Recently I recorded a new song called ‘La Lune’ for a short film in association with Tourism Ireland and Snow Water. A lovely socially distanced recording in Helens Bay to highlight the ‘Distant Sky’ music festival on Rathlin Island which should have been happening over the weekend of the summer solstice.  Check it out below! 🙂
