This tune I dedicate to the people from Homs, one of Syria’s ruined cities. I wrote it when the news came in that Homs was lost and back under control of Assad’s murderous clan. For what we know of the situation, they say there’s very little left of…
The Feale is the river that runs through the village of Abbeyfeale where I was last October to join the traditional singing festival and when this tune arose the river overflowed it’s banks, inundating the whole GAA field. It’s been a very wet weekend in…
