0:00:27 > 0:00:29APPLAUSE
0:09:42 > 0:09:45We provide a wide range of treatments and therapies here.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47We provide aromatherapy, reflexology,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51which is really good for people with MS. It helps them to de-stress.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53We also provide physiotherapy,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56which is an excellent service for people with MS.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58It helps them maintain their muscle tone
0:09:58 > 0:10:01and keep them in their optimum health.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04And it also helps them maintain their daily lifestyles
0:10:04 > 0:10:06by attending physiotherapy.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08People meet other people with the condition
0:10:08 > 0:10:11and they can discuss their different symptoms
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and find that they're not alone in their MS journey.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16That other people have a similar journey to them
0:10:16 > 0:10:19and it gives them great comfort knowing that.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Northern Ireland has the highest MS in the world, per capita of people.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It's a remarkable statistic?
0:10:25 > 0:10:29A remarkable statistic, for our small country.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32There's over 4,000 people who have MS.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48At the moment,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51people are waiting a lot longer than the 18 weeks for a new appointment,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53and people are waiting longer
0:10:53 > 0:10:55for the review appointment with their consultant neurologist.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58What type of detrimental effect can such a long wait have
0:10:58 > 0:11:00on patients who are living with MS?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03The detrimental impact can be that it can affect their mental health.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07They become... Very high anxiety levels, they might become depressed.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10That's what people tell us they're experiencing during waiting times.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11There will also be uncertainty,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13and they might be experiencing new symptoms
0:11:13 > 0:11:16and they're maybe not receiving any treatment for that,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19so they might be experiencing pain or other related symptoms as well.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22So it would be a very uncomfortable time for people.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- You're very welcome.- Thank you very much.- You're flying solo tonight?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16I am, yeah.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- Have to slog it out here in the studio.- I'm sure you'll manage.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23And you went over to South By South West,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26to Austin, Texas, recently, as well.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29How was that for you, and for an up-and-coming group?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Is it really important to have presence at such festivals?
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Yeah, I think so.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Usually traditionally you'd go out there and do seven or eight,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39as many as possible, but because it was such a good offer,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41just to go and do it, we couldn't turn it down.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Hopefully next year we'll get to go out.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I've got an idea of the place now.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Not only gigging,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48a lot of networking happens at those festivals
0:15:48 > 0:15:51and you have to take those opportunities as they come.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Yeah, of course.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I did as much as I could and my manager was out there as well,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58so he was working away while I was having a beer in the corner,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- just making sure.- Poor old manager!
0:16:02 > 0:16:04You have a great online presence as a band.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Sister Snow, from an EP released in 2014,
0:16:06 > 0:16:10has 1.5 million hits on Spotify.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14How does that translate into the everyday life of a working band?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Yeah, well, we're still working! It doesn't provide us with that.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21But what it does is it gives us some exposure
0:16:21 > 0:16:24that we would never have had before.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26People would ask me a lot about Spotify,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28but I have only positive things to say about it,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31because when you're seeing people in Tunisia and the States
0:16:31 > 0:16:34and all across the world listening to music that they would
0:16:34 > 0:16:37never have been able to access otherwise, so completely positive.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39With your release of your new EP, Luna,
0:16:39 > 0:16:44you uploaded it to the BBC Uploader and that had great results for you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Yeah, Annie Mac played it a couple of times on her show.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49That's on BBC Radio 1.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52So that's kind of, for a band in our position, that's the goal.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55So we're delighted that she's played it
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and hopefully it will give it a bit more exposure.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59So you're gradually building,
0:16:59 > 0:17:02gradually gathering a lot of moss as a band.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06So does that mean, is there a move imminent from Armagh to London,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09to Dublin, or does world domination,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12is it going to come from... electronically from Armagh?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Absolutely! I think we're going to try and get people over here.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19No, I think it used to be that you had to move
0:17:19 > 0:17:21and you had to be in the centre of everything.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26But now, just through social media and through, you know...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28We can do as well here as we can do in London.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31So if the time comes and we're playing that amount of gigs
0:17:31 > 0:17:33and we're doing so much stuff, we might move,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35but at the minute, we're quite content.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Big things ahead for sure.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Conchur, thanks so much for joining us this evening.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54# Tell me, can I go?
