garavogue

Video for Ag Ol, ag Ol ag an Garbhóg

I wrote this song with Enda Reilly a few years ago. Sitting overlooking Sligo from Knocknarea Mountain I was struck by the county's beauty. That in itself is not something particularly rare or uncommon, the landscape being so stunning, but on this occasion I felt connected to the past and to the many who had shared the same feeling I was experiencing. From Knocknarea I could see the Garavogue, the river on which Sligo is built. It became a song about memory and how strongly we can feel a sense of connection to a place.
