Female Voices on the show today the amusing voice there of Stevie Nicks gosh her name and out of my head funny how you just blank in the moment that was Dreams of course Fleetwood Mac. I mentioned earlier we're going to be talking a little bit about what's been making the airwaves buzz or the the social media lines buzz I don't even know what the terminology is I'm so old what we say the Twitter sphere and I like that phrase anyway everybody's talking about it is what we would have said and all obviously the big royal story of the weekend no not that one the crime series 3 we've got Sarah and next door and their ears perked up like don't talk. You know it's the crime series 3 a Livia Coleman has replaced Claire for playing the queen and there was a bit of a hoo ha about it what do you think are you watching the crime I got the d.v.d. With back when I was still watching D.V.D.'s I got the 1st series on d.v.d. And I'm but maybe 5 episodes into it but I would love to catch up but if you're not into it you've got you know 20 minutes to binge watch all of the series and then you can have an opinion on let us know about it and the other big show that's making headlines is of course I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here mostly for the fact that they're not at long last decided to stop letting people live creatures thank goodness but late for that but anyway good for them but the other big story is of course our own local girl not in call from Derry and she's on there and everybody's given out about her accent and I think Medina's had the last laugh because not only has she got her own axe and that sort of beers all over the place she is the mistress of accents who knew I heard a little interview with her just the other day I'm going to play a little clip of it here let's here in a dating getting the upper hand on the accent thank. You. Then I. Really want to really. And for a long time. United States and I know that. Completely different accent altogether and they say do little. For them she should probably stick to doing the.

Some people say they love it some people say they don't like it if you've any opinion on give us a call 030305555 you can also let us know if you'd like a song you'd like a dedication say hello to anybody text in. Or if you're on Twitter it's b.b.c. Radio Ulster. a long while and not only does he do television he's a magician as he was telling me he's also into panto Oh yes here it is to know what I've done penance over the past 17 years back to back and I think it was just something really special about it in terms of whether it be a kid's 1st time at a theater or the family just having a night out there is just something Barry special a magical about and this is why I got involved in this campaign for those that don't know I'm supporting this competition way they all schools all around the country to come up with an i.d. That Christmas themed So whether it's a or whether it should be a play based on Christmas it doesn't need to be religious in any why it's just an id that the school will come up with and the winning score will not only get $5000.00 pounds they'll get to go to the School of Rock meet the cost of a mass to cause musical instruments given to the scold and on top of that Virgin Media would then broadcast it in front of $4000000.00 viewers while that's going to be a lot of prayer an audience is there's a lot of parents video when their kids can tell them all said time it's going to over $33000000.00 people a lot signs like an amazing offer and good luck to all the schools taking part on it so there's this really weird like of seeing surveys but this is the survey of both her face that says the part you played in your nativity play says a lot about what you're going to be in later life so you tell me he's what apparently Miriam Joseph kumite best what a thing is is that when I read these facts and they've properly done research into the season it's been throwing together or it's not going to a joke. So things like if you played Mairi in your nativity the chances are your social media interaction will be better the most you know and that makes me just think people. Need to get a get a life like he said serving life. But also if you play the All x. On average people that play the ox will be earning over $43000.00 pounds a year and what happens if like me you never got that claim you when you move me do you know everyone I don't remember the last Cohen I was in I was in the Macand I was one of the gentlemen of Japan's I don't know what that means maybe that's why I'm in the Zen Buddhism you know. What your favorite role to play in pound woman clearly 270 aren't the same thing did you ever play in it to yourself I was I was a wise man for the murder. Over the years I was the way we say the thing that you look at yourself on the wall because kids all over Northern Ireland think that brought gold frankincense and myrrh for Jesus. I do love your ex I'm not a white thanks I love you. So you played a wise man and that have any repercussions than I guess well I mean. If I thought if I had to pick my favorite sort of pants how character it would be buttons because I love I love. The big pantyhose in terms of Cinderella allowed to now I think because kids can relate. To those pants