When you look at bands like Take That, who have come back bigger than ever, you can see there will always be a market for good pop bands.

My mum and dad ran a family cafe in Sligo for 35 years and worked long hours. We grew up in a very hard-working family and had a lovely atmosphere, as we lived above the restaurant. It definitely made me want to work hard, whatever I chose to do. As the baby of seven kids, I was definitely a bit spoilt.

I have three children to take care; I have a wife. My job is to take care of them, and I can say it's a pretty cool job to have.

For me, it's never been about being famous. I just want to be a successful singer. I wanna work hard If I'm in the papers, grace, but I want to be there for the right reasons - for my music.

My kids are Irish; I want them to grow up playing Gaelic football and learning Irish.

You've got to go down the road you naturally go down, and for me it was pop, folk country, just feel-good music. I suppose most of my songs are very up-tempo.

I don't think about success to be famous, because I've done that at the highest level, but it's all about my children.
