Thanks so much Stella! So glad it brought you back to that trip! You captured the wilds of west Clare so beautifully, thanks for sharing your newsletter. Also John O’ Donoghue is one of my favourites!!

Just incredible, as always Niamh. This one was so transporting — I felt like I was walking along a cliff on the Irish coast, living out my life as an Irish Poldark. Thank you for this beautiful piece!

This is beautiful Niamh. I can hear the lonely landscape and wind, in waves. Transported.

The sound of cicadas or a sip of pastis will always take me back to the amazing time when I lived in the South of France.

Hi David, thanks so much for your lovely words. The Burren is such a magical place! Sometimes it’s easy to forget the insane natural beauty we have at home!

Really beautiful, Niamh. You captured perfectly that bittersweetness you wrote about. I’ve never visited Ireland (from Australia) but I’m sure that having some Irish ancestry has seeped into my subconscious because I’ve long felt an affinity to the music and it often creeps into my own compositions. I look forward to hearing more of your beautiful music and reading the stories behind them.
