Melanin Man (feat. Masego)

The Blue Nile are the most enigmatic band in pop. Releasing just four albums in twenty years. Yet fans of their melancholic perfection include everyone from Peter Gabriel to 2016's hottest act, The 1975. Ken Sweeney's In Search of The Blue Nile airs the 28th of December at 10pm on RTÉ Radio 1

In Search Of The Blue Nile

Word Of The Father

February 2012

I'm just home from the session in the local pub here in Howth, where I sang this. I don't remember where I first heard this — possibly Phil Coulter? Cara Dillon has a typically lovely version on her first album. In my Soodlum's Irish Ballad Book it tells me that the lyric was written by a nineteenth century gentleman, Sir Samuel Ferguson, and that the tune is an air called 'The Tailor'.

Dear thoughts are in my mind, and my soul soars enchanted,
As I hear the sweet lark sing in the clear air of the day.
For a tender beaming smile to my hope has been granted,
And tomorrow she shall hear all my fond heart would say.

I shall tell her all my love, all my soul's adoration,
And I think she will hear me, and will not answer me nay.
It's this that gives my soul all its joyous elation,
As I hear the sweet lark sing in the clear air of the day.

For Jenny, on her way home from New Zealand — "...tomorrow she shall hear all my fond heart would say..."

Barry Smith of Fingal Libraries writes and narrates this podcast that explores the role of trees in ancient Irish society. We will look at how trees became integral aspects of our ancestors’ world. How myths and legends were woven around their complex meaning and symbolism. How trees influenced our early society and became the inspiration for our first alphabet, objects of veneration, focal points in the landscape, proprietors of medicine and even filled precious vellum pages of brehon law texts. The dramatic decline of the importance of trees will be discussed but also the modern day attempts to restore Ireland’s woodlands.

I am a singer, multi-instrumentalist (I play piano, guitar, clarinet, drums, and anything similar to those four), a composer and arranger, and a teacher.

I'm a member of Off The Wall, a wedding/events band. Check out the link below...

I was a member of James Vincent McMorrow‘s band. We toured his ‘Post Tropical’ album in 2014/15, travelling 3 continents, performing over 100 shows in 10 months to tens of thousands of people.

I teach piano, guitar and theory privately to students of all ages and stages. Lately I've been teaching full time at Alexandra College in Dublin.
