There was no one in particular I really tried to copy.

I listened to a lot of bands that were happening at the time, but no one in particular.

Well I had a musical background, but I still didn't know a lot about drums at the time.

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.

I remember my first show was a live TV show in Ireland, and I was just petrified. It was horrific.

I mean, y'know, platinum is different in every country, which can be confusing.
