Riley laughs quietly at Jack's impression of a Southerner, clenching his mouth as tightly as possible so not to spit any beer out. It sounds eerily similar to one of his band mates. He finally lets his laughter out after swallowing his gulp of Heineken. "Mate, that was so much like Oscar it was scary. Lad's actually got a dog called Rupert. Rupert and Jasper." While he obviously loves Oscar like a brother, he's not the type of person he'd ever meet let alone associate with had he not been involved in the group. There's not much crossover between Beeston and Mayfair otherwise. Riley nods his head, seemingly in approval of North Shields. "Oh so you're north, north. Just up the A1. Nice. What's your team up there?" Riley asks with an arched eyebrow, ready to make a quip regardless of Jack's answer. Nothing like a playful football rivalry.
When Jack claims he thought Weekend were finished, he nods in agreement. Things have been quiet on the band front for a while so he can understand how many would think that. "Nah, we've actually got like an album's worth of stuff ready to go if we want to. Just been taking it in our stride. Billy's also got his own stuff going on. Not that you'd ever know. He's so low-key and humble, you know?" He playfully scoffs and brings the bottle back to his lips. Billy is many things but modest isn't one of them. "If you get your arse in gear and knock out a few more songs, there might be a little opening slot for you on the tour." Riley playfully teases but there's still some truth in it. They will need some support acts when the time comes after all.
He smiles and nods along as he listens to Jack talk about his ongoing recording sessions, almost feeling the excitement for him. "Yeah, that's the best way to be, mate. Take it in your stride and do what you want in the studio. Don't be afraid to come up with absolutely shit ideas as well. All part of the process. Just do what you do best and it should all piece together. Your wise about not being into all the hype. Congrats on the success, though. Number 1 debut? Even we didn't manage that. Not bitter at all." Riley jokingly scowls and furrows his brows before taking the final sip of his beer. Weekend's first ever release only managed to come in at #2. He looks at the table of finished and near-empty bottles, tapping merrily on the edge of the table. "You want to stick with these or move on to something with more edge?" |

Jack laughs a little as Riley says that his impersonation sounds similar to Oscar, “You really are just a ragtag group of lads thrown together randomly, aren’t yous?” he says with a smile, acknowledging how each member of the group seems to be from such different backgrounds as each other. He nods his head, “Aye, almost as North as you can get in England without being in that weird no mans land of Berwick. Newcastle’s my team, mate. We’ve got a non-league side in North Shields too but we’re all brought up toon fans where I’m from.” He laughs a little, “Aye, aye. Divn’t start with the Saudi money shite. We’ve been badly run for years, it’s about time we get a bit of joy.” He shakes his head, “What about you? Leeds fan? Or another Yorkshire side?”
“Just try prizing Billy away from all that solo success must be a fucking headache in itself.” He says, making reference to Billy’s recent run of solo singles that have dominated the charts, he laughs a little and gives a serious nod when Riley hints that there could be an opening slot on the tour for him, “I’d definitely be up for that. I’ve heard about your tour buses and groupie situation, sounds wild but I think I could probably manage it.” He says with a laugh, making reference to the various stories out there about the behind the scenes antics of the group in their early days.
He finishes up his drink and nods, “Cheers mate, fucks knows how it happened but I’ll take it. I’ll probably hold off on releasing anything soon, not interested in cashing in on the hype. Could probably do with releasing a couple of stinkers just to balance out the expectations a little bit.” He says with a laugh as he pushes his empty bottle to the side towards all the other empties, “Aye, I could with something a bit stronger. What you got in mind?” |

Riley purses his lips and nods along in agreement. They really are from different walks of life. Potentially Oscar and Billy aside, had it not been for the band, there's probably no other way these guys would ever cross paths. "Yeah, we're a mixed bag alright. Tipperary, London, Leeds...Scott's from Stoke-on-Trent. Who the fuck comes from Stoke-on-Trent?" Riley chuckles to himself. It's typical Scott behaviour. Scott's forever the butt of many black sheep jokes in the band. It's all done lovingly, of course. Scott can't even take part in the playful North/Side divide because of course he's from slap bang in the middle. "Yeah, Leeds United here. Top of the EFL..." Riley proudly taps on his chest with a clenched fist before lowering his already deep voice to a mutter, trying to cover his words through a pretend cough. "...after we got relegated."
When Jack brings up the infamous antics of the Weekend tour bus, Riley chuckles and begins to blush ever so slightly. He nervously scratches along his jawline, being caught bang to rights. "Yeah, was well chuffed when people started to blab about all that!" Riley jokingly rolls his eyes, feigning annoyance. "I'm the embodiment of discretion, me. Walking NDA. Whatever happens on the road, stays on the road as far as I'm concerned." Riley laughs and holds his hands up as if surrendering any possible knowledge or judgement concerning touring antics. "To be fair though, doubt it's going to be anything like that this time around. We're getting on a bit. I'm 30 in July. Swear I was 17 just a handful of years ago." Riley curls his lip, looking absolutely disgusted at his own age. He feels it more as he's spent most of his life in a boy band aimed at a young market so hitting the big 3-0 is like having one foot in the grave for a teen idol.
"Think people gravitated towards your track because it's authentic and different. It's fresh stuff. Completely get why it took off like it did. Like I said, just keep on doing you. Just not too much, eh? Leave some room at the top for us too, lad." Riley playfully winks and stands up, tucking and adjusting the bottom of his shirt in the process. "Gonna bob into the toilet then I'll order us some freakishly artificially coloured drinks, what you think?" Riley shuffles around the side of table. "Don't worry, I promise to wash me hands." Riley snickers and gives Jack a pat on the shoulders as he scoots by. |

Jack laughs a little at the joke about Scott being from Stoke and thus being neither one thing or the other, “Stoke-on-Trent? that poor fuckin’ kid.” He says, struggling to find anything meaningful about Stoke. Jack nods as Riley confirms his allegiance to Leeds United, “Aye, Leeds United? I reckon they must be the most universally hated side in English Football.” He says with a small chuckle, fans from up and down the country tend to always dislike Leeds United, regardless of how far away they are from their own side. “To be fair, if I wasn’t a Newcastle supporter I’m pretty sure Leeds would be my side. You’s haven’t been the same since Bielsa left though. What a fuckin’ lad he was!” he says in reference to their beloved former manager.
Jack shakes his head, “That’s got to be the worst kept secret in the music industry.” He says with a light-hearted laugh, it was something that has always been hinted and reported at for years. “Aye, you’s are all quiet choir boys these days, right?” he says with a laugh, knowing that despite how old they may get, they’ll always be the butt of various rumours whether true or untrue it was just part of their burden. “But to be serious, I’d definitely be up for supporting you lot on tour.”
Jack playfully waves his hand in the air as if to wave away the compliment, “Appreciate it, man.” He didn’t really grow up in an area where people would outright support you and compliment you, everything was a lot more subtle. People cared for you and appreciated you, but they tended not to show it so obviously. Jack laughs a little at the idea of freakishly artificially coloured drinks, “Eh, aye I suppose. I was thinking more strong Whiskey, Vodka or Tequila. Dealers choice though.” He says as Riley makes his way from the table. |
