00:00We are here with Jamie Webster at Transmit 2025, if you'd like to introduce yourself.

00:04Hello, I'm Jamie Webster at Transmit 2025.

00:07How does it feel to be here?

00:09It's always great to be in Glasgow, it's always great to play at this festival.

00:12It's my third time, now my hat-trick, and it just gets better every time.

00:17The people of Glasgow just remind me of the people of Liverpool,

00:21so I always feel at home here.

00:23Just really lucky to have had that experience on the main stage then.

00:27I was buzzing.

00:29What's the wildest gig you've ever been to?

00:35That's a tough one, you know. Wildest.

00:38Yeah.

00:39It would probably have to be when I went to Cream.

00:41Years ago I was a kid and I was into the raves and stuff like that.

00:44I went to Cream one boxing night and I've never, ever been so sweaty in my life.

00:48Yeah, it was until like 6, 7 o'clock in the morning and it was, yeah,

00:52probably my introduction to a proper rave and I loved it. It was a belter.

00:57What music is on your playlist right now?

01:00Oh, I've got like, I like to do a lot of running.

01:03So like, I've got like a running playlist that consists of literally all sorts.

01:08There's, you know, there's stuff that I'd listen to on there, obviously like Sam Fenders and people like that.

01:13But then, you know, you've got a bit of the Beatles. You've got a bit of Kanye West's first album.

01:17You've got a bit of Jay-Z on there. I've got a bit of Glen Campbell. I've got a bit of everything on there.

01:24It's, it's whatever. I like to build it so that I have an upbeat one and then a nice slow one, you know,

01:29to get me breath back if I'm doing a long run. So yeah. And then a lot of, I've got a bit of Supergrass on there lately as well.

01:36And even a bit of Kings of Tomorrow as well. You know what I mean? It's, yeah, it pops off. It's decent.

01:42Who is your dream artist to support?

01:44Bob Dylan, probably. I mean, I know he doesn't tend to have support, but he's like my guru.

01:49And if not him, Paul McCartney. He's the number two for me. Yeah.

01:55Class. Who's your favourite Scottish band?

01:58Ooh. I love Bell and Sebastian. I love The View. I haven't got a guilty pleasure for The Proclaimers, do you know what I mean?

02:05I'd probably go with The View because I've got to know Kyle and I've worked with them on a couple of occasions.

02:12And Face For The Radio was a song that I sort of grew up on. That album, Hats Off To The Buskers was,

02:17it takes me back to a time in my life, you know, where my mates were just getting into that scene.

02:22Yeah, it's quite nostalgic whenever I listen to it. So yeah, I go with The View.

02:26What's the best gig you've ever been to?

02:28Paul McCartney, Glastonbury Pyramid Stage. I don't need to say much else, but obviously being a scoucher.

02:34And like The Beatles, basically paving the way for music as we know today, in my opinion, and in a lot of other people's opinion as well.

02:44Who's the most exciting acts on this year's Transmit line-up?

02:48Well, besides me, it's got to be, I think Wet Leg are cool. I think Wet Leg are really cool, but it's 50 Cent for me.

02:58It's just the 11-year-old me is just absolutely buzzing at the fact that he's on the same stage as me for Warren,

03:04that I'm going to get to see some of these clubs. I'm thinking of his song in the club.

03:08Some of these songs live that have, again, been a big part of my childhood. Yeah, it's got to be him.

03:1695s or 110s?

03:18110s. Yeah, 110s, actually.

03:22And why?

03:24They're just the 110s. That's what they've always been.

03:28Obviously, it's down to opinion, but 110s are...

03:32I think that we are...

03:34Scouts gave them the name 110s, so to us it's always going to be 110s.

03:39That's what I've grew up knowing them as, even though they're not at 110 pounds.

03:42That's why we called them 110s, because we're 110 pounds.

03:45But now they're even dearer, but we still call them...

03:47They're probably double, but we still call them 110s.

03:49And I'm always representing.

03:53Class, thank you very much.
