Name: Rosie Smyth

Member since: 2012 ish
How did you first get into music and learning to play?
My mum plays various instruments and my dad loves to sing. There were always instruments in the house growing up and we all tinkered away at them. I started violin tuition in school at 7 years old and haven't looked back.
Tell us a crazy/funny gig story?
I was playing a gig in Fibber Magees years ago with an old bad called Inchequin. There was always a random crowd in, a great bar for people watching lol. Anyway, we were on our half time break and the bouncers were kicking out some drunk lad. His missus came running behind them, grabbed my mic stand, leads an all, and tried to batter the bouncers with it, thankfully I'd just taken my fiddle off the stand before she lifted it 🤣...
There's also the time Jonny got boked on at The Points...I'll never forget that image haha.
Who is your favourite band/artist/musician?
Far too many to choose from 🙈, I'm a very varied listener... Coldplay, Paul Simon, Tommy Fleming, Dougie McClean, Chris Stapleton, Dermot Kennedy, Foy Vance, Paul Brady, The Fureys, José Gonzalez. Its impossible to list one.
Favourite venue to perform in?
The Points with the crowd in full swing
