Dublin indie rock artist KONNO has released his debut single, Meet Me Later. We asked him the BIG questions . . .
The track was recorded in the unique setting of an old turf shed and the station house at Ballyglunin train station in Galway.
KONNO's past work includes collaborations with acts such as RACHEL and he has also played support to The Saw Doctors alongside Darragh O'Dea and The Delicate Dogs at various venues across the UK and Ireland.
He has a five-track debut EP slated for release in 2025.
Tell us three things about yourself . . .
I record, produce and mix my own songs in a converted turf shed. I love cooking. Although, some people might find cooking stressful, I find it strangely therapeutic. I have the cutest dog, her named is Sky.