I was that they were always nicer to performing but funny enough I haven't done so for the past 2 years when I think you're so busy now let's see why this is no word of a lawyer. I lost my voice 2 years ago after doing prime time and and you know this 1st time as a broadcaster if you lose your voice you're in trouble. Exactly so I just thought I'm going to take a couple of years of times I think I might go back and do it next year but it's been nice to be in the and isnt it. Very hard if you're really lucky well but you're very talented I mean you're Chris and this is a man who if he wasn't presenting all the shows that he's on the ticket way Britain's got more tolerant catchphrase which is close to everybody hears heart. Of the legend Mr Say what you say. Was without fail the king of catchphrase and I still believe is the king of catch a lot so you're very quick story when when we talk about bringing it back I got a phone call to say. They're going to a pilot then they'll put it out to research and if it comes back positive then I'll give it a try with 6 episodes so when it was announced that it was going to come back and it was a big picture in the paper and it was like all of you know disco to be a really amazing launch I saw walk out walking down the Strand in London and I hid behind a car. Because I didn't know what you didn't want to say what you saw. I mean it or are you're out. But you know when each go oh no because I would love still to this day I haven't spoke for about a half. We should get him on the phone he's probably lurking outside the b.b.c. Right now he was. In a video on the plane he was brilliant brought with him yes and he's going on to the car I really griot career doing talk. A lot sort of stuff so you've got all and ahead of you and I fall out ever feels for you I love the fact that you're a magician Yes I mean not magic do you keep it up the tree and you keep yourself. Much as it were your 100 percent a picker's The thing is about sleight of hand it's like a pianist I mean I play are playing the piano as well but if you don't if you don't continue to try oh I. Can go very quickly only one person like cautiously I'm Tommy Cooper said but you. The one who can mess up a comedy trick you know but we knew he was messing them up on purpose and you know what the weird thing is is that Tommy Cooper was not only an accomplished musician but it's hollowed out to do the tricks that he did to make them go wrong that it is to make God right he was just just like Les Dawson playing the piano. Player You know that's really hard as well as there are in just wanted to be right oh yeah so I wish I could have met Tommy Cooper that would have been a drain well who are your heroes in the magic the magic side of things who. Do you think wow I wonder how that will pull Daniels was I think genuinely that the monster in terms of a British magician but in terms of. The most star of all his still has to be David Copperfield even say this day. I think he just he is just the best. And you're a member you were the youngest member of the owners of the magic circle rather Yes I mean do you stand on the side of these tricks and say yeah no when they did that is there anything that you're going high the fact that they that there was only one trick that I saw which was with an AK called the Pendragons and they did the classics or in the lady in half but they did it with a person box and it absolutely did completely for me and I remember funny around some friends go have you seen this this is just spectacular do you know the method and then when you find out the method this is why when tricks are exposed people go on really that say. It kills the magic it does an absolute to want to try trick now. Cool try trick now with you and all your listeners as long as you know there's also a box or a song your own Ok go for all you need to do everyone is listening to new show right now just think of any small number in your mind any maybe a one digit number just think about that number now now what you need to do is double the number that you're thinking of now add the number 8. And I heard on a minute everybody is reaching for the calculators on there from. Them and read Ok . Now half the number that you've got and I'm finally take away the 1st number that you thought of now this one equals i.e. Be equal to see 345 b. And so on get your letter. And with that letter Think of a country that starts with that letter Ok and the very last thing is the 2nd letter of the country think of an animal and the animals color. Don't get many Creil offense in them out here. How can you you know that that's something I answer was going to be that is really think I'm one of those people going to people still listening going I want to buy and. Listen I thought was great you've earned your You've earned your rights just by doing. Thank you and at the crossing I bet she's not allowed to speak yet is the gorgeous Amanda said John Hello Amanda she's giving a speech that was what we're going to see of her for having the proper chop I was asked and she's a huge fan of the crime aren't we all and what other shows like I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here we've kind of got used to the Big Brother we get used to that to turn into something really