about

A heartfelt cello and harp arrangement of the ancient Irish melody, "The Wexford Carol," featuring harper Claire O'Donnell.

What makes this collaboration even more special is the shared history between Claire and me. We went to school together, played music as children, and are now reuniting for the first time to create this heartfelt piece.

Crafted in the serene surroundings of my West of Ireland cottage, this piece is a musical journey that blends tradition with modern resonance. Your unwavering support has made this collaboration possible, and I'm excited to share this unique experience with you.

Prepare to be transported as the cello and harp entwine in a tapestry of emotive notes, breathing new life into this cherished Irish composition.

lyrics

Good people all, this Christmas time,
Consider well and bare in mind...
