The Unofficial Next Of Kin  Fan Club


An interFrom Capital radio

They're all still in their teens and brilliant musicians. Set to release their second single 'More Love', we show them no mercy for being so good, so young, as we put them through the hottest grilling in pop.

How is everything?

Nathan: Quite scary, two years ago nobody had heard of us and now we can't go anywhere without being recognised and mobbed - it's getting ridiculous. On the way in here we were handed all these love letters from the girls outside. I don't mind a bit. No-one wanted to go out with me a couple of years ago and now I get lots of lovely offers!

Kieran: yeah it's great, but there's one girl who follows us absolutely everywhere and she can be a bit scary sometimes. In fact even our manager is scared of her ! It's good though to be getting all this attention, we're doing lots of TV for the new singles, so lots of rehearsals and things.

Mark: Getting lots of fans, more exposure, so the schedule is a bit more hectic but we're getting good reactions to what we're doing, so it's good.

Were you pleased with the reaction to the debut single '24 Hours From You'?

Mark: It was amazing actually. When it was released we had a really small fan base of about 1,000 and we put details of the fan club in the CDs and wherever we played and now we've got over 35,000 members of the fan club.

Did you enjoy supporting Boyzone on their greatest hits UK tour?

Nathan: It was great, we did all the 19 UK dates including the massive open air concert in Dublin in front of 40,000 people and the worse part was that it was during the day. Normally we're on at night, but we could see everybody and it was really scary!

Mark: That doesn't bother me, it doesn't make much difference to what I'm doing but it was so cool because we had a private jet to take us from Glasgow to Dublin to be there in time.

Kieran: It was great, but the plane was really noisy so we couldn't talk to each other and when the pilot came in to land he turned the plane so steeply we were all convinced the wing was going to clip the runway and we were all going to crash and die!

Nathan: Yeah, but what was really cool was that if you stood up in your seat you could see the runway approaching as we were coming in to land, just like the pilot. You can't do that in a normal plane.

Best bit?
Mark: I got to play golf with Keith at the Belfry. And I beat him!

Worst bit?
Kieran: Travelling for eight hours from Brighton to Glasgow in our van, which is pretty big but once we get everything in there, there's hardly any room for us, it was a bit cramped!.

What's your favourite time of the day?
Nathan: The time I get to spend in the gym. I can just switch off and get away from everything.
Kieran and Mark: Dinner time! There's nothing like having a big plate of something scrummy in front of you when you're starving hungry.

Who's Sexy?

Nathan: Cameron Diaz
Kieran: Sandra Bullock
Mark: Alicia Silverstone

What are your favourite films?

Nathan: The Exorcist - I've seen it loads of time.
Kieran: The Cable Guy
Mark: Bean Goes to Hollywood

What are the plans for the rest of the year?

Nathan: We release our new single 'More Love' on the 7th June, and then another single in August, with the album out in September - but that's all done - we had half of it written before we even got our record deal.
