• Q What album would you bring to a desert island with you?
• A OK Computer by Radiohead. It was actually the first album I ever bought and I'm still amazed by how good it sounds.
Q The first concert you ever went to?
A The Verve in the Point in 1998. I went with my brother and my parents. I seem to remember it was a gift for my Confirmation. It wasn't great.
Q Single most embarrassing album you ever bought?
A I'm pretty sure I bought something by Eternal back when I was going through one of my awkward puberty moments. It's long since been rehoused elsewhere.
Q If you could rob the vocal chords of any singer, who would it be?
A Luciano Pavarotti, you know, if he wasn't dead
Q What song is your specialty at karaoke?
A I do a good René Dif from Aqua, so it's gotta be Barbie Girl.
Q If you could erase one band from existence, who would it be?
A Mumford & Sons. I can't even describe just how much I abhor every fibre of their being.
Q Out of all the venues in Ireland, where’s your favourite?
A After the closure of The Ambassador as a venue (so many great memories there), it's gotta be Vicar Street. Good size, good sound and some of the best acts going.
Q Tell us something about you that people don't know.
A I only got a D in my Leaving Cert English.
