Your Hero of 2021?

Brendan Walsh - my farmer neighbour and good friend from Dingle. He also works for the ESB and brought me food and turf for the fire in the midst of Storm Barra when I was isolating with Covid and he was out in the storm bringing back electricity to the people of the Gaeltacht... he's single ladies.

Villain of 2021?

I know he hasn't been around much but no one really comes close to usurping Donald Trump this year.

Best Personal Moment?

Releasing 'Heart + Bones', my first solo single in several years, and getting such an unbelievable reaction from people...

Maid on Netflix, great for a good ole cry.

Best record?

Orla Gartland's Woman on The Internet is just epic.

Yearbook by Seth Rogan.
