The Script To perform On Children In Need

The Script have been confirmed in the line-up as an act on BBC Children In Need on Friday 16th November 2012 

Fearne Cotton, Sir Terry Wogan and Tess Daly will present the show. 

The star-studded evening of entertainment will feature music performances from One Direction (who kick off the programme) plus Little Mix, Susan Boyle, Leona Lewis, The Script, Paloma Faith, Il Divo and Tim Minchin. Pop superstars Girls Aloud will also reunite live in the studio for the exclusive first TV performance of their much anticipated official BBC Children in Need 2012 single entitled ‘Something New’. 

The evening will feature films highlighting some of the vital work the charity is doing to change the lives of children throughout the UK. Fearne Cotton will introduce an appeal film on bullying and Robbie Williams will help tell the moving story of a family supported by BBC Children in Need through a time of grief. Olympian Tom Daley will front a film about a teenage hero who has been helped by BBC Children In Need and EastEnders actress Nina Wadia (who plays Zainab) meets a little boy whose life has been transformed by BBC Children in Need’s “Friendship Project”. 

Totaliser updates will be dotted throughout the night to keep viewers up to date with the total amount raised. 

Sir Terry Wogan, BBC Children in Need Life President, says: "BBC Children in Need as ever is graced by the presence of lovely ladies Tess and Fearne, and this year I'll be delighted to welcome Radio 1's morning star, Nick Grimshaw, to prop me up as the Friday appeal stretches into Saturday, and we head for what we hope will be another record-breaking total for the people’s charity. Every year of BBC Children in Need is a shining tribute to the extraordinary generosity of the British people.

Concert: The Script in Los Angeles

Seeing the Irish pop band The Script is like being with an old friend. Singer Danny O'Donoghue's vocals wrap themselves around listeners like a warm embrace. He doesn't shy away from sharing moments like the devastating "If You Could See Me Now" or the heartbreaking "Breakeven." 

So when The Script, with special guest Tristan Prettyman, hit The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday (10/20), it wasn't out of sorts for O'Donoghue to play the part of old friend with the crowd. 

It was during the first song, "Good Ol' Days," the lead-off track on The Script's latest album "3," that O'Donoghue waded into the crowd for the first time. He switched up the lyrics -- which tell the goodtime story of a drunken night out with close friends -- to reflect folks he saw in the audience. The near sold-out crowd welcomed O'Donoghue's lyrical changes and his visit. 

A slight rain fell and it didn't dampen the spirits of fans or the band, which equally showcased songs off all three albums, including "The Script" and "Science and Faith." The Script fans are diehard, knowing the words to each song just a few weeks after "3" was released. 

New songs went over just as well as older tracks like "We Cry," which, like "Hall of Fame," featured the rapping abilities of guitarist Mark Sheehan. "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" was a, well, "moving" performance. O'Donoghue mentioned that the last time The Script was in Los Angeles, fans -- on their own accord -- sang the first verse of "The Man Who Can't Be Moved." This crowd followed the script to a "T" and then the band, which included a touring bass and keyboard player as well as drummer Glen Power, started the song from scratch. 

Sheehan dedicated "If You Ever Come Back" to The Script's time in Los Angeles, the city in which the three Irishmen formed the act. "We'll always come back to California." 

Some songs seemed reimagined, such as "Science and Faith," the title track from The Script's sophomore release. "I'm Yours" was performed acoustically with Power on drums and guitar, O'Donoghue on guitar as well, and the touring bass player. 

"Nothing" was played straight from the album, with a little prop. O'Donoghue, whom Sheehan said has a penchant for drunken-dialing, sang into the phone of a fan who did the same. 

"If You Could See Me Now" was the highlight of the set. The song, written by O'Donoghue and Sheehan about the deaths of their father and mother, respectively, was equal parts telling, heartbreaking and honest, everything that's adorable about The Script. 

Prettyman's short stripped-down set was just as confessional. The former fiancee of pop singer Jason Mraz showcased her latest album "Cedar + Gold," and included in her 20 minutes the song "I Was Gonna Marry You."

