whatever you want people.
Speaker 1Just you can just release whatever you want DJing, because it's just a live show. It doesn't matter for it to be released publicly worldwide.
Speaker 2You know what I mean official has to be legally done. But SoundCloud is different, where there's a bit of leeway, where you can put up wee edits, which has made it so popular, but it can get took down very easy as well. So it's just a game you're playing, isn't it?
Speaker 1will you be backing up for next year?
Speaker 2a good bit then probably, hopefully, definitely, especially out there in this season. I don't think I'll do Beef or Rock. We're trying to chase somewhere bigger and better, not bigger and better. Beefy rocks is good, but like oh, I know it's more of my style it's very like beach party beach party. It's more like it's a pool party it was kind of slowing down and catering to the crowd. I just want to play like an amnesia or a high and just. Oh, the big nightclubs, the big, big nightclubs.
Speaker 1Eden's a good set up. Like we always finish in Eden most of the times we go. We always end up finishing in Eden. Even when we went to be frax that time with you, we went back there and finished in Eden. Know what I mean.
Speaker 2I played there once, so I did. I played there in August and I'm just liable. Just perfect, fucking, bang it out. Just let it rip Aye, because you're at a pool party.
Speaker 1You can't really be playing like fuck a system if you're first on the food party, see your music. What would it be like? What like? What would the genre of it? Aye, what would it be? I don't know.
Speaker 2I make everything mate, so if I'm putting on SoundCloud it's probably like more harder stuff, techno stuff, because I'm saying with Sony, you gotta cater to the commercial side of things things I'm thinking doing alter ego like an alias, because I need to.
Speaker 1I need to start differentiating, because I'm getting booked for techno gigs as dara and it's harder tunes I'm playing, but then I'm releasing so I'd interrupt this episode, but I gotta stop and tell you about my beautiful haircut from jfh socials, who are supporting the public Nations podcast. If you want to smash in a haircut just like mine, you know where to go. They've got a branch in Lisburn Road, ormo Road, one in Newcastle County Down and they've got a fourth one coming to the Dabnish Complex in Finnegan. Also, let's not forget the popular praise guy who do fantastic praises all week long with massive, massive praises to stick. This Sunday they have 100,000 coming up and they do a lot of charity work as well. So it's good to support because they give it back in the community.
Speaker 1Like commercial tunes on the radio and it just doesn't work Because someone one of my mates told me yesterday that because you're saying you're getting booked as Dara, so someone was telling me that your man or BLK, they have a different name for techno or something. Is that right?
Speaker 2So BLK is his name, his main name, and then he has a groovier version called Too Quick, too Groove.
Speaker 1Ah yeah, that's mad. You'd be surprised bro.
Speaker 2I think Pretty Green Eyes. What do you call them? Ultra Beat, Ultra Beat. I want to come off that Serious.
Speaker 1I want to.
Speaker 2I can't think. Off the top of my head there's so many. You would look at Fatboy Slim. Who was he? He'd done a big tune there. I can't even remember who it was. You need to Google it, but there's so many.
Speaker 1I see what you think. Out there it's the same DJ. You know what? I mean I was growing up, we were all hardstyle. We just loved hardstyle. I was going go to an Irish school and I used to stand on the third floor and I was in the taxi and I was like, see, I was sat in there, sturdier, and I had the chains pumping my wee earphones.
Speaker 2Was it not the big ones that the BCD bugged in?
Speaker 1Not that old, I probably was A fucking walkman or something, but I'd be earphones and I'd be. Chains were pumping In the back of the taxi. It was for Half eight in the morning. Some fellas Taught me music.
Speaker 2In the black taxi.
Speaker 1Sure, someone I know Taught me. He's like Fuck me. No wonder you were fucking nuts, fucking tunes Blasting In half eight in the morning. I was like Not like this music. He's like Fuck's. He can hear it All the way from the taxi.
Speaker 2Half eight in the morning, I'm in the school Full of beans, ready to go. I do that all the time. You know I get in the car In the morning, especially when I was Working as well, I used to get in Straight away and put the bangers on.
Speaker 1It's listening to him. Get you ready for the hell, everyone likes a wee coffee. You have a tune. I have a coffee and a tune going yeah car vibrating the way down the road, the big band, the big thing I remember, because Big G goes to your aunt, doesn't he, big G?
