That was [Abm] Andy Irvine for Balcony TV.
Andy, what's [N] coming up in the future?
Well, I'm off to Japan in a couple of days' time.
Japan?
Yeah.
Very nice.
Yeah, that'll be good.
I've been [Bb] there a couple of [A] times before and I really [Ab] enjoyed it.
I [B] wish I was going to Japan.
Well, come with me. Yeah, [N] okay.
Do you need a standing vase player in case the other guy collapses?
There'll be no money yet, that's the only thing.
I'm used to that.
[Abm] There's no money anymore in anything, so it doesn't matter.
Right, right.
A gig's a gig.
A gig's a gig, exactly.
Well, fantastic.
That was great.
Thank you very much.
