The Hollyoaks Music Show with Matalan

Let's get Ronson out of the way...
You featured on his debut album six years ago! How did that come about?

We met probably about seven years ago. He heard a demo I made when he was a DJ. He was just starting to work on his debut album and then got in contact with me out of the blue and invited me to come over to New York.

You now live in New York, so I presume that prevents you, in some measure, from watching Hollyoaks?

You know what, I feel bad because I've never seen it.

Well, you performed very well at MOBs, perhaps you could work there if the singing career falls apart?

Yeah, that's the plan B.

Ever done any acting?

No, I don't think I'm very good at acting. Maybe I should get some tips of the cast?

Is there an Australian version of the 'Oaks?

Well I don't know what the English version is!

Think Beverly Hills 90210, but a bit less glamorous...

Could it be like Neighbours or Home and Away?

Nah, they're not equivalents...

Well, you seemed to have answered your own question.

No, I don't think I have. I am yet to find the Australian equivalent of Hollyoaks...

Merriweather brings his crew and cravat to MOBS. There's pictorial evidence in Episode Four Gallery!
