this interview is from Evening express and i typed it up for us ..


Westlife cant wait to be back on stage!!

The crowds of North-east music fans who turn up at gigs are just crazy.

And thats why chart toppers Westlife keep coming back . Band member Nicky Byrne says "Its the nothern crazinest?"

The Granite city has made a good impression on the Irish charmers. They are about to hit the stage of the AECC for a third time in a little over a year.

Westlife headline the Asda Be Live gig at the AECC on Sunday 28th October 2007.

Fans going to the show can expect a taste of the past, present ans future as the band performs six songs in the intimate set.

The band's new single HOME is due for release on Monday October 29th will be performed along with classic favourites Flying without wings and You raise me up. And Nicky cannot wait to get back on stage in Aberdeen. He says"Aberdeen is a great place.

I remember we went out and played at the Royal Aberdeen Glof Course in between shows and eveyrone was so nice.

With laughter in his irish lilt, he speaks warmly of love for all things scottish.

The boys feel at home when in North East, and never hesitate when it comes to making a return visit .

Nicky added the fans are just nuts, must be the celtic connection.

Out of all the places, you can guarantee that rain, or snow outsiode hotels,arenas or radio stations you will always have a load of people waiting for you.

Its just such a great place to be, We have so many memories and have great nights out.

Another one of Nicky's memories of Aberdeen, is the intimacy of the gigs the band have played up here.

He said playing a full arena show in a smaller hall rather than a stadium was a challenge but allowed the band to feel closer to the crowd.

And a week on sunday, they will take to the stage after Pacific Avenue and the MacDonald Brothers, theyll experince"the intimate gig"at a whole new level.

The band havent played a gig this small for many years, since before they had their first hit single, swear it again, in March 1999.

Nicky said the thought of playing to a smaller crowd was exciting but scary at the same time .

To be honest with you, it does frighten the life out of me.

You can almost get away with making mistakes when youre playing in front of 15 000 people, because more things can go unnoticed but whe youre playing to such a small number of people, the pressure is on a little bit because youre closer to the crowd.

Fans maybe in for a little treat as Nicky believes that band will arrive on saturday night,prior to the show on sunday.

And the lads intend on heading out on the town for a few drinks refreshments.

Ever the professionals, however the band will make sure theyre on top form for the sunday evening performance.
