February's Interview Pick: Need YOUR ???

Israfel	Date: January 18, 2007 @ 7:33 PM The Spotlight will be on fradonaghy in the month of February! A long time part of the DM community, he's a talented singer, songwriter, musician who always has good constructive comments for others. I'm sure that you have many questions you'd like to ask about his music. Please post them here and I will use as many as I can in the February Spotlight Interview! Check out his musis here! http://doubleblind.dmusic.com/music/
evansorchid	Date: January 19, 2007 @ 2:26 PM Fradonaghy....that sounds Irish. Is that where you're from? If so, who are some musical artists from Ireland who have influenced you? *see Mary, I can ask a real question*
GTOriginal	Date: January 19, 2007 @ 2:57 PM I only know of 2 Irish musical acts, Fra and U2. For my money I'll listen to Fra any time. We started this discussion on the side, but I found it very interesting even if I was clowning around like always. My question: Describe your recording setup in terms of equipment and your creative process as well.
ShadowMom	Date: January 19, 2007 @ 3:42 PM Wolfe Tones? Enya? James Galway? Sinead O'Connor? Van Morrison? Elvis Costello? The Corrs? And so many more... Good question! And no I won't mention Flogging Molly... Where did you get your first guitar... and what did you name it?
GTOriginal	Date: January 19, 2007 @ 6:00 PM OK, so I'm musically stunted because I was raised by wolves. Way to rub it in. Another question - How long have you been playing and what got you started?
leedsquietman	Date: January 19, 2007 @ 6:11 PM Their is quite a difference in the cultures of Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom, where Fra is from - I believe) and The Republic Of Ireland. The political struggles and accents/dialects are 2 things differentiating Eire and Northern Ireland (among many things). Most famous musical acts are from the Republic of Ireland (U2, The Cranberries, Thin Lizzy, Boyzone, Westlife, Clannad etc). My Bloody Valentine are from Northern Ireland and they rocked my world - also Therapy? Van Morrison, Scheer and Ash. My question is : If you could play at any venue in the world, where would you like to play most?
hate9wicket	Date: January 19, 2007 @ 7:05 PM I read this quote attributed to Chuck Close the other day and I don't know if it applies but I'll give it a whirl..."Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up." My question I guess is: Do you need to be inspired to get a song going or do you just show up?
FraDonaghy	Date: January 19, 2007 @ 7:27 PM wow.. I'm amazed this many people have replied Thanks for the interest guys
HenriRoger	Date: January 19, 2007 @ 7:29 PM Help us find questions for you
SimonWaldram	Date: January 19, 2007 @ 7:41 PM Fra, I really like your folk influnced guitar playing. What guitarists have influenced you to play the way you do?
KitRumble	Date: January 20, 2007 @ 6:05 PM Fra...Do you view the music scene in Ireland as supportive of Indie acts and does Ireland embrace all genres of music or is it heavily influenced by corporate controlled international music
Ghostie	Date: January 20, 2007 @ 8:18 PM Fra has a beautiful voice, so when did you start singing .. and were either of your parents musicians?
shutyatrap	Date: January 20, 2007 @ 8:44 PM Wow this is a cool pic for the interview thing. My question is also about your vocals. I find that voice of yours very versatile? I wonder how the hell you reach those high notes to make sound exactly like a girl. Do you wear extra tight pants when you record these vocals? Or is there something about you we do not know?
DaveWL	Date: January 21, 2007 @ 3:03 PM Fra, if you exclude the cover competitions your probably the most covered Dmusic artist (Belong – Valerie Diane, Broke – Priscila Mottola…..) What does that feel like?
vzeye	Date: January 27, 2007 @ 1:04 PM Fra, you have that "sweet" sound which drifts high in the direction of pop. You can do quite a bit with your music. Are you planning on making music a career or is a more stable occupation to be your practical choice? Either way, music is your gift and you can profit from it in so many ways!
