All You Want Is Bellefire

You're back in London! How does London treat you and what are you looking forward to doing while you're here?

Kelly: We're really looking forward to doing MTV's Five Night Stand.

Ciara: We're just looking forward to doing everything really to promote the single. We've just finished a radio tour so we're gonna be doing some TV show over the coming weeks.

The single is released in the UK on 6th May but it has already charted in Ireland, hasn't it? Tell us about that.

Kelly: Yeah, it went to No.5! We were well chuffed. We picked a bad week to release it because it was up against the Pop Idols and Irish Popstars but it was the highest new entry at No.5.

Cathy: It did really well on the airplay as well. If you were over in Ireland you'd be really sick of it by now because its at No.2 on the airplay chart.

Ciara: It was nice because we toured around Ireland as well and did some signings and stuff so we got to meet all the fans which was really nice.

Do you get recognised much now?

Ciara: Sometimes. They're like 'Is that Cathy from Bellefire?!'

Kelly: It's funny that we have got recognised a lot more since we got back from Japan. I went to the cinema one day and afterwards I stopped off at a little chip shops where there were loads of families there and all the kids just looked at me with their mouths open!

Tara: Yeah, it's funny 'coz I was on the bus during the week and I was so embarrassed because I was on my own and I could hear these two girls whispering about whether it was me or not and I just wanted to get off the bus.

Kelly: And in the queue for the toilets after the cinema everybody was like 'It is her! It is her!' I was half expecting a piece of paper to be shoved under the cubicle door for me to sign!

How does it make you feel?

Kelly: It's just weird. It's strange...

Ciara: It's also very special as well.

Cathy: Yeah, it's nice when you see little kids beaming with delight.

What would you say the track 'All I Want Is You' meant to you personally?

Cathy: I love the lyrics and think they are really special. I think it's probably one of the reasons we picked it in the first place.