Speaker 2yes, he says to me he does a lot of rave stuff.
Speaker 1He loves it he's the only one I know Like, who I've always known Just to be Just a proper rave lover Like, but he's, he's hardstyle. And he's His music's for fruits, for fruits and all he's like. It's good, but it's for all fruits.
Speaker 2And he's like I mean fuck me.
Speaker 1It's a battle of the music, battle of.
Speaker 2But I Hardstyle. These days Are the same, aren't they? They're even fans, it's like fucking getting through Pats and Dash going to the Rats, even though you're shitting me.
Speaker 1You'd be fucking. You'd just wake up hungover listening to it. You'd be lying on the bed going fuck me, I'm busted.
Speaker 2I like the old stuff. Man, I know you're out of reverse bass and you're old. Dj Luna or hardstyle classics are a good thing, but see it's new stuff and it's hard.
Speaker 1I like music with words in it, with words in it.
Speaker 2Had a wee bit of words in it.
Speaker 1They had to break it up. You know what I mean get the girls dancing you know what I mean. You travel loads with symmetric now, nah never. I thought you were being on like same guys mostly see everybody thinks this.
Speaker 2I call them my best mates. They're in some shows definitely probably good mates, but I'm a completely different genre than them. I'm more, not completely different, just I'm more techno. I would say. I'm playing techno shows and they're doing like trancey stuff, more trancey stuff really they're flat as well, like aren't you, it's mad the difference in the last heck.
Speaker 1it's like Eastern European was probably always leading the way with DJs for years, like years ago, and then starting to see it now coming here like well you boys are flying yous are all flying.
Speaker 2It's country mate, it's running the game, in my opinion, like in Europe, Would you?
Speaker 1ever think about doing like I see, like you were saying answering like kids, saying about DJing of, like teaching people.
Speaker 2I get asked all the time.
Speaker 1How to make music.
Speaker 2I just don't have the time yet and I wouldn't feel like I'm. I haven't even made a tune in like 2-3 years now. If even like, I kind of picked it up really fast and blew it up quick, whereas I would rather have so much experience behind me before I start doing that there, I would maybe do like tutorials and put them on YouTube for people to watch. You know, maybe walk through a track I've made or like a Jericho tune show I've done, but taking people on at the minute, nah stuff like that go well.
Speaker 1But see the media stuff. Now I see the way it is going like the way the world is going. It's done through like the views and YouTube and all that kind of yeah, I would do, I would do. Just getting the time to do it and they overtake you Taking all your games that's shugged at tonight, though Shugged shugged you. Eh, good man, we have banter about that all the time, because he doesn't.
Speaker 2He used to do tradition, but he's a lot better producer than me. Any time I have a problem, I'm still ringing him or texting him, so when I get the level on the end of's good to have that button.
Speaker 1Like a man he'd be like man.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm from a fonda like a brawler now I know, I know 100, that's pretty to have.
Speaker 1Like that's sort of like the way I was like not not that way, but like patty barnes, what I like when I went on the ice team boxing that's how it was patty was with me. He sort of always helped me out. You know, like deal with stuff, like there's a lot of because there's a lot of politics in boxing as well.
Speaker 1So it's like a lot of shit, so I know every industry has it, but you can go in blindsided and that. Paddy's very outspoken and he was like a senior boxer for years and he was a big name. Any issues I had with coaches and shit, he would have just told me exactly how to deal with it.
Speaker 2How to deal with it, aye is he much older now, is he?
Speaker 1probably aye, about 5 years older. Fuck, I didn't know it. Benjamin Button, I call him he looks 5 years younger, he's going backwards 5 foot small you haven't grown up yet, alright, but nah, it's fucking lethal. See, I tend to be for you, does Bob? You had a message my phone from you, sam, because, see, from the minute I got on the plane I knew you were playing, because I had a big slipper on there, big Scooby Steve slippers you walked on piss and your woman goes because it was only after the American thing.
Speaker 2Do you remember? Oh yeah, that's right you were on your last warning straight away.
Fighting and Laughing in Dublin
Speaker 1I hadn't even been on the plane yet. I was walking up the steps after that New York incident with the not getting on the plane because I listened to the podcast the week before and then we were walking up.
