Q&A with Rachel Lindsay

If you were to choose your favourite meal what would it be, where and why?

The Beechlawn Hotel’s bacon and beef burger is by far my favourite meal, because the atmosphere is relaxed.

What has been your proudest moment?

When I was in second year I placed second out of 27 in a poetry competition. Although it’s not my most recent achievement, it was the first time I had ever performed in front of anyone. I was going to pull out at the last minute because I was so nervous. This was a real breakthrough for me as it gave me the confidence 
to do more.

What was the most frightening moment of your life?

In 2006 I found out that my Daddy wasn’t going to survive cancer. I knew already that he had been ill but I never thought that he wouldn’t make it. When my mum told me that he wasn’t going to make it, I had never cried so much in my life.
