Dear Friends,

I know friends who have a strong connection to one place whilst living in another. I’ve experienced this myself when living in different parts of the world… it can be a time when you feel connected to home, ironically.

The idea of having feet in two locations is something which echoes in my music. Sligo and Dublin are both places that awaken something in me; the one in stillness, the other in its night alive.

I think this kind of duality can be a very nourishing thing. I had it when growing up - living in Sligo but frequently going to see family in Dublin and Galway (I guess that makes three places! Maybe a triad, trinity or trio!?).

This little video uses a song called ‘Yma’ which is buried deep on my album ‘The Soft Animal’. Even more on that another time.