Speaker 1I was walking up the steps on my own stag, dressed as like Scuba Steve, and the woman at the very, at the very top of the stairs was like you're not getting on your eyes or anything. I went what? I literally had one beer in the airport, one beer. And she was like no, I mean honest to god, I've had one drink. She was like well, just sit down and behave. I was like fuck me, I was the last person you needed.
Speaker 1We were having a big vicar a big vicar up in there, he's mad he's nuts.
Speaker 2He had me tortured that whole flight he was just pacing up and down our flight, just talking.
Speaker 1The only time I met the toilet he was not talking right, right, right, right, right right.
Speaker 2We were at the front because I sat in the front and he was at the front just going put him hide him, put him down. And the plane was about to land, your mum was like, if you're waiting for the over there and he would go to your love and not even wait, and he does tracks and that he's here.
Speaker 1Oh, he's mental. And then we end up. The first day we got there you were playing in a B4X. We seen you over all there and then you text me saying what are you for, what are you doing, or something I can't remember, but I didn't see my phone anyway till the. But I see, when we walked left to be for action, big, massive fit broke out big, massive fit. I was in the wee bar swinging for a hold and I was counting the apples up.
Speaker 2I heard a few of you just got sparked out.
Speaker 1I got knocked out, got his jaw broke. He had to go and get an operation on his jaw In a beef hour, Nah he got a my brother paid to get him like an x-ray and it was broke like, but he stayed on the rest of that holiday like just stayed out trucking away. I just trucked away and a few people got sparked. I got knocked out. Them boys were killers.
Speaker 2You got a big ruby man, wasn't it? Aw, I had a big ruby.
Speaker 1First I walked into one of them. It was not what happened, it was it stopped. It was the first time we were walking around and my mate and an other guy from Wellsville were taking balloons together and then my mate thought he said something, but it was like a miscommunication. And I was standing there and I was like lads. That was a misunderstanding. He meant this, he meant that, and then hang on and then at this day we're already squaring up to each other. The wild ones come running up a strip. As I seen it, some of them was all confusion. All my mates were about, say, 15 meters behind us and they came running up. That's gone, so they're all up the high road, they're all running up the high road.
Speaker 1Lads, it's all sorted, it's sorted. Laco and your man here were fit and was like look, I'm sorry about that. They were talking down, walking around holding each other's hands, and then one of my old mates run up and wilded someone else and it their start off again, and I was like lads, what are we doing?
Speaker 1This is all organised. And then this was all sorted, it was all like all under control. We all broke up again, shook hands, whatever else. Dave went over to Welsmore and said we went to the shenanigans and we were sitting and having a beer and then our crack started again. First round, we won the second round, so yous get the third round. No bad drink messing about. And someone phoned my bro and or one of my mates and they him running up and says what's going on? He's fighting. And my, my or mate just walked right over in the wells barn to start a phone on and it all broke up again. I went mad again three different times. I was like what's going on? So I run in and the wee well spark, it wrecked and it was like four or five of us in there swinging for the hills and they were racing like hang on there and then the next thing I know is tear gas.
Speaker 1My face was burnt off, my eyes were like I can't see. Everyone started bolting and I was like I'm not even running. I looked up there was cops everywhere but I was just. My eyes were burnt off me, but after about 15 minutes I just walked away and re-wanted leg but now I was on my own and I was wiping my eyes and it sort of went away. But then at the end of the time, like Victor and I was making me laugh because I looked at his face and he was fat and I couldn't stop laughing.
Speaker 1I was calling him Mr Potato Head and Look, he just got his jaw broke. Oh, our mate's a ruthless slaying lever that he knows how to. And every time I was laughing for the rest of the day my eyes were stung off. Mate, was there water going back in it? Oh, I just kept burning.
Speaker 2My big red eyes. I was at the bottom of the ship walking up and I remember seeing all the tear gas and like going away and there's cops everywhere. Oh, I and I get up and I say I was going to text you.
Speaker 1I've had a. Seen enough messages you probably would have had about me, I know.
Speaker 2I clear a lot of things. I was not there.
Speaker 1I'd be like when I'm out the way I'm out the street, the eastern European people meet up and fight like football, they're well the Russians or the Welsh.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's the Russians. I can do my bit.
Speaker 1The Welsh are Russians, or the Welsh and Irish the Russians? Fuck, I don't know about that. We all got pattern.
