from Damien O’Reilly Compositions
I was lucky enough to grow up in a quiet rural place which is a townland of Imeall Boirne, Rath. Due to the quiet nature of my home it allowed me to focus a lot of my time to playing music. The tune is a reference to the surroundings of my home. One can see the Burren off in the horizon on a clear day and our house was built in the middle of a valley.
The tune is also influenced by one of my musical heroes, Finbarr Dwyer.
