Wire Strung Harp: Bass for Dance Music. The use of Na Comluighe
The very particular tuning of the Wire Strung Harp shows us two strings lying beside each other tuned G. It is exactly the same note and nobody knows why they are there. Those two strings are called na comluighe or the sisters. There have been wild speculations even theories based on spirituality. Some of the Wire Strung Harp harpers even abolished the double string tuning. Nobody has yet developed or played baselines with the double G incorporated or made any use of them. This is where my work comes in. With relative easiness, a rapid, rhythmic way of playing is accomplished. Here a peep into my work. Watch this space.

sketching Willie Clancy Festival
My favorite sketches selected from studies I made on the Willie Clancy Festival in Miltown Malbay.
Sheela in progress
Went to my favorite shop to get whites and found myself a set of foxes bones. Always liked to make studies of bones.
One of my Shelas from the Gods series : The fear Shela na gig.
You pass threw her portal by letting go of your fears. Than she will take all your pain and sorrow, everything shitty, the whole lot. No bother. If you concentrate on the eyes you will see your fear concentrate on the moon, you will let go.
