I'll be waiting, you know I'll be waiting
Jim Lockhart talks about the experience of recording a studio album, which is an enjoyable experience, but hard work.
What of their influences? That's a hard one to pin down, says Lockhart, as they're influenced by many musical genres, from classical to R&B. Right now they're also listening to a lot of music coming out of the USA,
Tá muid ag éisteacht le bannaí cosúil le Foreigner agus Boston agus daoine mar sin. Fuaim mór agus ramhar, agus sin an áit ina bhfuilimid ag dul.
