Farewell to Old Erin, Ah Surely

ON THE GO!

On the go

Here is a short reel I wrote over the past month or so, which I am sharing with you on the occasion of the longest night of the year

Traditionally, Winter Solstice was a celebration of the rebirth of the sun, driving out the darkness, and the coming of longer days.


This year (2020), this has taken on even more meaning as we attempt to drive the virus that has taken over our lives. There is a clear frustration in this music too, I hope we can all relate to

However, this tune is also celebration of darkness it even has a groove. Midwinter doesn’t have to be all bleak.

Farewell to Old Erin, Ah Surely
