01:28And Buzz to the Raytons. Them are top ten. And why is that? Is it because they're a

01:32local band? Yeah a bit of everything. And Red Smoke and all. I'm a Blade so Red Smoke

01:47tomorrow so I can't wait it'll be good. And why is that? Just some good classic

01:52songs I think like I said you don't get much like indie rock bands anymore so I

01:56think playing at an occasion like this it's good and especially when weather's

01:59nice it's all good. Yeah definitely and did you go to pop last night? I went to

02:03pulp. They were all right. For a Sheffield band I'd think they were good but they're not as

02:08good as they could have been. They were a bit slow in places but it was still good. It was good vibe. Fair enough.
