Troubadour Tadhg Daly has just released his new single, Forever Young. We ask him the BIG questions...
Tell us three things about yourself?
I hate rainy/grey weather. I know, most people aren't that keen on it, but I mean like it ruins my life on a daily basis during the winter and I'll just sit and google other places to live in the world, knowing I obviously can't just go and move to any of them. That was a bit of a depressing start - but true.
I grew up on a tiiiiny island next to France called Jersey. I'm never sure whether people will have heard of it or not. Some people are like, "Of course I know Jersey" and others are like "Oh cool, you're American"...
I'm embarrassingly and hopelessly scared of spiders. Saw one in my room recently and my sister was away so I just moved into her room for two weeks.
How would you describe your music?
Nostalgia-drenched alternative-pop
Who are your musical inspirations?
Paul Simon, Nirvana, Ben Howard, The Used, Sun Kill Moon, Jeff Buckley, to name a few!
How did you occupy yourself during the coronavirus lockdown?
I was so lucky, honestly - we moved our studio back to my producer's house and I just made music the entire time and crashed on his couch for months! It was obviously a really crazy time so it was nice to have music to dive into. I feel like I really found my voice and what I wanted to do musically in that time.
What's your favourite song right now?
More Like You - Orla Gartland
Favourite lyric of all time?
"On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
To have no regrets and be done with my life"
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. - Noah and the Whale
