Interview with Irish bassist Tanya O'Callaghan

[@gizmaticopappy1524]

Gorgeous, extremely talented musician. I too love to hear her Irish accent. Great interview

[@ForBassPlayersOnly]

Glad you liked the interview, Gizmatic O’Pappy. We love that Irish accent too! Thanks for commenting.

[@alexeijolkin7851]

Every second Irish is musician, troubadour, singer, composer or poet... and the rest of them are dancers. Such a great musical nation!

[@ForBassPlayersOnly]

Yes, Ireland has quite a rich musical heritage, for sure. Thanks for he comment, Alexei!

[@wolfgang548]

Hard to believe it’s been a year already. Belated thanks, Wolfgang548!

Lived in Cork and Dun Dealgan while back. Irish ladies say what they mean, and mean what they say. Tanya, what a lady. This is one person that will easily survive the rock industry.

[@ForBassPlayersOnly]

Not only is she surviving, she’s thriving! Thanks, S.P!

[@breakingthe4thwall260]

Very cute girl but she needs to get the jewelry out of her face an the dreads out of her hair. Jewelry is an adornment it's not meant to be imbeded in your skin. you don't have ethnic hair so you have no legitimate need for dread locks.

[@schattenheim]

Come on - she has her style and it fits her... and there are no rules in using jewelry and hair extensions - enjoy her vibes and stay cool and open :-)

[@rocktopuss9279]