but some of the reality shows that we have now are just incredible I mean have you ever seen the show and you cannot believe it was ever me and I mean one is the naked truth one is incredible if you don't know what a day's rest easy you don't need to but there are some we were like and there's one called shot or did you ever hear of it I don't have shown here but it could pass and had to stay awake for 7 days 24 hours of 7 days straight and some started hallucinating and I love the fact one started to think he was the Astrarium prime minister and that I love the last line it just says it lasted for one season others in America what you mean you just would love to be in the room when the program pictures were coming up with us it is so Alan Partridge this one is called labor games you will not believe this a woman who's in the labor ward sitting there with her husband partner whatever and being asked a question that's between contractions. Whatever they win then they get money to buy not one person died he said I'm going to be seeing nappies and diapers I mean you just couldn't make this stuff up. No it isn't really funny but it made me burst out laughing it was just this picture of a Labrador driving right in what is the word piloting a play and called Dogs Mike they took dogs. To see if they could train them to fly . They did actually manage to train 6 dogs to fly a plane so next time when you're sitting on your flight and you hear. The pilot who's making this is the one that will be coming straight to you in a way a moment but just for night we're going to say happy birthday This is from Jerry Maguire going and desert Martin and they want to say big happy birthday to their daughter Olivia so happy birthday Olivia if you have any requests or any dedications you can give us a call the number is 03030 is he 5555 or text it 1771 tweet at b.b.c. Radio Ulster. I think we have a train for every year many. Rich Here the same. No it's not it's lovely I'm Anderson John welcome and thank you know. That is your brilliant song Muscle Shoals which is m u s e l muscle shows deliberately not muscle shows as in the thing in the muscle you know the fish anyway the reason I told Amanda not speak is she has to mind her voice Yes My throat is a bit bad today but as I've been recovering from quite severe vocal damage so not just but I'm going on Schmoe cannot make a wish i was dead so let the last 6 months yet let only have sense of Fabray or March. On Washington I'm sure you saw it was in Washington in March of this Dana beg for Nancy Pelosi they know I think we saw you and the big white house yes so congratulate Yeah but I had severe vocal damage at that point couldn't bear to speak to too much show tonight signed the White House quite possibly not that anybody would have heard we're not allowed to say what we were to write a note said the White House not moving swiftly on yet so how is your voice now your own singing form literally just on the us i did have a 2 gags this week and the way they were the last 2 gigs of my terror this we mentioned that you were doing in the Atlantic sessions on Thursday night of an article was not good Perelli a night's absolutely fantastic just such a great response and I just a little as a as a songwriter I love Rick I play live because you get to see the people vibe and off the songs and connect and to me that's just magic but also watching you live I mean you kind of refound a song I mean she's just you have to go and see Amanda live she just was going say she comes alive of course she does and it's that kind of music that's just so. The band members get to do a bit of a solo only maybe riff on a wee rest your fairy Billy's I mean no offense to the glans accident but there's quite a contrast between how you're speaking voice I mean once you start singing you would just swear it was a wreath in the street. You know all your darlin your inspiration Yeah very much so it was all those big souls singers from the seventy's and more can and you know there's just the voice isn't just there yeah it's not but what got you like should I because I knew him and the Years ago we met through a thing you were working in a fairly ordinary job you know it wasn't music a little job and then suddenly you just burst on to the singing of this incredible voice and clearly you sang but what made you go professional. I started when I was kind of early teen or early teens and I was really like I'm going to do this and then I moved to Belfast and didn't like the end distrait was it wasn't strong enough of this week of so green it was we culture the bags that I have so green and I just wasn't fit for what I just was like No I did not want to be part of this and I backed away and I did cover gigs for years just so signing loads of pubs and Whedon's and I was always writing and always the best to write. And then to actually Nortel's the way back them took 5 years off the didn't thank you notes for Nigeria or go virtual tours not about me and I was no no no I don't think it's a very positive band name no no no no Joe The good thing about think about were drinking years. So yeah I just I got married I have a daughter and I just thought I'd just go I didn't know how you could have a family and a music career so long story short I had