I began by making videos for music...
Meeting some great artists and making great friends...
And trying to make some good work along the way...

I neither own nor claim any copyright to either video or song - just think they go together well.
Combining archive footage with contemporary music performance to celebrate the developing value of art in Ireland over the past 60 years, and the strength of the shoulders that we all now stand on.
Funded by The Arts Council in association with RTE and Filmbase.
We were meant to do this in a dark room, but on the day the sun was shining and it seemed silly to go inside. So we dragged out the gear and made loud noises for a couple of hours, getting sunburned and meeting some of our neighbours. They were lovely and didn't mind the noises.
