// You just released a most unusual (and lovely!) video for Untie The Noose, narrated ‘silent movie’ style. How did you come up with the story and concept?
The screenplay for the video was written and directed by Wexford best selling author & playwright Paul O’Brien.
// You guys played heaps of festivals this summer, any favourite moments?
Le Cheile was eventful. Our fiddle player James (Danko) started getting small chest pains on the drive up from Wexford. By the time we got to Meath a paramedic had to see him in an ambulance on the side of the stage. He still played the gig. Trooper!
// Who are your favourite Irish artists at the moment?
We’re listening to Little Green Cars, The Gloaming & Bascilville.
// Your EP True North is out now, is there an album in the works?
We have quietly been working away in the studio. Our sound has evolved slightly in the last 12 months. Looking forward to releasing as much new material as we can in the NEXT 12 months.
// The last text message you sent is your next album title. What is it?
‘’Can you get the 5:30pm ‘Wexford Bus’ to Dublin on Thursday evening? We’re playing the Workmans Club for Goldenbeck’’
Mick our lead singer contacting Matthew our banjo player.
// Send us a photo and explain…
We are involved in a music collective called ‘South Sea’ in Wexford.
We pick up 200 people in buses from Redmond Square in the middle of Wexford town and bring them to a private gig in a secret locations somewhere in County Wexford (mostly Barns, Crannogs, Monuments and abandoned buildings the RA used to burn down).
