Picture This: Feeling top of the world

Picture This have sold out 3Arena for five nights and just launched their album in New York. No wonder they’re so happy, writes Ed Power.

On February 10, Picture This’ Ryan Hennessy took his seat at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles for the Grammy Awards. As he and his band-mates settled in among the great and the good of the music industry they couldn’t help reflect how far they’d come — and how quickly. That same night three years previously Hennessy was at home in Athy, County Kildare, staring at the four walls of his parents’ house.
