Are you pleased to be dancing?
Mark: Yeah, definitely. I always like new things – too much repetition isn’t good!
Nicky: Absolutely. Before we had our record deal we were like every other boy band out there, singing and dancing. We know we’re not N’Sync but we don’t want to be on stools all the time, standing up for the key change. There’s gotta be a happy medium.
What are you most proud of?
Nicky: It’s not a typical boyband show. It’s not cheesy. We wanted to do a show which would beat Boyzone and Take That, and we’ve come up with something good. You won’t see us having a fake game show in between songs!
Kian, you come on stage with your guitar…
Kian: Why not? It’s just for fun. It’s not like we’re saying “let’s prove the critics wrong because we do have talent! – but I might play the piano in the next one…
Do you have to run off the stage at the end?
Shane: We run off stage at the end and someone plonks a towel on our heads, then we’re on the bus in seconds and back in the hotel bar.
Where does the tour go after this?
Bryan: We do five dates in Europe, then we go back to Asia and Tel Aviv, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Portugal, South Africa…it’s a long old trip but it’ll be good.
Which dates are you looking forward to most?
Shane: I’m just enjoying every day. Every night is different end every night is special.
Kian: I’m gonna start flying my friends and family over to party every weekend. I’m enjoying myself too much not to have them involved!
