Creating beautiful music and melodies doesn’t always come easy, but for some, it’s engraved in their DNA. This is exactly the case for Roisin O, and something she feels she was always meant to do. As a child, she’d regularly be found sitting by the piano, lost in her own world creating music – and now, little Rosin would be thrilled to see how far she’s come. Growing up, music was all around her – “but not in a weird way”, she laughs.
Those two years of various lockdowns were tough for everyone for various reasons. Your industry was really impacted….how did you find that time and are you glad that you can get back out on the road and continue to do what you love again? I’m buzzing! I can’t catch a breath, I’m on full work mode. I love it but it’s really intense at the moment. I’m not for one second going to complain about being busy though after being so bored for so long. I’d been so worried about having no work and now my calendar is crazy full but it’s great.You’ve had a couple of gigs already.
I love them, they’re one of my favourite bands. I’m so biased, but I love their music and their songs. When they asked me to play keys, I immediately said yes – sure I knew the set already! Being on tour with them is the best craic. It doesn’t feel like work at all, it’s so much fun. Getting to play for their audiences will be amazing.