Speaker 2Fuck's sake. But nah, good crack and Harry you done the Odyssey last year. Last month.
Speaker 1Just our last month, so oh, I missed it. Powerful.
Speaker 2Powerful, it's powerful.
Speaker 1I was like Jack and I George your best one to date, nah. Nah Still Telegraph Would you prefer to like festivals, like outdoor festivals, or indoor, like arena-ing.
Speaker 2Places like the Telegraph. You know like warehouses are better. Cool venues, the SSE shit. Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1Aw for like a friend. It's just a Cos.
Speaker 2there's seats, no oh you know what I mean. It's not a real tickets.
Speaker 1You couldn't, nah, you couldn't do that. Who goes to a rave that sits down?
Speaker 2I know so because of you out there, mate, it's not a rave venue, it's not equipped to be a rave venue. It's kind of like a concert or a comedy stuff or an ice rink. Ah, so it wasn't good that way, but it was a massive goal to kick off. It was something I thought, probably two years ago, was unachievable, and I got to do it.
Speaker 1I know and it's obviously a well known arena and it's been headlined by so many artists around the world, like massive artist Beyonce and you've done it and this guy fucks sake, you've done it. Steve Mellon fam I know you're money never a man can have now. But alright, that's lethal to do that like just even, just as you say, just to tick it off now.
Speaker 2Just haven't received an email now, so I'd love to do, hopefully, a Bell Sanic or something there. Custom House.
Speaker 1Square. What about Emerge? Love to do Emerge?
Speaker 2Emerge because I've seen the tickets.
Speaker 1I always get emails saying tickets are released and all, but I've never even been.
Speaker 2So many people text me are you doing Bell Sanic? Are you doing Custom House? Are you doing Emerge? I honestly don't know. Yet I want to do all three if possible.
Speaker 1Aww, I don't think it's possible to do all three like but Does a pap Does like say you have you a manager or something, yeah, or does someone represent you as a manager and they just Do? They try and get you, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Or do they have to?
Speaker 1wait to someone.
Speaker 2Bit of both Like I have an agent in Northern Ireland and a manager too, so in our nanny season she runs Notorious Bodies. So I think she's having some sort of talks with them, but I'm not too sure where we sit at the minute. Like I just I just sit and wait past this wait, sit and wait fingers crossed, fingers crossed, I guess.
Speaker 2I just say I was the servant, like you know. At least I cost him a house, maybe in a murder slot, because a murder is kind of my scene as well. I'm playing me all these DJs week in week out anyway. But I think for my own show I can't go back. I'm not going to do a telegraph here, but it's more just for Christmas fun thing up in the clothes. I think next summer I would love to do an hour of Bellsonic or Cousin.
Speaker 1Miss Square, do you reckon with all the culties? I would say, with the culties, I love it, just did our culty one before that's our day out.
Speaker 2Look at that.
Speaker 1Proper day out, like one day in a row. Brown knuckles everywhere, like brown boots, shackles shirts.
Speaker 2I love it, don't I? Did you ever see the thing they done last year? The fucking. It was a culty night.
Speaker 1What did you call it? I did see that there, I remember.
Speaker 2I remember on the mic and they were shouting something and they were all shouting the song back, but it was a proper culty tune, aww.
Speaker 1I think culties are the same all around the world. I always say it's like they were saying like it's mad. I know it's hard to say because culties don't even. They don't even like just outside of Belfast, only 20 minutes down the road. But I think there's culties in every country in the world, no like they all have the same attitude even if you go to America, right, and you go down to like South America, they're all like Alabama or something. They're all cowboys, they're all the same. We're brown, they're all you know what I mean.
Speaker 1And they're all like the talk. Like what way does the talk keep you in? I'd say they're all the same, like everywhere in the world, and they all have the same. I just think they all have the same madness you know what I mean.
Speaker 2I agree with you. Like I just just farming, isn't it farming?
Speaker 1aye, just farming they're just in the land and they're farming. Aye, it's their little farm.
Speaker 2They're just in the land and it's their big, big boots agriculture agriculture, aye, so it's like milking cows and all. I'm a city boy like I couldn't live without there, mate. See my old job I used to do. We were working a lot in the rurals, so we were out in the poles fitting the faber in, because all the main cities's got the fibres. We were all doing the country sides, mate.
