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 hornpipe was composed during the national lockdown of our country as a result of Covid-19. The tune title came to me as I reflected on the impact this pandemic was having on the music of Ireland and it’s musicians.
The title personifies our unique traditional Irish music as gaining some respite from the global music touring circuit where it has become a vocation for so many.
