I've got a friend called Lucy. Lucy is a video maker, and a saint. Last year at a show, she heard me play a song called "The World is Wide" and she was struck with the idea to make a video for it. Well I'm delighted to tell you that she's done it! She followed through and turned the idea into reality, and it looks beautiful. Read More

Last month I had the pleasure of spending a day with Myles O'Reilly, an Irish Film-Maker whose work I've been a fan of for a long time. I knew that good things would come from the day but the resulting 11 minute film is greater than I could have ever wished for. I am so excited to share this with you:

"Brilliant 11 minutes. So much more than a music video. Bone-marrow Irish but some how also Universal. So Fine." - @Stilpix via Twitter

On shoot for "The World is Wide" Video - Photo by Lucy Jones, June 8th 2014.

I'm feeling a bit hyper and caffeinated this morning. Last night was another late one. It came after a long but enjoyable day of trekking and adventuring with Lucy Jones and John Hennessy of Kerbute Productions (Video-makers extraordinaire). It was day one of making a video for a song of mine called "The World is Wide". The song is about two children with adventurous hearts. We spent the day at Howth, a picturesque village on the outskirts of Dublin. Read More

The Song is "Things You're Dreaming of" and will be on the new album "Outlines" which is comes out this Autumn. Read More
