WEEKEND SPECIAL & BEARDFIRE MUSIC STAND WITH UKRAINE! 🇺🇦

At a time when the entire world is gripped by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it seems fitting to reissue the anthemic, “Who can silence the wind?”

Originally recorded in 2018, “Who can silence the wind?” recalls the funeral of the great Russian writer, Boris Pasternak (Dr. Zhivago). A poet, novelist, and son of two Ukrainian parents who remained close to his roots & sensitive to the harsh realities of life under Soviet rule.

As new horrors unfold before us today, and as an outpouring of support and humanitarian aid flows to Ukraine the sentiments of “Who can silence the wind?” seem very fitting.

'Who can silence the wind?' is now available to purchase on Bandcamp, with all proceeds being donated to the relief work of The Irish Red Cross and UNICEF in Ukraine.

Donate via Bandcamp at the link below:
