If you rolled Electric Picnic, Longitude and All Together Now together you still wouldn’t have Ireland’s biggest music festival. That honour goes to Fleadh Cheoil.

Over 400,000 people make their way to the festival every year for the festival.

Throwback to an amazing trip to LA a few years back... we were so lucky to have my bro @orange_owl act as our photographer/ tour manager. Check out his insta if you haven’t. He stuff is unreal and he’s also one of the best people I know.

Roisin told Sarina on Saturday’s Plan B that she is really looking forward to being the one asking the questions rather than answering them and just getting to enjoy some great music.

Thanks Brother

Roisin also shared that while she loved being a solo singer, she is really enjoying being a part of Thanks Brother, with John Broe.

Their latest single, FML has caused some controversy with some people calling Joe Duffy’s Liveline to complain about the video which features a singing priest (and an all star choir including Gavin James and Danny O’Reilly) in a church.
