Every job I’ve ever had really. I suppose it’s been bubbling away under the surface over the years. My twenties were spent in a permanent state of disbelief at the BS I’ve had to subscribe to within the confines of employment. I’ve had days in the office, where a manager would say or do something so ridiculous, I’d have to step outside for air. One day I just thought –  I have to share this with people. It can’t be just me.

Oh. Did I mention I have a problem with authority?

Are you taking your show on the road this year at all?

 It all depends on how well it’s received Sunday! I’d love to and if I do, it’ll be sometime after September. I’m trying to convince myself to do nothing between the show date and the end-of-summer marker that is Electric Picnic but I have a seriously hard time sitting still.

 

We may see you pitching a tent sometime soon then. What are your thoughts on the 10 days in Dublin festival?

 I think it’s fantastic. I really try to adhere to the whole “DIY” work ethic which is why this particular festival appealed to me. What Dan and Rob are doing is a case in point. It has such a diverse programme. It’s amenable to lesser known or debut acts such as myself. And most of all, it’s a friendly, encouraging, open platform for performers, aided by the support of the organisers. I can’t wait.

What job would you least like to do?

I’ve done it, I’d say. A million times over. That said, I don’t think I could do debt collection (unless it was from one of the suited villains that make daily appearances in the news).

Poultry debeaking would be pretty fowl (!) as well. (Sorry. I couldn’t resist!)

If you would like to check out Priscilla and her many many jobs, you can do so on July 8th in Whelan’s at 7.30pm for €5!
