00:00Nice to see you. We were just discussing the double denim here. What a look, what a serve.

00:04Thank you, thank you. Well tried.

00:06This is actually my first Summertime Ball.

00:08Is it? Welcome, welcome.

00:10No, no, you get it.

00:12How many have you done?

00:14Two before this is my third.

00:16So it's not like I've done lots, but they're amazing.

00:18Are you enjoying yourself?

00:20So far, yes. I mean, we're in here, so we're not getting to see that much.

00:22But we can hear it, and that's all that matters.

00:24Yeah, you can feel it.

00:26We can feel the vibes. How does it feel to be here solo?

00:28Yeah, it's exciting.

00:30I feel a bit naked without the boys at times,

00:32but it's really nice to kind of step out

00:34and try something different.

00:36Yeah, I'm so proud of the music as well.

00:38So I get to play at Wembley Stadium.

00:40It's crazy.

00:42And how is solo life at the moment?

00:44It's fun, yeah. A lot of gigging.

00:46We've got some great gigs coming up today.

00:48We've got Islay White next week.

00:50Redmond Leeds, Latitude. Lots of great shows.

00:52And then just finishing off the album, really.

00:54So, busy boy, but I'm enjoying it.

00:56So, any dates on the album,

00:58any expectations?

01:00Oh, I couldn't possibly say.

01:02You're a bit busy.

01:04I was tending the double dim on the day.

01:06And you're going to be touring with the boys again, aren't you?

01:08Yes.

01:10So how did that all come about?

01:12Well, we kind of knew we wanted to do that for a while

01:14because we've all explored and are exploring solo projects,

01:16but we're still very much together.

01:18Still best mates, and we still want a gig.

01:20We're just starting the headspace to write an album for us at the moment,

01:22so it's our 10-year anniversary

01:24of our first album, Meet The Vamps,

01:26and we wanted to go out and never played that album in full.

01:28So we're playing it top to bottom,

01:30get to play a lot of fan favourites,

01:32get out and see the fans.

01:34It's all round the UK, so very excited.

01:36How do you think that will be,

01:38reuniting and then getting all together?

01:40It's going to be special, right?

01:42Good, yeah. For a while we nicknamed the tours

01:44The Stag Do.

01:46That was our group's actually called The Stag Do

01:48because we were going on The Stag Do all the time.

01:50So I think it'll be like

01:52we haven't been on tour in a long time,

01:54the four of us.

01:56I think it'll just be nice.

01:58We're brothers, do you know what I mean?

02:00Nice to get everyone back in the room, playing the shows.

02:02Yeah, it's going to be good.

02:04Does it take the pressure off on stage a little bit

02:06when there's more of you?

02:08I mean, it's like

02:10I don't even think about it when I'm playing with those

02:12because we've played together for so long.

02:14When I'm doing my solo stuff like this

02:16because it's all brand new to me

02:18and I'm playing with different musicians

02:20as well, I love them.

02:22Eleanor and James who are playing with me today are fantastic.

02:24But it's kind of like automatic

02:26when you play with those,

02:28with people you've played with for like 12 years.

02:30Yeah, I guess there's a sense of comfort there.

02:32And there's so much love for you guys.

02:34The fans absolutely adore you.

02:36How do you feel about them embracing you

02:38with your solo career as well?

02:40It's been lovely, yeah.

02:42I think I was quite nervous

02:44stepping into it as well

02:46because it's not out of

02:48loving being in the band,

02:50it's just out of exploring something new for me.

02:52So I was very nervous

02:54as to how people were going to react to it

02:56and they've been so supportive.

02:58Like on Cry At The Moon, my first single,

03:00Picasso the second, and the shows have sold out.

03:02My solo shows.

03:04We go on tour at the end of the year

03:06and all those shows have sold out.

03:08So yeah, it's crazy. Huge love to everyone.

03:10All of the fans. Thank you.

03:12What a lovely note to end on.

03:14Good luck. Hopefully I'll get out of this room

03:16Yeah, fingers crossed.

03:18Thank you so much. Nice to meet you.

03:20Bye bye.
