the AU review speaks to presenter Katie Noonan on the 2013 ARIA Black Carpet. Due to poor audio, the full transcription has been made available below:
Larry: Lovely to see you again!
Katie: Lovely to see you too!
Larry: I think the last time we spoke you weren't sure if you were coming tonight!
Katie: No I wasn't sure... the record I released this year wasn't eligible for the ARIAs because it had songs from previous releases... so I'm always like, if you're not nominated, you know *shrugs*... but it's a great celebration!
Larry: You are presenting though.
Katie: I am presenting! Which I'm very excited about.
Larry: Which category are you presenting?
Katie: I'm presenting Blues and Roots...
Larry: I was going to guess that one!
Katie: Yeah I'm really looking forward to it. And it's just great to be here celebrating and standing up here and saying "yay" for great Australian music!
Larry: What an incredible year it's been for Australian music. Who are you rooting for tonight?
Katie: I think Flume is probably going to clean up, which is great. I think this is the age of the independents and individual expression. I'm looking forward to the performances! And I'm rooting for the girls I must say, I love Alicia Keys, I love Lorde and I really think Jessica Mauboy is an amazing singer... so I'm looking forward to seeing those three girls rock the house.
Larry: So it'll be a fun night for you!
Katie: Yeah it will!
Larry: I hope you enjoy the night - and maybe we'll see you back next year with a nomination?
Katie: Yeah! It's maybe the first time I'm not nominated in a really long time. So it's kind of nice, because it takes the stress off you, you can get pissed early!
Larry: Just don't fall on the stage and you'll be fine...
Katie: No, I won't do that.
Larry: Well, Jennifer Lawrence got away with it...
Katie: Oh yeah... I don't do stupid heels though, I'm quite practical!
Larry: I expect no less! Well it's lovely to see you as always and I hope your tour at the moment is going well?
Katie: Yeah, we've just had two sold out shows in Adelaide and Melbourne, and we have Sydney and Brisbane coming up!
