The Jameson Bow St. Sessions takes place this coming Thursday at Dublin's Sugar Club, and over the last few weeks we've been bringing you Q&As with the acts that are on the line-up, BARQ and Booka Brass.

They'll be joined at the gig by soul singer Soulé, who will perform her own set as well as collaborating with the other two acts on the night for a special one-off performance, the full details of which won't be revealed until the night.

Before that, we had a chat with the UK-born, Dublin-raised artist to find out more about what makes her tick – and what to expect of her set on Thursday.
