Arrived on my birthday - my M'ANAM film has now been selected for some cool festivals across the world. This one in South Africa. I'll probably drop it on YouTube in March if anyone would like to see it.

And you may ask yourself where this new release came from. Being honest, so am I - this is Sanctum, a 14 track compilation of my spiritual music with early Irish arrangements, and a few new tracks. It appears next week appropriately on Good Friday on streaming services and Bandcamp.

This is me doing arty stuff in The Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Co Monaghan all this week. This week I'm putting the finishing touches to a new piece and the artwork for a new collection of music I'm releasing, eh, next week or so.
Is there any way to not be a chaotic mess?
