<\/p>\nThe young Dublin singer-songwriter recently released her single ‘For You (Home)’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hearing about a band or artist’s influences and inspirations are all well and good, but sometimes, you just want to get to the nitty-gritty in an interview – like, ‘what’s your favourite takeaway dish’?
\nOur new Q&A series sees us throwing rapidfire questions at musicians to get their most instinctive answers. There’s no beating around the bush here – just honest, straightforward insights into their creative minds.<\/p>\n
Dublin singer-songwriter Laura Elizabeth Hughes made quite an impression with her recent single ‘For You (Home)’, the proceeds of which were donated to Pieta House’s ‘Darkness Into Light’ campaign.<\/p>\n
The young musician has been touted as ‘one to watch’ by various tastemakers and has already shared a stage with Dermot Kennedy, James Bay and Billie Marten.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Oh man, my taste in music has gone through so much since I was little. But serious staples have been Laura Marling, Frightened Rabbit, Manchester Orchestra, and the folk staples of Joni and Tom Waits. All of whom get daily playlisting.<\/p>\n
\nLeave me alone.. Is that bad?! Haha, really though, I tend to need to zone in on myself and to a state of calm for my nerves before I head on stage!<\/p>\n
\nThat depends on the gig! If it\u2019s a collective night, I\u2019ll chill and watch the other acts with some friends. If it\u2019s a solo gig or a support slot I\u2019m usually home pretty early and chilling with a cup of tea on my own for a while!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nOf recent times, Billie Eilish – When The Party\u2019s Over, the whole thing.. Writing and production.. I\u2019m gonna cheat and throw Poke by Frightened Rabbit in there too.<\/p>\n
\nFor today.. I\u2019m writing these answers on a Monday, procrastinating college work, so for that vibe RY X – ‘Unfurl<\/em>‘, Barrie – ‘Happy To Be Here’<\/em>, and Matt Corby\u2019s\u00a0‘Rainbow Valley’.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThe best breakup album: ‘Midnight Organ Fight’<\/em>\u00a0– Frightened Rabbit
\nBook:\u00a0‘Never Let Me Go<\/em>‘ – Kazuo Ishiguro
\nFilm: ‘Pan\u2019s Labyrinth’<\/em><\/p>\n
\nTaika Waititi to direct and bring out the quirks and humour that most people don\u2019t get to see in me, and I\u2019d be played by…either Anne Hathaway or Katherine Langford!<\/p>\n
\nSingapore noodles\u2026 the craving is real right now.<\/p>\n
\nIt would be spent down at my mobile home by the sea.. Getting up with nothing to do and nowhere to be, floating between the beach, my book, and my sketch journal and just doodling writings and drawings.. This perfect day off also has the sun.<\/p>\n
\nBecause I promise it\u2019ll be lovely and we\u2019ll all need some music and human connection when this pandemic is over!<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I\u2019ve been listening to David McWilliams’ podcast (out every Tuesday) for the last while. Explaining the human side of what\u2019s gonna happen to the economy during and after this whole weird crisis in the most conversational, accessible way\u2026 I highly recommend it!<\/p>\n