The Script's Danny O'Donoghue on relationship advice and losing his father

The Script made a name for themselves with emotional, heartfelt songs like "Breakeven," "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" and "For the First Time." The Irish trio, made up of vocalist and keyboard player Danny O'Donoghue, guitarist Mark Sheehan and drummer Glen Power are back with a new album #3 that hit stores earlier this month. Gimme Noise talked with O'Donoghue ahead of The Script's performance at the Orpheum Theatre on Friday. 

"The goal of #3 was to just stretch the sound," O'Donoghue says. "We weren't looking to try to reinvent the music in general. A lot of bands are trying to change the music industry and we were just trying to stretch The Script. Really we had two albums that were about a guy who was heartbroken all the time and we wanted to share that we're actually quite happy people." 

The new album features upbeat songs like "Hall of Fame" featuring will.i.am and "Good Ol' Days," but also includes the hugely heartfelt tracks that the Script is known for. The song "Six Degrees of Separation" -- rumored to be about O'Donoghue's breakup with model Irma Mali -- follows the range of feelings a person goes through after breaking up. When asked for his best relationship advice O'Donoghue laughs, saying, "Don't get in one in the first place! No, I'm joking. I would say my best relationship advice is to listen more than you talk." 

"If You Could See Me Now," another track from #3, is an emotional tribute to O'Donoghue's late father and to Sheehan's parents, who have both passed. 

"We're a very personal band. We're a band who prefers honesty and a good melody and a good lyric," O'Donoghue says. "Everything that hurts us we put on paper anyway, so the things that hurt the most are the things we most care about. That's why we put it on the album." 

O'Donoghue talks openly about his dad and the pain of losing someone so important to him. 

"You hear it in the song -- my dad means everything to me. Everyone who has a father knows exactly what I'm talking about. He's what I aspired to be. You want to walk like your dad, talk like your dad, dress like your dad, do what your dad did and because you are a boy it's that connection like a daughter with her mother -- it's not any more or any less, but it's a different connection. Losing my father so early on in the career that he was also in -- he was a musician, producer songwriter, he was all those things too- that kind of makes it more painful," O'Donoghue says. 

With the success of their first two albums, O'Donoghue says that there is a bit of pressure with #3, but The Script just wants to put out good music. He is quick to mention that The Script's rise to fame didn't happen overnight. 

"We went from selling 26 tickets at the club to selling 54,000 tickets four years later," O'Donoghue says. "It was a long time coming because we'd been working on it for such a long time. We've been unsuccessful for longer than we've been successful." 

The Script will play Friday, October 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the Orpheum Theatre, located at 910 Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. Tickets are $38.50.

6 reasons why The Script's Danny O'Donoghue loves touring

Danny O’Donoghue would spend the rest of his life touring if he could. 

For one, it would mean his Irish rock trio, The Script, is still drawing an audience even as the band gets older. Second, he enjoys the life of a touring artist, unlike other acts that do it only out of necessity. 

The “Breakeven” and “For the First Time” band is currently promoting “#3,” the band’s third album, and will perform Saturday at the Aragon Ballroom. Here, the 32-year-old O’Donoghue explains why he loves life on the road (and believe it or not, it has nothing to do with partying): 

Performing: That’s No. 1. I have people I’ve never met singing songs back to me that I wrote in diary form late at night. Strangers have our name tattooed on their arms and are singing with tears in their eyes. It’s an amazing feeling. Everything pales in comparison to walking out on stage. That’s why we do it. I know other bands wouldn’t tour if they didn’t have to. It’s not for everybody. But I have less attachments. 

Fresh start: It’s a crazy thing to do. To get up every morning somewhere new and guess where everything thing is. Where’s the tea? Where’s the shower? Where are we getting breakfast? I’m able to say “Where’s the toilet?” in 40 different languages. I like the idea of getting a fresh start. 

Reflection: I get a lot of thinking done. I think so many times you don’t get to do that. There’s so much going on — sitting at a desk, checking email, going to someone’s birthday. On the road, there are times when it’s only you and your brain. There are very little distractions. That’s where the songs come from. Those moments of isolation. 

