0:10:02 > 0:10:07Good afternoon, everybody and welcome to the wonderful show
0:10:07 > 0:10:10that is going to be Afternoon Delight!
0:10:10 > 0:10:12CHEERING
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Please welcome to the stage, Sara Ni Chuireain!
0:10:34 > 0:10:38..and I walked up to him and I was like, "Jimmy!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41"I'm here for the taxi!". Jimmy didn't speak any English.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44And so Jimmy was like, "Mm, si, grazie."
0:10:44 > 0:10:46LAUGHTER
0:11:47 > 0:11:50It's based on storytelling to a large extent, you know,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54and anecdotes and that's your raw material.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You know, it's... You start with having something to say or, like,
0:11:57 > 0:12:01a message to convey or something to talk about and then the jokes
0:12:01 > 0:12:03are all about how you illustrate that. How you can
0:12:03 > 0:12:06"punch it up" as Americans would say, like, to make it funnier,
0:12:06 > 0:12:11but it always starts with the story, you know, and that can be dramatic
0:12:11 > 0:12:14or whatever but people usually want more from their comedy as well,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16it's not just about laughing. There's a lot more substance to it.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Jimmy had three teeth and a cowboy hat on and we organised
0:12:25 > 0:12:27a taxi for the next day. Brilliant, happy days. I was like...
0:12:27 > 0:12:31And we got it for a reduced price because that's what it means
0:12:31 > 0:12:32to be this attractive.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03And I was like, "Jimmy, buddy, like, come on,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05"don't leave me hanging here. This is my time."
0:13:05 > 0:13:07And he turned the corner, right,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11and there was four horses in front of us, and Jimmy went, "Taxi!"
0:13:11 > 0:13:12LAUGHTER
0:13:12 > 0:13:15And I went, "No, Jimmy, that's a horse. That's several horses."
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Lads, thank you very much, yous have all been brilliant, thank you.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Now, Rioghnach, the sound of this group, Honeyfeet, is something else.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I've heard them described as, let me get this right...
0:15:45 > 0:15:49"Folk-hop and barrelhouse blues pop." Tell me about the group.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53A bit of wonky pop, yeah.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55That's a good way of describing it.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58We're a bunch of musicians from Manchester that've been
0:15:58 > 0:16:01playing together for about ten years.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Met each other on various jazz and blues and jam scenes
0:16:05 > 0:16:07and circuits around Manchester.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10And when you moved from Armagh to Manchester,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- did music help you to get settled? - Indeed. It keeps you going.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16There's Irish music every night of the week,
0:16:16 > 0:16:21there's a session every night in Manchester but also there's so
0:16:21 > 0:16:25many other types of genres and circuits about that
0:16:25 > 0:16:29it's so easy to fall in with like-minded people and play
0:16:29 > 0:16:33together and learn folk music from all over the world together.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36So that's what gets you through the winters, I think.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39That really inspires you because you, particularly in the last
0:16:39 > 0:16:4312 months, you've had a phenomenal time because you're now the...
0:16:43 > 0:16:46One of the lead singers with the Afro Celt Sound System,
0:16:46 > 0:16:48you're in another group called The Breath.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Honeyfeet has been on the go constantly in the background
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- and you're also doing your own thing, Rioghnach.- Yeah.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- It's been an amazing journey. - Yeah, well, you know, yeah,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59you keep session working over the years
0:16:59 > 0:17:03and you adapt out to...left, right and centre with other bands
0:17:03 > 0:17:05but this is my family band, I think.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09This is what's kept me strong all these years and got
0:17:09 > 0:17:11me through it, I think.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14But despite being over there so long, the accent's still there.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Oh, I'd be killed if I lost my accent, I think.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18PRESENTER LAUGHS
0:17:18 > 0:17:19I wouldn't be allowed home.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22And the music at the heart of it, the music that you learnt in Armagh,
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- still inspires you?- Yeah, well, I grew in the Armagh Piper's Club
0:17:27 > 0:17:31so, you know, you lock in with people every time you're home and
0:17:31 > 0:17:34my brother, Laughlin, plays banjo and my sister plays concertina
0:17:34 > 0:17:36so we play together whenever we're home.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39And special significance there with the song you're going to
0:17:39 > 0:17:42perform a little later on as well. Yes, indeed.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Sort of, um, a modern-day immigration song, I think.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46- Lovely.- Yeah.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36# Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39# Every time she walks down the street... #
0:18:47 > 0:18:49# ..I wanna hold her Wanna hold her tight
0:18:49 > 0:18:52# Get teenage kicks right through the night... #
0:19:16 > 0:19:19# Now I've got a cousin called Kevin
0:19:19 > 0:19:22# He's sure to go to heaven... #
0:19:41 > 0:19:43# ..My perfect cousin... #
0:20:34 > 0:20:35It was in a scout hall.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Feargal Sharkey, our singer,
0:20:37 > 0:20:44he was a sort of scout leader at the time so he managed to get us
0:20:44 > 0:20:46a show basically in front of these little scouts...
