When did you first meet?
Kavana: On the Boyzone tour.
Sean: We met before that, didn't we?
K: No, it was at the airport on the tour.
S: Oh yeah!
K: I was sat with Nigel my manager and about 1200 bags of luggage!
K: We got chatting traight away. It was a case of, 'I like you and you like me,' so we became mates.
S: Which was funny cos I don't really get on with many pop stars. But Kav just seemed to be the same as me.
K: And we had the same suit bag, didn't we?
S: We had the same bag, trainers and cap, we looked flippin' odd!

So Sean, did you take young Kav under your wing and lead him down the path of Laddom?
S: Well yeah, I suppose so. On that tour there was me, Kav, my cousin who's my tour manager, Kav's tour manager and Keith
from Boyzone, and we all knocked about with each other.

And was a wild time had by all?
S: It was wicked!
K: (Grins) We can't tell you half of it!
S: Most of it was probably illegal!

Go on, you can tell us!
S: Weeeeellll, we had too much shandy-booze every night, we erm, did stupid things, we broke some furniture, got chucked
out of hotels, you know, the usual stuff.
K: (Grinning naughtily) And we suffered the next mornings with hangover hell.

Erm, chucked out of hotels?
S: Well, that was from a party of Keith's we went to in Manchester. It wasn't my fault, it was more Keith's. We were banned
from all the hotels in Manchester, we couldn't check in anywhere.
K: Word soon got around about what happened and we may was well have been banned from every place in the whole city!
S: We just messed around a bit and did a bit of damage to the hotel, so we were banned. Which is ridiculous because we're
such nice chaps.

Why didn't you stop at Kav's mum's?
K: (Laughing) She wouldn't have us either!

Isn't it indie bands who are supposed to do all this rock 'n' roll stuff?
S: I think they're under pressure to be bad because it's expected of them.
K: They don't get excited about it. We do.
S: I'm just as entitled to have a good time and Kav seems to have the same ideas.
K: What you do in your private life is your own business as long as you don't go berserk.

The lads seem to be thoroughly enjoying themselves now, time for the risque stuff...

So, erm, who got off with the most girls on the tour?
S: Well, I was actually going out with someone so...
K: Yeah, you weren't, erm, really dabbling, were you?

Hmmm. So who would normally snog the most girls on tour do you reckon?
S: (Immediately) Kav!
K: No, Sean would! I'm not as forward as he is. I'm laid back me, I like the girls to come to me, but it means I don't usually get
many! Heh heh!

Have you picked up any pulling tips from each other on your travels?
K: Oh yes, (nodding at Sean and laughing) I've learnt from the maestro himself.
S: Well, what can I say?!
K: It's almost like you're in a priveleged position when it comes to meeting girls.
S: We'd be lying if we said we didn't take advantage of it now and again. I'm not saying I do anything immoral (grins) but you
can't live like a monk, can you?

But as pop stars it can't be difficult to get a girlfriend, can it?
K: Wrong!
S: You do have to make an effort. Girls often have the idea that you're going to mess 'em around just because they think you'll
have loads of girls chasing you.
K: That's right, so you end up spending half your time convincing them that you're not going to.

You can't blame them though, can you?
S: No, but that's not our fault. If I'm chatting up a girl and after ten minutes they say, 'Oh yeah, I bet you say this to all the girls,'
I just walk off. I mean, what can you say to convince them otherwise? Don't you find that, Kav?
K: Yeah.
S: If I can't win them over I'm not going to stand around and wait for them to change their minds.
K: Yeah.
S: I mean, we're not toasters, we don't come with any guarantees!
K: Erm, yeah.

Would either of you go out with other pop stars?
K: I suppose another pop star would understand what the life was like, but I'd rather go out with someone normal.
S: Competition, yeah! Imagine living with another pop star! It would just be too much.
K: Oh yeah, none of that Liam and Patsy stuff. I wouldn't turn down the occasional supermodel though.
S: Be rude not to.
K: Got to have manners, haven't you?