New city, new food: As a young fellow, I stuck to my favorite main meals, like chicken. (Touring) is a great way to sample the local cuisine and stuff you wouldn’t necessarily have to eat back home, like vegetables. You get a great palate. I didn’t really get the point of Indian food. Why would I want to burn my mouth? I want to savor the flavor. But I ended up falling in love with it. 

Sight seeing: I’m a photographer everywhere I go. And I can’t just take one shot. Every venue we go to, I shoot footage. I have a photographic diary of all the places I’ve been to. When we get to a new city, I head out and ask, “What’s the best thing about (Washington) D.C.?” and I’ll go to the White House and Lincoln Memorial and photograph everything. We go to places on tour that I was never able to afford. The first time I was on a plane was when I was 15. 

Camaraderie: There are 14 or 15 of us doing this, so you’re not the only one going through this every day. It’s an amazing bond, and we’ll all have the memories. In 30-40 years, I can say we did some amazing things together, and they can verify the whole story.

The Script brings its hits to Hard Rock

Hard Rock Live, 6060 Universal Blvd., Orlando

Thursday, Nov. 1  8 P.M

Tickets $31 to $51 

INFO: Call 407-351-LIVE or visit www.thescriptmusic.com. 

THE STORY: Dublin Ireland’s chart-topping trio The Script will perform next week at the Hard Rock Live in support of their recently released third CD, aptly named “#3.” The CD, which features the chart-topping single “Hall of Fame,” featuring will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, is the followup to the critically acclaimed “Science & Faith” CD, which debuted in 2010, peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard music charts and featured the hit singles “For the First Time” and “Nothing.” 

The trio broke on to the music scene with their enormously successful self-titled CD release in 2008 that featured the chart-topping “Breakeven” and “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved,” among others. The Script features the crystal clear vocals of Dublin-born lead singer and keyboardist Danny O’Donoghue, his longtime friend (and former Mytown band mate) Mark Sheehan on guitars, and Glenn Power on drums. 

I spoke with Glen Power about their new CD, their sound and how life has changed while their success grows. Let’s Shake, Rattle & Know: The Script 

Question: It seems like your second album had wrapped before your first album really caught on here in the States. Why do you think it took so long for the band to catch on here? 

Glen: I think it just comes down to your country is just so big. I call it Planet America. There is so much to cover, whereas in the U.K. we can get around a lot quicker and get embedded there. I think a big part of the magic is seeing us live and that helps to build a fan base, so we had to get around and do some tours here while still keeping it going overseas as well. I think our first album got some people interested and they wanted to see us, and once they came to a show and saw us they were fans. It just takes longer as big as the U.S. is. 

Q: As an artist, which do you enjoy more, the recording process or playing live? 

Glen: Live. I enjoy real people. There are always those moments in the studio where you feel like you have done something special, but it’s not the same as playing live and the psychological preparation to go play live. The feedback is instant. In the studio it is just you, the band and some engineers and it’s just the same feeling. I enjoy the creative side of things, but playing live is more enjoyable for me. 

Q: You have a unique sound but, for comparison sake, people will always try and compare you to some other band. What comparisons have you heard? 

Glen: Sure, we all get comparisons. The band has been fortunate with being compared to bands like U2 and Coldplay and some really great bands. For us, I am sure they choose U2 because we are both Irish, but we don’t have the same sound. We try and stay as original as we can be, but some of the people they have compared us to is such a huge honor and we are so appreciative to even be mentioned with those groups. 

Q: How does the new album (“#3”) differ from your previous records? 

Glen: It is just us moving forward and doing what is current. I think it’s more Top 40. We never really used trigger samples like we did on this record and the album shows us pressing forward and not as acoustic-based as our other records. Despite the progress, we still stayed very true to who we are. 

Q: Has becoming so recognizable as a band made everyday life a little more challenging? 

