I'm
sitting in a hotel lobby in Budapest. We played here last night as part of our
European tour. Off to Vienna now. It's been going great so far. Amsterdam,
Zurich and Budapest have all been sold out
What can fans
expect to experience at one of your shows?
A high
energy sing-along pop rock extravaganza! What is your
favourite song to perform live?
Closer
to You, the lyrics mean a lot to me and it has an epic feel to it. When you’re not
performing what do you do to keep yourself busy when you’re on tour / on the
road?
We're
lucky that we get on really well with each other so it never gets too difficult
on the road. We play Playstation in the van, watch TV series such as Breaking
Bad or The Wire
What’s the best
gig you’ve ever played?
Probably
our 6 night stint in the Olympia theatre in Dublin last Christmas. It's an
amazing venue. I grew up going to shows there, so to sell it out six times was
a really cool moment for us What was the first
gig you ever went to?
My
parents brought me to see the Cranberries in the Point Depot in Dublin when I
was about 12. It has since changed names to the O2 and we're playing there this
December which will be our biggest show ever
Which
other artists are you listening to at the moment?
Mick
Flannery, Hudson Taylor, Roisin O, Bon Iver, Phoenix, Mumford and Sons Which song do you
wish you had written?
Paranoid
Android - Radiohead
Who would you most
like to collaborate with?
Prince
- he's a legend and can play every instrument and would make me look very tall
Plans for the rest
of the year?
This
Euro tour for 2 more weeks, then UK tour for 2 weeks, then O2 Dublin Dec 14th
then Christmas holidays! :)
