Well I had a musical background, but I still didn't know a lot about drums at the time.
We've worked very hard as a band and would like to think we've got this far on the strength of our music.
I've always stayed pretty fit. I felt I needed to give myself energy by exercising and things like that.
We go in and I do my thing, and then we supplement it with whatever we want.
Waking up with a bad head in the morning is difficult sometimes.
There's actually 14 in our family, but we disowned the others.
Sharon went on to play classical but we actually went into totally different instruments which was lucky for the band because otherwise we'd all be playing the same thing!!
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.
Our parents were musicians.
We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.
