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!
