So long 2024, you really kept us on our toes and gave us so much to be grateful for.

As we take some downtime to enjoy our beautiful corner of the world, we want to say a heart felt thank you to the many friends old and new who trusted us to guide them on their record making journey this year.

We’ve been proud to see bands in their earliest stages go out and start conquering the world, while also being inspired by artists further along the path produce some of their best work yet.

…and there is so much to look forward to in the coming year.

Grá Mór and best wishes for 2025

.clague has contributed so much to the music of Clonakilty, Cork and beyond performing live with a huge number of ensembles in all sorts of stages and corners, and she never fails to bring joy to anyone within earshot!

So it’s especially satisfying to have made this record show casing Eve’s brilliant way with melody, her distinctive acoustic guitar work and beautifully honest songwriting.

Producing and playing on this record was such a pleasure, and I know the other contributers to this album felt the same.

However you listen to music, sit down with this one, let the world stand still, and consider purchasing a copy to support a brilliant person.

Turns out to make an ancient kingdom it takes a village.

Fior Uisce from John Spillane is out today.
It’s an epic Irish folk opera like no other.

We’re incredibly privileged to have produced and mixed it, as well as getting deep into sound design and unconventional instrumentation.

Based on the mythology of The Lough in Cork, John created timeless stories and characters which were brought to life by the incredible voices of :

Ríoghnach Connolly - The Queen
Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin - The King
Niamh Farrell - The Princess
Nell Ní Chróinín - The Bard
Gearóid Ó Duinnín- The Druid
Aisling Urwin - The Fairy (among other characters)
Liam Heffernan agus Giordaí Ua Laoghaire - The Two Fools
Gavin Moore agus Thaddeus Ó Buachalla - Chorus/Warriors
John Spillane - The Prince/ Sea God

Instrumentation by

Aisling Urwin - Harp
Billy Mag Fhloinn - Ancient Horns
Lea Miklody - Cello
Alan Doherty- Flute and Whistles
Andrew O’ Sullivan - Stone age percussion
John Spillane - Guitar
Fionn Hennessy Hayes- The Spillane family drum

Thanks to Ciara O Leary Fitzpatrick for steering the ship and also to Castleview Mills Conservation for letting us do an afternoon of experimental location recording.

Have had the honour of working on this beautiful project for the bones of the last year. Aside from featuring some of Ireland’s most incredible folk singers/players, it’s an amazing show case of the imagination, emotional depth and melodic brilliance of John Spillane’s writing, unfiltered and full of life.

If you love good story telling, the Irish language and brilliant tunes then pre-order yourself a copy and keep an eye out for details of the unique free launch celebration in September.
Its not an exaggeration to say that working on this project has been life changing in all the right ways.

So long 2023, possibly our most eclectic year of music making yet.

Thank you to all the friends old and new who entrusted us with your music and who shared in so many brilliantly meandering chats over well earned tea breaks!

The world may have its ups and downs but once people keep talking and sharing what they create with each other then there will always be so many moments to enjoy. ❤️
