CPI Archive 2008: As they prepare to take on America this autumn, Andrew Hamilton has a little Q&A with Liscannor-based band Seneca.
Seneca: statesman, stoic and advisor to Nero. As unlikely as it may seem, there would appear to be some genuine parallels between the Roman philosopher who lived in the time of Christ and the local band that shares his name. Like the philosopher, this Clare, Limerick and Mayo hybrid have had to graft hard to find their place in the sun. Both also possess a fine command of language, an ear for the philosophical and both left their place of birth in search of success and fame.
AH: So tell us, how did Seneca come into the world?
Rob: Well we have been going together for about three years now. Brendan is from Scariff and Daragh is from Sixmilebridge and we all came together down in Limerick. I’m from Mayo myself and myself, Daragh and Yvonne, the base player, had been in a band before who broke up.