What's your getting-ready-to-pull ritual and how do you dress to impress?
K: Well, I don't know about Sean but I spend so much time in dressed-up clothes for TV and photo shoots that when I go out
with my mates I just wear jeans and stuff.
S: Unless you're on a big night out, that is. We have to wear jazzy stuff as our work clothes so we dress up in jeans and t-shirt
for a Saturday night. I don't mess about, me. Shower, shave and then put gear on.
K: I have a shave before my shower, erm, not that I have to shave that much.

And do you put aftershave on straight afterwards so that it stings?
S: Of course! It's a pain thing. It hurts but you feel good afterwards.
K: It's good for you!
S: It pays later. It's lovely when a girl comes up to you and starts sniffing your neck and says, 'Ooh, you smell lovely!' I like
Polo.
K: I'm into that cK be, the new Calvin Klein one. I bought it in America.

Where in the world are the most beautiful girls?
S: Everywhere but where I am!
K: That's so true! When I'm looking I never see anyone I'm like, then when I'm rushing around travelling I'll see a glimpse of
someone I really fancy and I can't get to them.
S: And you always look horrible when you see someone gorgeous.

How easy is it to resist temptation when you're going out with someone?
K: (Silence) Hard!
S: Very hard! (Puts on a false voice) But it's very important to be a loyal and loving person.
(Both burst out laughing)

Are you jealous over your girlfriends?
S: I'm extremely jealous.
K: So am I!
S: What star sign are you?
K: Scorpio.
S: I'm Aries, but I don't know what it means.
S: I like to flirt, but if it goes the other way round I hate it, I'm the worst.
K: Aww. It's awful, I hate being jealous. If I like the look of someone in a room and she's talking to someone else I hate it.

Where's the best place to pull?
K: Anywhere!
S: Yeah, anywhere, preferably where there are some other people!
K: Yeah, like Marks & Spencer.
K: Clubs, parties...
S: That ahem, tour party...

Sean, if you were out with Kav and he started snogging someone and you knew he'd regret it in the morning, would
you step in?
S: Erm, no!
K: He's just laugh at me in the morning.
S: Yeah, I'd just rib him the next day. I'd say, 'And what about you last night?' It's like a school trip every time we go on tour.
K: Oh it is, isn't it!
S: Just like a school journey, everyone getting off with people. Ooops, I shouldn't have said that!

Sean, describe Kav's ideal women.
S: Dark hair, olive-skinned, dark eyes, erm, nice figure (Kav nods enthusiastically), like the woman in his video!
K: Oh, she was really gorgeous! But right at the beginning she said, 'No snogging! I don't do snogging scenes!' Mind you, I
could have been her little brother.

Kav, what about Sean's ideal woman?
K: Someone who...
S: Yeah that's right, someone who's dead sexy on the outside, but who as a down-to-earth interior.
K: I tend to like women who are pretty loud and sure of themselves.
S: I don't specify one particular type of girl. Someone who makes me laugh. Witty humour, I find that attractive.

Who's your sexiest famous person?
S: I never really fancied anyone famous. Except once there was a girl who was in Home and Away, Rebekah Elmaloglou.
K: Oooh yeah, she was gorgeous!
S: Oh, and Uma Thurman, Cindy Crawford and a model called Bridget Hall - I deeply fancy her.

Give us a typical Kav and Sean chat-up line.
S: I might say, 'I quite fancy you, how do you feel about that?'
K: I just go up and start chatting to them. I'll say, 'Hiya, how you doing?' The trouble is, I come across as Mr. Nice Guy, you
know, little Kavvy. They don't fancy nice blokes.
S: Girls are going to go mad when they read this, but it seems the more attitude you have, the more girls seem to like you!
K: It's true!
S: Yeah, you have to act as if you're having a good time with your mates and then casually make some eye contact and not be
too smooth.
K: You can say a lot with your eyes!

Where's the most unusual place you've committed ruderies?
K: Under a bed. There was a pizza there and we ate it afterwards.
S: In a car - it was moving too!
K: What about in a plane?
S: Oh yeah, on the way to the Maldives there wasn't much room in the toilets but we managed!

What about a mate's girlfriend?
S: Well, that depends. I mean, in theory, no but...
K: If you're in love, you're in love, and you can't do anything about it, can you? You just have to go with the flow.