a really bad car accident and I was fighting for my life 300 foot dynamite didn't and I let early asked the question like What do I need to do to get this I was no pulse around us and I was like really really really bad head injury unconscious no pulse and I was in an eye of consciousness and I was like what I need today and as clear as day I just got this message that saying really so I just. If I ever get a divorce I would sing out of this nearly scared not to yank you some of those bottoms so yeah I just totally liberal. But I love those you find your ego is negative voices that stop you doing things you know I'm not good enough I literally was like when I'm as good as a rate that Dan'l released something yes is just ridiculous because nobody is that good for a 1000 years ago does everything when she should know when to start so it's like I just it's time for me to overcome all of that and then it literally just blew the water and I went from trying to write to not being able to start my range just went from here to here like literally my range just increased dramatically for those watching them black and white show yeah I really like that movement to show very little through very big and your 1st album was 2016 yes obviously a good name for somebody who's like a wave as the American. Then your latest album I was just at a what's the where has it come from I was really really lucky in that I got an opportunity to go to Alabama the same studio with. The g.m. The Rolling Stones Percy Sledge So all of those breaks all songs that we grew up listening to like Wilson Pickett's Mustang Sally and when a man loves a woman all of those songs were all recorded in the studio and I got in from the Arts Council and I thought play big or go home just to do something big you know. Because it was 40 this year and I thought I do you know just begun to grow so I took a rest a massive breath and went over and yeah I recorded an album Well just speaking of some of the big names that I have recorded a nurse anonymous with the police Muscle Shoals Let's hear a bit of a wreath of Franklin this is never love the. I love you. The amazing the wreath of Franklin and I'm joined in studio by the amusing I'm Anderson Joan and I can't believe that she's just telling me when that record is played that some of the musicians that are on the we are the ones who worked with you on your album yeah the bass player David had played on lots records yeah only until they know they must be like late sixties early seventies there's a guy David had m b s and play and I have a OK's Now Clayton doesn't play a lot track but the Wurlitzer that's used in that he plays and he's played everybody like he's played with all of the greats you know entity and presence Lage all of those guys later sisters everybody yeah and they just come from. Last week do you think David had was we're chatting over lunch and he was there and he was what it was it was dying we're going to share with Cheryl and we were like oh well we knew her and he was like yeah I think you probably would know Michelle Crowe of course Oh sure oh yeah oh yeah and Alicia Keys was in like 2 you 3 weeks before me and is there an atmosphere in that kind of a play is all it's unreal it's the studio's all wooden So it holds energy in the valley because on aerial there are literally really I think I just walk in and you just feel history and did you feel like you hoped your game I mean you've written some great stuff I mean what were the guys like there working with all these huge Liam's What were they like when you started singing and playing with a yeah suppose I was expecting them to be very much there session players I was expecting them to be very much business as usual but I remember the 1st song that we had we started laying at dyner rehearsals and Clayton is on the case and he's like damn this is good girl. How did you learn it was in favor that a little bit on the track but whereby I release and then release them in my single talk at which you were going to play I think and David heard the bass player he was like This is just like Amanda in the pit is like this is. Wow So yeah it was nice to see them get excited by so yeah and what I mean you've been playing live and obviously your mind your voice but what would be your ambition what would you love to be doing if you could be doing anything now and what are you planning to do this year coming up well I suppose I would love to just be rich in New York instance I'd love to be huge in the European festival circuit and I would love to get published and love to get a publishing deal so the songs are used in television adverts not how it works it's not just somebody in a cafe here is one of your songs I guess that's how it come yeah well yeah but more like the more that you really need to chase the business elites push and yeah so at the minute I am like and still work and I work part time and I'm trying to fund all this so it would be really nice to be full time and have a team around me that I can just focus on the creative side put that out to the universe post it on the universal notice portal it totally I don't know Series 4 of the crime that could be you know talk at night because obviously some the royal family are into talking things out at the moment.
