Hide AdSheehy continues, “I gave Sorcha a call, I knew she played the piano, and we just started writing together, and pretty soon we both thought, ‘We need to get some more heads in on this.’
“At the time, I was playing acoustic guitar, then Paul came in, and he was playing acoustic guitar. As was Sorcha’s brother.
“Eventually, we realised we had a problem.”
Devane takes over, “I was in Australia, working in Sydney, and they put something up on Facebook about trying to find a guitarist.
“At the time, I was thinking, ‘What do I want to do with my life?’.
