So it’s, yeah, it’s a lot to get through. I think there’s something like 30,000 songs on the daily with Spotify. With the advent of streaming services and the decentralisation of tastemakers, do you think that it would be easier or more difficult to break through if you were an emerging band in 2019?

I guess it’s kinda like Spotify really (laughs) but with people as well. A lot of radio actually now because I’ve moved back to Belfast from London last year, and I drive a car now and yeah, radio is something I’ve discovered again, which has been fun. (laughs) Yeah, mostly Spotify to be honest now.
