Written in Guillaume and Isobel's kitchen in Hackney Downs during the big snow in December 2009. I had just returned to London from a few months spent in the States, completely broke, and in need of a new flat and a new job, but very happy nonetheless. Recorded at Arad Studios in December 2013. 

St Marks' Rise I

This is the first song I wrote since returning to my home on the south coast of Co. Wexford in July(2014). It's about friendship, and was inspired by all the good people I knocked about with this summer - walkers, players, talkers, swimmers, co-workers, sisters, cousins, family, neighbours...

Birds On The Wing

Earlier in 2014 local Wexford-based artist/filmmaker and sheep farmer, Els Dietvorst asked me to write the theme song for her film, 'The Rabbit & The Teasel'. The film tells the tale of a farmer as he struggles to survive apocalyptic flooding due to rising sea levels and relentless storms. Eerily enough, as I began writing the song last February the worst storms to hit Ireland in living memory struck, and flooded every coastal townland and village along the west and south coasts of the country, Wexford included.
