I would like not only to have a successful band, but I want to have children, a home, and a husband. Two or three. Children, not husbands!!!
We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.
We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music.
A lot of the songs are written on piano or guitar, so I contribute, and I have done so since the beginning. So it's been good to be involved completely musically as well.
Waking up with a bad head in the morning is difficult sometimes.
And I've played piano since I was little, so I was originally the piano player in the band.
Well I had a musical background, but I still didn't know a lot about drums at the time.
It's been crazy trying to tour with a baby. But it's actually working out okay.
I do like to look at female drummers, because I am one.
Oh yeah, we all write. That's what's great about when you have basics in piano.
I listened to a lot of bands that were happening at the time, but no one in particular.
I remember my first show was a live TV show in Ireland, and I was just petrified. It was horrific.
Actually, I wear the nail polish to hide how grubby my nails are.
I used to play the piano in the band, and so there's some horrendous scenes of me playing the keyboards.
There was no one in particular I really tried to copy.
Our parents were musicians.
In Ireland, it's been like U2 and The Cranberries, which is rock, but you know they're Irish.
Our parents were very strict. Not in a brutal or awful way, but there were definite rules, such as after six on a school night you didn't go out, and at weekends you had to be home by a certain time. It wasn't particularly sheltered, but we were well brought-up.
I've always stayed pretty fit. I felt I needed to give myself energy by exercising and things like that.
Yes, my mother was a singer, and my father played piano and keyboards. They were in a band together, though they also had regular jobs because they had kids and stuff like that.
I mean, y'know, platinum is different in every country, which can be confusing.
