Interview about 'Party in the Park'

Andrea and Jim

Question: What is the funniest thing that happened last year?
Andrea: Last year we flew in for Party In The Park and it was so tight the intro was playing while we were running on stage.
Jim: We flew in from Denmark and then we had to fly straight back to Sweden afterwards - it was crazy!

Question: What's it like playing to 100, 000 people?
Andrea: Looking at 100, 000 people for any band, no matter how mega, is pretty overwhelming. Also we've been spending the last year recording our album, so we haven't been gigging so much. Its pretty daunting anyway but 100, 000 - wow! It's a great buzz, pretty exhilarating!

Question: Do you think, as a band, you get on better or worse because you are siblings?
Andrea: We girls give Jim regular beatings!
Jim: That's why my head is the shape that it is. That's why I'm wearing sunglasses - it was sharon with a baseball bat! I refused to clean her shoes - I'm sick of cleaning her shoes! Actually I find it very hard to talk about - I have issues, I'm having therapy.
Andrea: There's a place for violence in a family band, it's the logical conclusion after a hard days work
Jim: I daren't argue with that.

Question: Your new album 'In Blue' is out soon - what can we expect?
Jim: It was written and recorded over one year. We're extremely happy with the way it's gone so we're really hoping that everybody loves it.
Andrea: The first single 'Breathless' is a high impact song and certainly leaves me breathless when I sing it. It's so hooky that it was an obvious choice for the first single but it doesn't reflect the whole album - there's quite a diverse selection of songs.

Question: Do you know what songs are you performing?
Andrea: I think we're doing three. I'm sure we'll do 'Breathless' and we'll probably do 'Radio' and the third one will be a surprise - to you and me! It becomes obvious which songs to choose because if you're going out to make a statement in three songs then you're not going to be go for a ballad.

Question: What is your biggest crowd-pleaser?
Andrea: 'Runaway' always gets a good response, which is good because it was the first one so its special. Also 'What Can I Do', 'So Young', 'Radio' really goes down well, it did at the Fleadh the other day.

Question: What do you like about being famous?
Jim: We don't see ourselves the way other people perceive us, that's for sure. In Ireland they're very easygoing and you can walk down the street and people might recognise you and say hello but they'll leave you alone. It's a cool country to live in as a 'celebrity'. We don't think of ourselves as celebrities. You have to keep grounded as there are lots of distractions and temptations in this business and it's not real at times. At the end of the day we're all the same.

Question: Do you know what are you going to wear on July 9th?
Jim: Not yet but for me it's always a toss up between a blue chiffon number or a pink chiffon number.