0:20:46 > 0:20:50ranging from seven- to 12-year-olds or whatever.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54About 40 of them and we played six songs or something like that
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- so that was our very first concert. - Really rock 'n' roll.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- It went down really well. - It made me nervous, doing it.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- I wasn't nervous!- Still am nervous.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Then there was that infamous moment when John Peel played
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Teenage Kicks twice in a row on BBC Radio 1.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Where were you when that happened? Do you remember it?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16We were all huddled around the radio at nine, you know,
0:21:16 > 0:21:17waiting for him to play the record.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21But we knew he was going to play it sometime on that day.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23But the fact that he played it, right,
0:21:23 > 0:21:26and then he said something, whatever it was, like,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28"Oh, that was so good I'm going to play it again,"
0:21:28 > 0:21:29and I was like, "Wow!"
0:21:29 > 0:21:32And then the phones started ringing and everybody, all our friends,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- "Did you listen to John Peel? It was amazing!"- Yeah, it was very good.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Just amazing, it was like a dream come true.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Was there a stage, then, that you actually thought,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42"We've made it here"?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44We'd always had an ambition to be on Top Of The Pops
0:21:44 > 0:21:46so even though we weren't very careerist,
0:21:46 > 0:21:50we always loved Top Of The Pops from watching it in the '70s.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56But when it's on TV, when you watch yourself, it's the greatest thing.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58# I wanna hold you Wanna hold you tight
0:21:58 > 0:22:02# Get teenage kicks right through the night
0:22:02 > 0:22:03# All right... #
0:22:16 > 0:22:19# Little Mummy's boy
0:22:19 > 0:22:22# He wasn't very old
0:22:22 > 0:22:25# Though he was very small
0:22:25 > 0:22:28# He did what he was told
0:22:28 > 0:22:30# Jimmy Jimmy
0:22:32 > 0:22:33# Jimmy Jimmy
0:22:33 > 0:22:36# Oh, Jimmy Jimmy
0:22:37 > 0:22:40# Poor little Jimmy wouldn't let go... #
0:24:15 > 0:24:18MUSIC: All I Know by Honeyfeet
0:24:39 > 0:24:45# She knew that he was not right
0:24:45 > 0:24:51# She could tell by the look in his eyes
0:24:54 > 0:25:01# And I watched through an open door
0:25:01 > 0:25:05# And I turned the flickering gas lamp
0:25:05 > 0:25:10# Till I could breathe a normal way
0:25:10 > 0:25:16# There are places that I can't go
0:25:17 > 0:25:24# There are faces that I won't see again
0:25:24 > 0:25:31# And there is family I won't know
0:25:32 > 0:25:44# There are people that can't be alone
0:26:03 > 0:26:08# So turn those faces and walk those lines
0:26:08 > 0:26:16# And choose the path that your fathers wrote for you
0:26:16 > 0:26:21# I'll bury my children
0:26:21 > 0:26:24# Beneath your sunrise
0:26:24 > 0:26:29# And I'll howl and I'll beg
0:26:29 > 0:26:34# Till the dawn comes
0:26:34 > 0:26:38# There are places that I can't go
0:26:40 > 0:26:48# There are faces that I won't see again, no
0:26:48 > 0:26:55# And there is family I won't know
0:26:55 > 0:27:07# There are people that can't be alone
0:27:10 > 0:27:12# Alone
0:27:12 > 0:27:17# Alone
0:27:17 > 0:27:25# Alone I'll go out on your cobbled stairs. #
