Robert told Sarina that he has loads of songs written, so we ve plenty to look forward to.
He also revealed he s hoping to release an album early next year. We re hoping the world will be somewhat back to normal at that stage.
The Irish artist shot to fame in lockdown, so he s excited to hopefully experience some of that success out in the real world soon.
He said the one thing he really enjoys is, going into radio stations.
When a film producer contacted a Wexford company enquiring about hiring quads, it resulted in a local woman and her teenage cousin taking the lead roles in a short movie which is to be shown as part of Dublin International Film Festival opening this week.
Twenty-five-year-old Kate Cullen and her 17-year-old cousin Guevara Hughes play two sisters in 4x4 , a film written and directed by Ayla Amano and produced by Aishling Malone.
In 1998, Kate s farm-based family started the business that is now Quadventure and Guevara is her younger cousin who lives nearby in Killegney, Clonroche.
Looking for land and quads to use for the film, the producer did a Google search and found Quadventure before getting in contact with the Cullens.
