I don’t know what she was watching, but having her beside me made playing cello outside in a field in Mayo feel a little less strange

Music is my cello version of Enya’s Only Time — one of the old cottage videos I’ve been finding again.

I’ve started going back through old cottage videos and keep finding Nisha there beside the music. Here she is on the left, close by as always, while I play a slow version of Turlough O’Carolan’s Bridget Cruise. Cello, garden, sunshine, and the small black dog who was so often part of it all.

Last week, we said goodbye to our beautiful Nisha. She came to us as a rescue, after being found as a stray, and became a deeply loved part of our family, and part of the music too, appearing quietly in so many of the cottage videos. Thank you to everyone who noticed her, asked about her, and loved her from afar. The music in the video is called “Nisha”, it's a melody we used to sing it to her at home during Covid lockdown, and I later recorded it on my album Solace. She was deeply loved. We miss her so much

Happy St. David's Day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
Happy St. David's Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Over 1400 years ago, at the time of St. David, a Welsh mother sang to her baby Dinogad. Her song was found written in the margin of the 7th century Welsh heroic poem Y Gododdin. The Welsh lullaby 'Dinogad's Smock' here played on viola da gamba #GwylDewi

On @RTERadio1 this morning around 9:50am I'll be playing some cello live and chatting bout my performance this Friday with the RTE Concert Orchestra @rte_co then straight accross the hallway for rehearsal with the big orchestra! I'm expect I'll be shedding a few tears of awe hearing my little cello tunes played by a huge 45 piece orchestra, what a day!
