Inis Oirr

Inis Oirr, what an island. We were the only main-landers there and as soon as we arrived off the boat there was scones, tea, hang sandwiches and a crackling fire waiting for us. I'll be back for I've promised my father a pint.

The Crib of 2010

We kept up the great tradition of our window crib. The photos miss out on some of the detail but let me tell you it was very 2010.
In the subterranean level there are the Chilean miners having their last supper, an oil pipe, skeletons and a lava vent.The crib itself was frightfully political featuring baby Jesus (a felt cutout of Ireland), Joseph played by Nicolas Sarkozy, Mary played by Angela Merkel and the three 'wise' kings played by none other than the holy trilogy that is Brian Cowen, Mary Coughlan and Brian Lenehan. Also featured are the BP oil spill and the Icelandic volcano 'Kjhefhjksdhgfsdjkiwihjsdkjuoooooooobang'.
It was definitely a popular sight on our street. I really don't know how we can ever match it's greatness again.

Sensorium

I just had a piece performed the Sensorium festival. It was wonderful and very gratifying to be included. Everyone running the event did an AMAZING job. A great week altogether.
