I was in lockdown at home in Carrickfinn , Co Donegal during the Covid 19 Pandemic.
I went for my daily walk by my home, to Tráigh an Bháid and An Trá Bán and so many things went through my mind on these walks, initially afraid of what could happen but gradually through listening to the nature that surrounded me ; the crash of the Atlantic on the shore, the gentle wind brushing my face and the joyous bird song, my spirit lifted and I would return to my home filled with joy and hope.
Through this daily ritual I was inspired to play music and even compose pieces.
