about

This album was recorded between 5pm on Saturday September 5th and 3am on Sunday September 6th in this year of ‘Oh Lord’ 2020.

This album was recorded in the garden of fair winds.

This album was recorded in accordance with all applicable public health guidelines (for the most part).

This album was recorded under the supervision of Shelly The Feline Diva.

This album was recorded with, and indeed could not have been recorded without the ongoing help and guidance of the following outstanding human beings; Anna Jordan and all the contributors to the Jordan’s Bar Session, Jenna Whelan of Goma, Gallery of modern art, Waterford, Kevin Power, Stephen Walsh, Rob Doherty, Síle Penkert, Damien McDonnell, Eoin Dalton, Éadaoin Breathnach, Paul McDonald, Pamela McNamara, Adam McNamara, Ray Tynan, Jacqui Kelleher, Mark Lethbridge.

This album was recorded on a whim, in a tizzy, on a wing and a prayer, for shits and giggles, with hand on heart and heart in mouth, in sad commemoration of summers past, in joyous anticipation of summers to come, without fear or favour, from the point of view of the fearful but unbowed, among friends, amid laughter, to demonstrate that what we are and what we cherish most endures, to pass the time beautifully.

This album was recorded to be listened to, perhaps by one like you.