Glen A little bit. It really just takes a while to get used to. When you see someone looking at you, you first think, “Oh, do I have something on my face?” and then you remember, “Oh yeah, I’m in a band they know.” It isn’t a hassle though and hasn’t been too crazy. Maybe it will get a little bit more so now that we have our third album out. Back home, people know me and pretty much leave me alone. But when people want a picture with you or an autograph, I am honored and respectful. I mean, as kids, isn’t that what we all dreamt of; that people would want their picture with you and your autograph? 

Q: If you hadn’t made it in music, what do you think you would be doing today? 

Glen: I would still be trying to make it in music. I have never even thought of anything else. 

Q: Getting signed to a major record label is harder now than ever before. How did The Script get their first big break? 

Glen: It all comes down to the music. Mark’s contacts and street sense make the difference. I think we were attractive to a label because we had Mark and Danny and, with their experience and contacts, we were ready to go. We could produce ourselves and keep costs low, and I think that was a big factor. It is tough now, because there is so much illegal downloading and the economy being so bad, labels often struggle to make it. In the end, it all comes down to music, though. If you are making great music, people will find you and you will want to be heard. 

Q: What is probably the biggest misconception people have about you as a musician? 

Glen: That’s a tough one. No one has ever really said anything to me that seemed way off-base. I think one misconception people have is that we don’t get nervous anymore. We are still human and, of course, we still get nervous. I think if you really care about what you are doing, you will get nervous. If there comes a time you don’t care anymore and that’s why you aren’t nervous, then maybe it’s time to re-evaluate what you are doing.

A pint of Guinness with Danny O’Donoghue

The Script frontman, 32, takes Fabulous for a pint of Irish holy water to tell us the truth about The Voice, his new album and what really happened with Bo Bruce. 

Danny and Fabulous‘ Danielle get stuck into the black stuff

Where The Duke of York, St John’s Wood, London 

That pint seems to be going down very easily, Danny! 

Well I’m from Dublin so of course I love Guinness. We’ve got a song on the new album called Good Ol’ Days about being down the pub with mates, and it would be perfect for a Guinness commercial. Do you think they might sign me up for an endorsement deal? 

Haven’t you got enough on? 

This year has been so, so bloody busy. I’ve filmed The Voice, we’ve been in the studio recording our new album, we’ve got a UK tour then a tour in Australia. 

Wow, you are a busy boy. Now spill the beans, are you going to return to the next series of The Voice? 

If they’ll have me – I have to wait and see, but a slot’s been cleared in our schedule in case I go back. Though

I hear they had to spend more time editing out my cursing than they did making those spinning chairs! 

Danny and Bo duet on The Voice

Potty mouth! You’ve found time to record a new album though… 

I think we hit an emotional level with this album. There’s a song called If You Could See Me Now, which is about my father Shay passing away nearly four years ago, and Mark’s [Sheehan, Danny’s band mate] mum and dad who died when he was 12. The place he feels able to let his feelings out is in a song. 

Is that how you and Bo Bruce got so close on The Voice, because you could empathise with her losing her mum? 

I knew a bit of what she was going through, and what she had to do to get out and go on stage every week was very special. 

There are rumours you split with your girlfriend [model Irma Mali, 28] and started dating Bo during the show… 

Nothing happened. When you’re on a show like that, the interest is crazy. I worked closely with Bo, but she’s got new management so we’re not in contact. 

What did Irma make of it all? 

She says they can say whatever they want. She’s a very solid and good person. I’m sure it affects her though. 

You were together for four years, do you think you’ll get back together? 

I do still wear her ring, but I suppose I’m young, free and single. It’s difficult because any potential suitors are going to be sitting there thinking: “Oh I’m not going to date him, I’m going to end up in every paper from here to Timbuktu.” 

You must be getting loads of female attention after the show, though? 

The amount of knickers I’ve been sent have reached Tom Jones levels! It’s a nice feeling having everyone wanting to shake my hand. 

The Voice’s ratings were quite disappointing. Would you make any changes to the new series? 

I’m not a TV man, I do the music. It’s hard to keep 12 million people happy, but the chair rounds were brilliant. I guess the last live round felt like it was drawn out a little bit so I think they are looking into changing that. Or maybe get rid of me! No, that’s a joke. I want to come back I had a f*****g great time!
