This song was born on a misty Killarney hillside in winter. It echoes the aisling form of poetry, for personal allegory rather than the political ones from times of old. A melancholic musing, a foggy awakening from a strange dream. Under an Impression features the French horn playing of Louise Sullivan and the high sonorous tones of my niece, Ava

This song was born on a misty Killarney hillside in winter. It echoes the aisling form of poetry, for personal allegory rather than the political ones from times of old. A melancholic musing, a foggy awakening from a strange dream. Under an Impression features the French horn playing of Louise Sullivan and the high sonorous tones of my niece, Ava O'Malley, on backing vocals.

Fire and Foam is the title track of an album to come, forgoing, or maybe better put, branching out from Irish roots to carve a new sound of synthetic and organic forces moulded into one. The song (and album) deals with destruction and realignment to a new world. "Come rolling thunder, let's fall asunder, in the blink of an eye a long dream dies."

Fire and Foam is the title track of an album to come, forgoing, or maybe better put, branching out from Irish roots to carve a new sound of synthetic and organic forces moulded into one. The song (and album) deals with destruction and realignment to a new world. "Come rolling thunder, let's fall asunder, in the blink of an eye a long dream dies." This first fire and vanguard of the new record to come, features the trumpet playing of Roy Kelleher of the No1 Brigade Irish Army Band, and my niece Ava O'Malley on backing vocals.
