The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.

This tune was composed to commemorate Celtic Colours Festival, Nova Scotia. It’s a brilliant festival, where I’ve been lucky to make lots of friends over the years. Myself and Troy MacGillivray were artists-in-residence together in 2020, collaborating from afar – hence the title ‘Distant Colours’.
