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.
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.
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.
In Ireland, it's been like U2 and The Cranberries, which is rock, but you know they're Irish.
Our parents were musicians.

The greater the struggle the more glorious the triumph