Speaker 2It's like the smell of slurry, you know we were sitting in the van mate, there's cows walking past you and the roads not getting out of the gates. It's that fucking honour.

Speaker 1I remember years ago I went to like Port of like Port of Ferry or something and I went for a night out and I mean, I stood out like a sore thumb. I was wearing like a fucking like a Montclair jumper or something and everyone was just every single person was wearing a gilet checkered shirt, brown boots and a jeans. That's it.
Speaker 2That's the look. I'm telling you I was like Jesus.
Speaker 1Man know how much I hate that. Look, I actually thought my mates were going to make me dress up like that in the airport the one I started. They were like we're going to dress him up like a proper colt. You make me speak like a dachshund straight up.
Speaker 2I'm like fuck. Did you not know you were dressing up as that man? Did you know?
Speaker 1That morning they were at my door. I slept in From my own stag. And they were all Beating my door down. Marty and Dee and a few of the lads Were like Get him up and I was like Put that on you, tax man.
Speaker 2I was outside waiting and I was like I want to say it.
Speaker 1It was roasting and they were looking Me to wear it up there, up the B4X Out there they were like you have to wear it. For an hour, man, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. I'm not. I'm got to the room, checked in, then went over to Big Putts. It's like a wee putting green. We can match all football.
Speaker 2Now we've been over it's across the street from Apollo, my mate has bought shards and all.
Speaker 1So we all went over for a few drinks and then everyone went back and they were like when you have to put this on towards me, to put that big scuba steve costume and walk no way up the beef rocks, I was like lads, not a chance. No way lads.
Speaker 2No way, fucking up earth you know that's gunner walking up with a plane in the air. I seen it most weeks any time I was going over, there was always someone dressed up with something like you do.
Speaker 1You see some. I didn't know what to expect, to be honest, because I was going lads, don't be dressing me up. Last year we made he wore a pair of leather chaps with the arse cut out of him and a wee thing and a wee and a whole lot. He was all gear. It was that bad. The woman actually says you're not getting on playing like that. So we had to get him one of his stag t-shirts and just put it on and and then see when we were pulling up. We were all met in the Dadneys to get a bus from the Dadneys up to the airport and all the big squads down there, and I pulled up my car, I opened the boot to pull my grip back out and I looked and there was a pair of brown toe-pointed shoes you wear like with a suit, good, but they were my brother's from a wedding, my brother's wedding A year and a half ago, and I went. I've been in my boot For about a year and a half. There were season items For about that season. Yeah.
Speaker 2But he Put them on.
Speaker 1He stuck them on.
Speaker 2I'll say For about that season.
Speaker 1There was about that much Space in the back and we took the shoes off, so we had them on. We were a pair of black With a black leather chaps.
Speaker 2And he.
Speaker 1Holy fuck, I'll say. He says he fought me. He thought what's he going to say to him? He thought if we go down, I know where I'm going, jumping in the back. And he comes afloat and he wore a M1 and I was like fuck me. He was like you don't meet, dardy, I'm going to get you back for your stags. So I didn't know what to expect. He's like lads, they're going to dress me up in something stupid. I think I put them in a ranger's one Aye.
Speaker 2But they did.
Speaker 1I know you always say it's always the same stuff, but then that there was. Even though the fella, the captain of the plane Knew Marty and he knew me and he was like Come on, I can get a photo. And he's like that's the first time I've ever seen that he's like that's a belter.
Speaker 2And that's just. You had the.
Speaker 1The whole heap. They must have spent the fortune. They were gear like.
Speaker 2Snorkelers, glasses, big slippers. You know what the worst thing was.
Speaker 1See, when you had to go into the toilet, it was roasted.
Speaker 2You had to strip right down your bum.
Speaker 1It's not like that Big flaps all the day Big floaters and everything that didn't fit the toilet Snorkelers. You know what I?
Speaker 2mean.
Speaker 1You knew enough how to keep one food out Just to get a bit of room, because those fucking little feedings were massive and I was walking. I couldn't walk properly without tripping over myself, so I had to walk backwards. It was wild, swear to god, but it was.
Speaker 2It was a good idea, like what do you think the best way to dress up? As that's what Daphne up were. I was trying to think of funny stuff I've seen getting on planes, but as you just men in tutus and all dressed up as combs and stuff like that you'd see.
