A huge thank you to @artscouncilni for the support in upgrading my Nord Stage piano. My old Stage 1 gave me 19 years of music, from barns to stadiums, festivals to concert halls, clubs to recording studios. It’s been everywhere with me (and picked up more than a few scars along the way).

The pic above is of the new Stage 4’s debut, fittingly at Mussenden Temple with @thedarklingair & @arco_stringquartet.

Here’s to another 20 years of music (I may require replacing before this one does) 😂

A big thank you to EVERYONE that made last nights @thedarklingair @arco_stringquartet show at the iconic Mussenden Temple. A special privilege to perform in that space and the greatest thanks need to go to Stu @wearestuntdoublemusic all at @thevoxset Paul on sound and Gwen and Alan and Sam and all of the crew there who worked so hard. David Walker for capturing all in his OB truck and to all of your who travelled to share in the experience and to @nationaltrustnorthcoast for allowing us to create such an evening in the sun. ☀️

Thank you!

@thedarklingair & @arco_stringquartet will return.

It is hard to believe it has been 10 years (today) since we lost the brilliant mind of Gerry Anderson, broadcaster, wordsmith and raconteur. Still missed by us all.

Gerry’s moving docufilm “A City Dreaming” screened again on BBC 1 again last night in commemoration.

It was my pleasure to score the original orchestral soundtrack in 2013 for this the most personal of Gerry’s work. Available to view on iPlayer today again.

When Foy Vance asked me to produce “The Joy of Nothing” in 2013 we had no idea the journey those songs would take & what they would mean to people. So it was both unusual & beautiful for me to have the chance to re-visit them, score new arrangements for The Ulster Orchestra, then perform them with Foy & the gang for 3 sold out nights in Belfast’s Waterfront Hall to celebrate it’s 10th anniversary.

Working in music, it can feel indulgent to stop & take stock of the things that happen around us. They happen with little time to think and are often over all too quickly.

But I sat on a flight case on the corner of the stage at The Waterfront Hall during a piano break at the tail end of our 3rd night and I looked around and thought to myself : “Shit this is cool, what a privilege to do what we do, in the way that we do it, with the people that we do it with” - and I figured we should try never to take that for granted.

So I wanted to take a moment to thank those that sent lovely messages & give a shout out at least to some of those from my end of things for their help:

@foyvance - for being himself, writing amazing songs & having us all along to share in this celebration. He is a force of nature.

@bonniebishopforrockstar
@r_coultergeist

@ulsterorchestra
Were incredible. Special thanks to each and every one of them including :
Conductor: David Brophy
Leader: Ioana Petcu-Colan
UO management & staff including Patrick McCarthy, Paul McKinley & all behind the scenes.

Special guest Gary Lightbody for being a genuine legend @garysnowpatrol

Live Sound :
John Willis (FOH)
Ryan (on monitors) & their team
Live recording :
Karl Walker, David Walker & co.
Music preparation :
Fab copying/prep duties by Paul, John and Samuel @studioorchestrations

@josephdonohue for looking after us.

Steve Bursky, Maddy & all @foundations
And a special mention to @mrbabysweet for hanging with us all week & being a little lovely turnip to have about!
@keeneyka for being super-supportive as always throughout ❤️

There are countless others that I didn’t even see, but that is the nature of these things.

My respect to you all.

Until the 20th anniversary :)

10 years ago I produced an album called "The Joy of Nothing" (Glassnote, 2013) for my friend Foy Vance.

I'm excited to say we have paired up again to celebrate that record and I am delighted to be orchestrating new versions of the songs from that album (and some other Foy classics) for 2 special live performances with The Ulster Orchestra in The Waterfront Hall, Belfast on the 24th & 25th of August.

Very happy to have contributed small amounts of piano to my very talented buddy @lukesitalsingh ‘s new record. Out now for your perusal.

And just like that it’s arrived. My fourth album Dressing Like A Stranger is out now! Go stream/buy/steal/whatever it today! 🎉

I’m insanely proud of this album. It’s the most honest distillation of what I’m about and I’m so pleased it’s finally out there in full album form. Call me old fashioned but this is an album for headphones or nice speakers. If you can spare the time to listen all the way through, well that’s the golden ticket. But whatever way you listen I’ll just be happy you chose my songs over the bazillion other options out there. Let me know what you think.

Oh and massive thanks to this crew for helping make it what it is

Out today : a 3rd single from @hannahpeelmusic with @paraorchestra on @realworldrec
“Universe Before Matter”
I loved mixing this record.
More below (repost from @hannahpeelmusic )

The new single ‘Universe Before Matter’ is out today!

A mix of synths, acoustic and digital instruments with soprano voice. Lyrics inspired by @robgmacfarlane #Underland book

Written for and performed by @paraorchestra and myself, this track is the opening to the album and a heady 11mins long! It was supposed to be the last track but actually I thought ‘fuck this, it’s our favourite so it’s going first’
So there you go 😘

Buíochas mór le @siledenvir as an réamhrá álainn a scríobh.
Buíochas ó chroí le @aibhlinmccrann as tacú leis an fís ón tús agus muid a mhisniú.
Thanks to @barryolga of @kilkennyartsfestival and Gerard Keenan of the @irishchamberorchestra for their unwavering support throughout and for their incredible foresight and positivity. Without their infinite energy and hard work, alongside the support of their teams, the project would not have come to fruition.
