You’re currently on tour for your latest album Young Love, tell me about that. We are touring our album, but our next album will be out later this year or the start of next year. We’re writing all the songs for our next album, it’s cool, we think people will like it because we’ve written all the songs ourselves, and all the songs have really big meanings behind them. Are you looking forward to playing in Wales? Yeah we’re playing in Cardiff on Mon 30 Sept. We played in the CIA before, but it’ll be really cool to come back when we haven’t been there in two years. What’s next for you guys? Every year we do a pantomime in Dublin ? it’s a really successful show that sells out and its only 37 shows. There are people screaming, loads of energy. There’s ten songs and a whole script, it’s good fun. It’s a Christmas pantomime, there’s nothing really to do in Ireland at Christmas so it’s either sit around eating food or do a pantomime. Me and Edward also did Eurovision and stuff like that, we’ve done most of the charity stuff already, so maybe half way in to next year there’ll be more. We’re doing our new album, and we’re just going to be setting up solid foundations for all the exciting stuff we’re going to be doing. We have concerts in Ireland, playing acoustic sets and acoustic songs and all the fans really like that, we’ve done loads of cover songs on the internet. We’ll be on stage for two hours. It’s going to be awesome. Are you guys going back to Eurovision? I don’t know. I want Bono to go; I want U2 to be there. He has to go to Eurovision. Anything you want to tell Wales? We’re ready to rock Cardiff; it’s going to be awesome.
“We’re ready to rock Cardiff; it’s going to be awesome.”
