For Those I Love (aka David Balfe) is about to release his excellent new album Carving The Stone. He sits on how his uncle's DVD collection gave him his hard edges, the way The Streets' Original Pirate Material changed his life, Dublin's inaffordability, making his own videos and all the different jobs he's done to keep making music.
