Look,it was never a plan to get the dog washing the dishes to pay for her upkeep.

We just wanted to rescue her . But hey ,I'll take it .

Agreed 💯
If you ever wondered what Ireland sounded like, these 3 related releases will mislead you in the most magnificent way...

On the Edition records label . Without doubt one of my albums of the year , The Shieling by Fergus McGreadie a Scottish Jazz composer . Recorded in the wilds of the Scottish Hebridie islands . Pristine sounding record .

There are no Hedge Schools or Arrivalists albums on Spotify. That was a conscious decision I made with myself watching a billionaire funding drone research to kill children. At some point we say a collective no . I consider myself utterly blessed that people still ring the bell of the Bandcamp store

The DJ Carey documentary, equally nauseating and fascinating.

Absolutely YES to this .
I've written a novel, Experts in a Dying Field. It's out on Penguin Sandycove in June. It's about about a band and a tragedy & art for art's sake & aging & loss & community & Dublin. There's a fox in it. & sheet music. The beautiful cover's by Jack Smyth. You can preorder: linktr.ee/expertsinady...

On the mornings when the blues are wandering in I stave them off by rewatching this . The mesmerizing joy in Christy Moore's face and in Donal Lunny as they gaze on Liam O'Flynn's genius . It is absolutely gorgeous.

Just saw a job I really liked the look of . A walking for all officer/coordinator for Sligo to encourage and develop community based walking and exploration in the area.

One of the requirements is to wait for it , a drivers licence. 🙄 .

Spare me ..

This is my 6th year posting this same message. Black Friday is a nonsense with often pretend discounts on stuff you probably don’t need. We’ll do as we always do at this time and increase the 1% of all income we give to Women’s Aid to 10% on web sales over the weekend. Fuck Black Friday. #speirgorm

"You leave in the morning with everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face.

Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
For the answers you seek will never be found at home
The love that you need will never be found at home"
