IN 4 WORDS, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC?

"Soothing, ethereal, ambient, peaceful."

HAVE YOU BEEN TO KNOCKANSTOCKAN BEFORE? IF SO, WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE MEMORY?

"Yea,h I was there however many years ago doing the fire at all hours which was mad craic altogether. Being in Nikki's tipi around the fire all cosy on the sheep-skins playing music and having hot drinks, good times!"

OTHER THAN ON STAGE, WHERE ARE WE MOST LIKELY TO FIND YOU AT A FESTIVAL?

"Awhh man all over the place for some serious craic! Will be nice to see Cula Bula and Lonesome George again (wuheeeeeyy taps aff hai! )
Looking forward to finally see those elusive feckers Overhead, The Albatross play a killer set too, missed all but their last song in Galway which blew my mind and left me gutted that I missed the rest, so determined to catch the whole thing this time!"

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM A LIVE SHOW?

"A chance to relax and be immersed by the ethereal sounds of the Hang and the Peruvian flute with trance-like percussion, errrhhhh or something like that. Haha come check it out."

DESCRIBE YOUR BEST FESTIVAL DANCE MOVE?

"Hoho, the silly-cyben dance you either know it or you don't!"

YOU'RE MAKING A PARTY PLAYLIST. WHAT SONG IS FIRST ON THE LIST?

"Hmmmm Kenny Knots -Give I Power!"

WHAT ARE YOUR MUSICAL PLANS FOR 2016?

"Good question, keep playing, be inspired, expand my musical horizons, enjoy the summer. Do more recording at some stage!"

FESTIVAL PACKING - NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT. BUT WHAT’S YOUR 1 LUXURY? 

"Hmmmm to be honest I'm used to traveling light without luxuries, so my number one luxury would be to have a fire at an Irish festival if I could! Cooking, hot water for tea, chatting around the fire. Baby wipes are well handy, I never think to bring them though and it's always nice to brush the teeth!"

Medicine Tones plays the Wishbone stage at 1:30pm on Saturday  at this year's Knockanstockan.
