So guys, are you looking forward to your first TOTP appearance?
Mark: Oh yeah! I've been watching TOTP since I was a young
fella and now, fingers crossed, there's a chance we could be on
it very soon! It'll be a messive buzz!
Now the Boyzone tour's over how much do you see Ronan?
Kian: We're in touch with him all the time. He rings us nearly
every day, he's a very good friend of ours y'know. We went
to dinner at his house last weekend and stayed over - it was
great crack!
Shane: It's a class house! Ronan's got an indoor swimming pool,
a sitting room to die for, a huge fireplace and massive couches!
What's Ronan really like as a boss?
Shane: He's sound. Everyone thinks he'd be really strict but
he's not. He sees what he saw in himself five years ago and it's
like he's going back to the beginning and living it all over again.
Which other pop people have you been hanging out with?
Kian: We've met Backstreet Boys, oh and we met Baby Spice.
Ronan introduced her to us when we played Wembley. She was
with her boyfriend Jade from Damage, Ronan bought her over
and we were like 'Aaaaaagh! How are you doing?' She's gorgeo-
us! We met Five the other day, they're really nice guys.
How huge would you like Westside to be?
Shane: I want us to be the biggest band in the world! Having
said that, there's some bands you can't beat, like Boyzone and
Backstreet Boys, but we hope to be up there with them event-
ually.
Nicky: We want to last as long as we can and have No 1 singles
and albums all over the world!
Describe each of the band members in one sentence.
Bryan: Nicky looks out for everyone, he's the nice guy of the
band!
Shane: Bryan's the joker, he's always making everyone laugh!
Mark: Shane is a complete split personality, one minute he's
really mature and then next he's a raving lunatic!
Nicky: Kian's really honest, he's very dedicated to making
sure everything goes right for the band.
Kian: Mark's pretty serious, he's quiet but when he say something
you listen because it really means something!
