Cusacks Well


Your name: 
Glenn Sharkey.

Where are you from? 
County Armagh, Northern Ireland.

Name of band: 
Cusacks Well

Who else is in your band?
Ciaran McAloran (Lead Guitar), Sami Dabbous (Bass) Myself (Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), we use drummers on a session basis

How would you describe yourselves? 
Post-BritPop/Alternative/Indie

Who are your main influences musically?: 
Coldplay, The Who, Oasis, majorly influence from Noel Gallagher! U2.

What do you hope to achieve in music? 
As Noel Gallagher says: "If you don’t want to be the biggest band in the world, you may as well pack it in." True quote in all of our eyes, without being big headed or cocky, we want to be the biggest, and the best. We know it’s a tough road ahead, but we believe in ourselves, we believe in our music and we believe our fans can get us there.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why? 
Having such a huge response overseas, internationally we're bigger than locally. For instance in London, USA, France and Germany we find this is where we get most of our sales, and in a bigger demand for live shows. It's a highlight even having that at all!

And what’s the moment you want to forget? 
We played a gig in a Northern Irish city called Newry, supporting a 'popular' folk fusion band from England. Their sound was massive and crazy so we thought we'd be performing in front of a huge-ish crowd. Turns out we performed in front of 10 people, 7 band members, 2 'fans' and the sound guy!

If you could choose one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be and why? 
Probably 'Neon Lights' it's our most upbeat, rock n' rollin' 60s tune, perhaps an advert for a 60s style American diner! It could work! 

Where can we listen to it?
