Public Address: IT’S ALL HAPPENING!

“I basically found myself in a video one day and there were all these people around me talking a strange language, so I basically decided to do something about it. I went to a place called the Actors Centre, read a lot of books and talked to a lot of people. When you're making a record you get all these ideas fortunes and sounds in your head and it's much less frustrating once you learn the technicalities behind them when doing the video. The recording side wasn't too bad because I'd done four albums with The Undertones, and you have to learn something even if you're not paying attention all the time. I went in and explained to people how to achieve the ideas I have in my head." Feargal Sharkey Former lead singer The Undertones, now environmentalist.
