The Script Are Back For A Cup Of Tea And A Chat...

Hey! Welcome to Sheffield, if you’re a new student, each month I’ll be bringing you some of the interviews I’ve done on my show with some of the stars. I’m on Capital across Yorkshire every afternoon between 4-7pm!

The Script are back! Danny and Mark dropped by Capital for a cup of tea and a chat… 

 1. You have album number 3 out! It’s actually called ‘#3′ – is that right? 

Danny – Yeah that’s right, keeping up with the kids with the hash tags. 

2. What sound are you going for on the new album? 

Danny – It’s different to our previous two, it’s a lot more positive. The last two were all about being broken hearted, but this one is for all the fans that want to have a dance to our music. I would describe it as ‘Pub Songs’. You know, that great vibe you have in the pub on a Saturday night! 

3. So Danny – you were on The Voice last year, it’s coming back for a second series; will you be returning? 

Danny – I loved doing The Voice and I would definitely go back if they asked me. I especially loved the spinning chairs! (Laughs) 

4. (Laughs) Llike a mini waltzer! So, you two have been rumoured to have quite a bromance going on? 

Danny – Yeah I know, we came high up in a list of bromances along with Brad Pitt and George Clooney. 

Mark – We were like, hey – we’ve been friends longer than those boys. 

5. Yeah, so you were friends first? 

Mark – Yeah, the script formed in 2005, but we’ve known each other for about 15 years. 

Danny – We met when I went round to Mark’s to buy some studio equipment from him. He was a bit of a hustler really, as I paid him for the equipment, we became mates and then a month later it was all back down at his house as we were bandmates! 

6. So your single, Hall of Fame, features Will.I.am – did that come from a conversation at The Voice? 

Danny – Yes! Basically it was the last couple of shows, we had a lot of stuff ready for the new album and we played it to him, he loved it and actually wanted it for his album. 

Mark – We told him he’d have to prise if from our cold, dead hands. 

Danny – Yeah, and then Mark suggested that we do it together, a true duet. 

7. So it was a total collaboration then? 

Mark – Yeah – line by line – duet style. 

Danny – We got sick of hearing, ‘featuring’, when the rapper comes in and they haven’t even met or even been in the same country! We wanted to do something different and it really worked.
