Rising Stars Ratings (Don't forget to vote !):

Q1. Where are you from?

North County Dublin

 

Q2. Musical influences?

Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Wonder, Foo Fighters

 

Q3. What’s your song writing process?

Maurice our guitarist writes the songs, typically a melody comes first with a couple of lyrics. We thrash this out in the rehearsal studio and the song develops from there.

 

Q4. Most bizarre gig experience?

We were playing a gig before and somebody rang in a bomb scare. The manager signaled to us to stop playing and to let everyone know to evacuate the building. After about 10 minutes when the Gardai finished their sweep of the building we went back in and continued on with our set which was quite funny!!

 

Q5. If you could share the stage with anyone, who would it be and why?

It would be amazing to share the stage with Bob Dylan because he is such a legend!
