Often I find myself grappling and a little frustrated with some incomplete element which I’m working on: a song, a lyric, a bassline. It’s good to look back when I get to the end.

This is a little film of my son on a very peaceful (and cold) beach in Sligo, looking for sea shells. The soundtrack is a voice memo of the song which later became ‘South Star’ on ‘Keg’. In the background of the voice memo you can hear the sounds of living! And in the latter part of the video you can hear the final, studio recorded version. All the ingredients for ‘South Star’.
