Bridge FM - What Danny said

The highlights of what Danny said this morning on Bridge FM:

Playing Science and Faith at the start of the show.


Welcome


Mark Franklin welcomes Danny. He said he never interviewed him before but they met. Mark asked Danny if he’s tired. Danny jokes he’s overworked but underpaid.


Busy times


Mark said Danny is so busy with album #3 coming, The Voice, touring..

Danny says he loves what he does. He is privileged. He enjoys every bit of it. He gets to experience different sides of the industry. Recording,  going on tour, doing The Voice.  They recorded the album at night time. And no, he didn’t get a lot of sleep.


Excited about new album and song


Mark asks if Danny is excited about the album?

Danny says, Yes he is very excited. It’s the energy of the new album, the coming back together as a band. Danny says the new album is brilliant. Not that we were ever apart..

Mark says the first single is phenomenal and asks if they are still nervous when releasing a new song?

Danny says they are always nervous. They never take it for granted. He is proud of what they got. They don’t want to let people down, who expect a great album. The Voice has been a great way to expose and get face to the songs. The Voice is a great entertainment show and it has been good for them.


Will.i.am


Will.i.am features on the new single, about the headlock, is that true?

Danny says it’s hard to nail Will down. Never tell an irish man something and be very careful. So yes he took him in a headlock. Will said gimme 20 minutes, and put his vocal in. Will was excited to do it and The Script  were over the moon, they were massive fans of Will.i.am.


About Hall of Fame
Danny says they are most known for The Man Who Can’t be Moved, Breakaven.. but this is going back to their original hip hop roots again.
Hall of Fame is played

Mark says he loves it that he can play loads of Script songs in one go now.


Album release


Mark asked when thealbum is out, Danny says 10 September, and the single 2 September, so shortly before, fingers crossed.


Touring


Mark asks when they will be back on road obviously he heard about the North America dates.
Danny says when the album comes out they will go live. They’ve got some amazing  ideas. They have seen  great bands like U2 and Coldplay and they have to get  a little bit better. They will be touring end this year. Danny says the album could fall flat on its face and they’d then only be seen in bars..


Dublin and audience


Mark says he saw them in Dublin
Danny tells they shot a live DVD in the Aviva. It could hold 55 thousand people. He remembers when they first started there were only 26 people watching, mainly family. Now, 3 years later, new music, see how it grew from 26 people to 55 thousand people.

Mark says everybody definitely has to go and see The Script when they play.

He wishes Danny good luck with #3 and says goodbye.

A song from the first album is played.
