''Old Spirits Calling on the Wind' was written one stormy night in a house overlooking the Atlantic ocean in West Clare, the wind was howling down the chimney and it had an almost ghostly voice, which stirred up various images. I began to think of our ancestors who lived, worked and shaped the land and who would eventually become a part of it themselves. It is about theirs and our relationship with it and the elemental forces that influence it and how if we take time to listen, we will feel appreciate them and our countryside.' - Trevor Hansbury, August 2025
