Speaking to Hot Press at the launch of the Guinness funded Arts scheme, lead guitarist Mark Sheehan expressed his view that young people can come up with innovative ways to deliver music.

"You have streaming services right now which are definitely leading the way over downloads," said Sheehan. "There's probably some kids in this country who have an answer to 'what's the best way to deliver music to people?'.

"They probably have the simplest solutions in the world. So, I'm hoping we'll discover some really cool solution for how to deliver music."

Frontman Danny O'Donoghue also reflected that the music category is not exclusive to musicians.

"Everyone will look at our involvement and their minds will gravitate to sending songs. But we don't want to exclude people out there who have really good ideas."
