Interview TV HITS/CD:UK May 2004
Those Irish lasses Bellefire are back as a trio! We spoke to the lovely Ciara...
One minute you were there, the next you'd disapeared! What happened?
Our record company fell apart! So we set up a studio in our house and got some demos ready. Then we started doing showcases for other companies and got signed again!
Bet your manager Louis Walsh was happy about that!
Yeah. He's been amazing. He is more excited than ever and he really believea in us.
Weren't there four of you?
Yeah, there was Tara too! Music wasn't what she'd expected to be - it's not as glamerous as you think! So she went back to college to study fashion. We're still great mates, though - she lives in Dublin too, so we all meet up for drinks.
Are you excited about touring with Westlife?
It's going to be brilliant! We'll be supporting them on the UK and Ireland dates, then we're going to South-east Asia with them. There's also an American label that's dying to have us over there at the end of the summer, so that would be amazing. It's every band's dream to conquer America!
Were you sad to hear about the Westlife split?
We were very shocked. Nobody expected it. But Bryan is thinking of his family, you knoew. His kids are growing up and he probably doesn't want to miss anything.
Do you think they can make it as a foursome?
Oh, absolutely! Those four guys are very talented. I saw them on a TV show in Ireland recently and it was the best performance they've done in ages. I think there's a new energy there. There's no stopping those guys!
