about
Leitrim
Written at home this clearly shows the impact my first holiday in Ireland had on me. I was already well immersed in their Folk music traditions, and was listening to an awful lot of Uillean Pipe material at the time -you can hear this in the way I play the Prophet 5 lead. An offer to take a trip by (canal) boat through the inner lakes of the Shannon -Erne system lead inevitably to a blissful week floating through the beautifully timeless counties of Cavan, Roscommon and of course Leitrim. I think all of that can be heard in this track and it is probably one of my most literal. I wrote it as soon as I got home, and not long after I would up-sticks and move to Ireland full time (and thus scupper the albums release.....!).
