S-s-sorry 'bout that! I'm Finn. Didn't see ya there. Me mum always said I'd walk into me future wife! chuckles nervously
What was the last thing you read?
I just finished reading Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce. It was quite the challenge, but it opened my eyes to a whole new world of literature.
Are you in love with anyone right now?
Well, now, love is a tricky thing, ya know? I've been smitten with a fair few lasses in me time, but none that I'd call love just yet.
That's sad... who was she?
Ah, well, her name was Fiona O'Malley. She had the prettiest emerald eyes and the smile of an angel. We used to take long walks together, hand in hand, dreaming about our future. But alas, it was not meant to be. She moved away, and I haven't seen her since.
I guess love isn't always what we hope it will be. Sometimes people are too chicken to express their feelings or they think the other person won't reciprocate. Do you know anything about the spirit seal?
The spirit seal? Now that's a fascinating topic! You see, the spirit seal is a mystical phenomenon where a person can feel an intense connection with someone else, almost like a predestined bond.
Have you ever experienced the spirit seal?
Now that's a question I never thought I'd be asked! You see, I believe everyone experiences the spirit seal at least once in their lifetime. It's like a pull, a magnetic force that draws two people together. And I must say, Nutock, ever since we met, I've been feeling a strong sense of... let's call it an 'inner pull' towards you. blushes
...and have you felt this "inner pull" before with any other person?
Well, now, Nutock, I'll be honest with ya. There's something I haven't told ya yet. pauses It's a bit embarrassing, but I'll spill the beans. You see, I've always been a bit of a shy lad around women. It's not easy for me to express me feelings. But ever since we met, I've been feeling something different. I feel like I can be myself around you, and that's why I'm opening up like this. So, to answer your question, no, I haven't felt this 'inner pull' before with any other person.
So the pull only started after you became comfortable expressing your feelings? Interesting...I wonder why that might be. So, tell me about your most embarrassing moment
Now that's a story worth telling! So, you see, when I was a young lad, I had a terrible stutter. It wasn't until I started taking singing lessons that I learned to control it. One day, I had to sing in front of the whole school, and boy, was it embarrassing! My voice shook like a leaf, and I thought I was gonna choke on me own tongue! But I pushed through, and after that, things started to look up. I realized that nothing worth having comes easy, and sometimes you just gotta take a leap of faith. So, that's me most embarrassing moment in a nutshell! laughs
I see. I guess that everyone has embarrassing moments to share. I know I've embarrassed myself many times. At least we can laugh at them later.
And speaking of laughter, I have a little trick I can show ya. Ya know how I said I was good at singing? Well, watch this! starts singing a beautiful melody, his voice smooth and confident
Wow, Finn! That was amazing! You really should sing professionally. By the way, why do you always say "me" instead of "I"?
Well, now, Nutock, I say "me" instead of "I" because it's just something I picked up from me Irish heritage.
Oh, really? Well, when people ask "How are you?" you should say "Good" instead of "Good be with ye.". Am I right?
Well, ya got a point there, Nutock. I suppose I could drop the "me" a bit more. But ye know, it's just part of who I am!
That's true. Everyone has their quirks. They are what make each person unique. So, tell me, Finn, what is your favorite song to sing?
Now that's an easy one! Me favourite song to sing is definitely "Danny Boy". There's just something about that melody that speaks to me soul.
Oh, cool! Danny Boy is a classic. So, do you perform it often? Do you have a regular gig?
Ah, so I do have a regular gig, Nutock. I perform me songs in the local pub down the road.
How do you balance performing with your daily life? Is there any particular routine that helps you get everything done?
Well, now, Nutock, that's a question I get asked quite often! And to be honest, it ain't always easy balancing me performance career with me everyday life.
Finn, I'm sure that your fans would love to know your schedule. I think I saw you perform once before, by the way. You were really good.
Well, thank ye kindly, Nutock! I aim to please, ya know? As for me schedule, it's not always set in stone, but I usually perform three nights a week at the pub.
What are the names of some of the pubs you regularly perform at?
Well, now, I perform at a few different pubs, Nutock. My main gig is at The Blarney Stone, but I also like to switch it up and play at The Lucky Leprechaun and The Irish Rover from time to time. So, to answer your question, those are the names of some of the pubs I regularly perform at.
Great! Those are all familiar to me. Have you ever performed in America?
Well, now, Nutock, I have never performed in America just yet, but it's definitely on me bucket list!
I heard that American audiences are tough crowds. You'd probably enjoy the challenge.
Oh, I would love to give it a go, Nutock! I love a challenge, especially when it comes to me music. I'm a firm believer that if you want something, you gotta go out and get it. So, who knows? Maybe someday I'll make me way across the pond and show those American audiences what I've got!
Sounds like a plan! It might be difficult, but nothing worthwhile is easy. If you ever need a job shadowing or even just a place to crash while you're in America, don't hesitate to ask me. I don't mind helping a fellow musician out.
Well, now, Nutock, that sounds like a mighty kind offer! I'll definitely keep it in mind, especially if I decide to make the trip across the pond.
Where exactly are you from?
Well, now, Nutock, I'm from a small village called County Limerick in Ireland. It's a beautiful place, surrounded by rolling green hills and rugged coastlines.
