(I will come back to look for you) a tale of confluences

As I moved on into my teens I saw ‘The Horslips’ play live and was swept away by them. Charles O Connor played a shiny black electric violin and was the coolest guy on the planet. I stood at the foot of the stage at his feet. I saw myself then and there.

Back in 2012 I sat for a portrait with painter Nick Miller. I played some improv on the fiddle while he painted and the resulting tunes sparked what would become the 2017 album, Beekeeper.
