The singer reminisces about his earliest memory, sitting on the kitchen worktop and belting out an Elvis classic at the tender age of two. He credits his granddad for instilling a love for old songs, with “Are You Lonesome Tonight” being his debut performance. When asked about his happiest moments, he fondly recalls attending the Fleadh Cheoil with his family every summer, where music enveloped them in joy. Winning the competition at 15 for singing and achieving third place at 11 for playing the accordion solidified these memories as cherished highlights.
Fear, however, does rear its ugly head for the singer. Rats and spiders send shivers down his spine, provoking an intense detestation within him. Reflecting on his personal traits, he proudly embraces his friendly nature, making it a point to connect with anyone who greets him. On the other hand, he admits to being plagued by impatience, earning himself the nickname “Impatient Carter” from his friends. Rudeness also rankles him, especially when directed towards hardworking staff members.
In a hypothetical scenario where he becomes Taoiseach, his first mission would be to tackle the issue of costly housing. For a pint and a good laugh, the singer would eagerly choose to accompany Peter Kay, an immensely talented comedian whom he greatly admires. As for his most treasured possession, it’s his first accordion, which, although no longer functional, holds sentimental value and resides safely at his parents’ house.
Indulging in guilty pleasures is a human trait, and the singer confesses to being powerless against the allure of chocolate. Nights spent on the couch, devouring sweets while watching mindless TV, serve as an escape from reality. The best advice he ever received revolves around the brevity of life, urging him to seize every moment with gusto. While not overly religious, he believes in the existence of an afterlife.
In terms of vocabulary, the singer unintentionally finds himself often uttering the word “yes” excessively, particularly in work-related scenarios. His recent TV binge-watching session featured “The Grand Tour” with Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond. If he could offer counsel to his 18-year-old self, it would be to prioritize hard work while not succumbing to undue stress about the future.
If he hadn’t pursued a career in music, his passion for cars and property would have led him towards an architectural or property-based endeavor. And if granted a superpower, he yearns for the ability to be invisible for a day. Amongst all the songs in the world, “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton stands out as one he wishes he had written, captivated by its lyrical beauty and heartfelt emotions. Delving into a personal secret, he admits to being an abysmal cook, even managing to burn toast when making simple beans on toast.
From history or the entertainment industry, the singer longs to have met the iconic Elvis Presley. Overwhelmed by the harsh treatment Elvis received from his manager, Colonel Parker, he would have advised caution and to be wary of trust. When it comes to his own funeral, he wishes for “My Way” by Frank Sinatra to be played, a song that resonates deeply with him.
