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.

I do like to look at female drummers, because I am one.

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

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

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

We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.

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