Speaker 1I know the old fella dressed up as a bird. People sort of try and see. Like people say, for example, if I, like a boxer, would try and dress him up like make him wear gloves and headgear and all and stuff like that. I was going there, going to do something like that, but they didn't and go down that track. I don't know, really know what. Like.
Speaker 2I think Trey's not like a complete cult, he's a balder like I said, I'm not doing that get the wee straw on this brown balder full out, fit going, what the heck.
Speaker 1But oh nah, it's a good one. It'd be, I'd say, from people, seeing that they'll probably try and do something next year on there mates, you know what I mean, because it was a good one, I get a huge for those.
Speaker 2For you I say it you started a trend, skip it, sean get the best thing said in the comments.
Speaker 1When we get it going we'll see who has the best the best thing, do it next year it'll all be certified anyway hopefully, bro.
Local Fashion Brand Promotion Strategies
Speaker 2That's the plan. Hopefully, mate. It's fucking something I'm passionate about. I love fighting sounds mad being from here but I'm in the clothes, I'm in the trend jeans and tracksuits and stuff. I think I dress pretty sweetly. I don't dress, I can't see, so I'm doing alright over here.
Speaker 1It's something I feel it's. It's very easy now to do it with the, with platforms like social media. It's massive and see if you get a week. No, like there's no way, but a support from your own people. No, like going right, I'm gonna buy it. Instead of being a month tracks one, I'm gonna buy it certified one just do it.
Speaker 2Why I feel like materials.
Speaker 1It's exactly the same material as monterex and all all these other stuff I'm wearing I think that's as well.
Speaker 2Some people think it's because it's the first drop, it's about shit, but it's actually nah, it matches the moment.
Speaker 1I just understand why people like we can just go and bat. You know what I mean buy someone local, yeah, and support it, push like, push on, because you're never going to get that opportunity. But I feel like it's hard to do in this place because people don't want to really buy local. You know what I mean. Everyone wants something that's established, I know.
Speaker 2I know, you know what I mean. It's making an establishment. How are you?
Speaker 1going to make an establishment if you don't buy it.
Speaker 2That's when it starts. You've got to stick it on people who are seen as cool. Aww, I think they'll shout.
Speaker 1Is that why I hang out? Look, I don't know, just about me, that comes yeah.
Speaker 2But you do, you need that there and it just gives, and then especially people in Scotland and all they'll have eyes on it. What's that brand-wise people wearing that there? And I get it.
Speaker 1Cos see, now you see people stand out say like, like Parkhead and all, or the A-Brock's even, they're just standing, they're all.
Speaker 2They're like personal shoppers is this your guy Reestock? You call him aye, aye. What do you have to eat my outfit at 10?
Speaker 1no, I mean, but he wears like a full because it's a tatsin, so he would wear a full blue one, yeah, yeah park head and a full green one.
Speaker 2I'd say Ibrax, yeah because then all the Ibrax ones didn't he call him. He's just up in the shop wearing a Glasgow. As we're meeting him, I'm going to try and get certified in that, see.
Speaker 1So that's what I mean just getting out there and getting someone to do that for you. I know he's doing it for himself, but if you like, nah, bro, I'm on it, I'm on it.
Speaker 2You know what I mean. So I'm playing in Glasgow next week here, swz3, and and then also put some stuff in a shop and launch it that way, which would be good that's how you do it.
Speaker 1I can tell, as you say, when people who establish people start running, then they're like fuck, that's good.
Speaker 2I think the first couple of markets you want to hit is like Belfast, dublin, scotland, edinburgh, glasgow and then Liverpool and then. Newcastle Manchester and Newcastle Manchester and maybe go that way, but they're your, are your main big ones.
Speaker 1They're the main ones that dress the same Aye. You know what I mean. Like Monterex is obviously A scouse brand.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1But we all dress the same, like in Dublin, monterex, massive Belfast.
Speaker 2They have. There's one down in Dublin Called, Sent me stuff out before. What do you call them? They're actually nice mate. I think it is Great is it Aye?
Speaker 1So are they Dublin? Are they based in Dublin?
Speaker 2It's like a Dublin version of it. Aye, Aye, see.
Speaker 1So it's just like that's the region you go down. It's just pushing that out.
