Dublin

Apologies for the lateness of the blog, however in every venue there has been internet difficulties however today its all shiny and working!

Dublin was so much fun, even though most of the band and crew were suffering with colds (which have no passed onto me, everyone is avoiding breathing in Kate's direction to keep her voice safe!) everyone still had an amazing time.

The gig was soo much fun, we had a lot of family there alongside all of Sister Lovers gang, as this was their hometown gig. Everyone got down early which is the advice on this tour as there are TWO support acts! Remember that for the next couple of gigs.

We had a day off after the gig, so we all partied it up in Whelan's on the Sunday night with friends of Ryan's. After about 3am I could feel my cold coming on so I had to retire to my bed, however everyone else partied up til the early hours of the morning in Kate and Ryan's hotel room.






On our day off, Kate had to get up early and do a day of radio interviews and promo so once she got back she practically dropped into bed, so there wasn't much wondering around Dublin as we would have liked!

Belfast

We woke up in the car park of the student bar right beside all the dustbins. I had to hurry as Kate had a radio interview and everyone forgot to wake me up. Once I got into the venue I decided to avoid showering as the bins probably could have cleaned me up just the same. Baby wipes do a good enough job sometimes; plus I knew we would have a hotel tonight so I thought I could live a day without a wash. Touring is quite similar to being at a festival; that same dirty feeling.

Our Mama is Irish so we have always holidayed in Ireland and we did Irish dancing and joined an endless amount of Irish music groups when we were in school; and Kate ended up played Maggie In The Woods on tin whistle in the radio interview and her new single ‘Later On’.

Our older sister, Clare, joined us in Belfast later on in the evening, she was ridiculously hung over and her flight got delayed by a few hours. The rest of the day was spent moping around the dressing rooms, and occasionally wondering into the town and looking at the architecture/shopping.

The show went really well and the crowd were so enthusiastic; and we met two really nice girls after the show and they were the cutest fans!
