For some reason, I can’t listen to English speaking radio stations here in Ireland…..it just grates me, like rubbing polystyrene together.

But I can and do listen to the Gaelic language station, don’t understand a word of it but for some reason it fits with the landscape.

Anyway, had a lovely late evening drive last night along the lanes (it’s all lanes ! Lol ) as the sun was setting after a beautiful day and was listening to this type of stuff, which I do fairly often.

I’m sitting here having my cup of coffee, listening to some type of bird of prey in the wood beyond, terrier is whining at me…..

Had a real "moment" when me and the wife visited the Sacre Couer in Paris, many years ago. It's a stunning place anyway, but when we walked in the nuns were singing, it was very moving, my wife c

This gets me somewhat emotional....

That's exactly how I feel.

Walking into old monasteries always makes me feel the same. I always sort of freeze for a second , as everything seems so familiar. They often have a tape playing , and it's like I've heard the sounds before.

My late wife always said that I'd been a monk in a previous life . Not the religious pious type of monk , but the type of monk that ate whole roast chickens , and drank gallons of mead 😄.

My beleife is that it is a real feeling mate, it’s well documented that I believe a people are connected to everything that ever went before them so for me that would seem totally normal.

Will look him up 👍

 

Just listened to a few of his tracks, including 'you could be free'  2023 narrowboat sessions, very good.

It's a stunning place anyway, but when we walked in the nuns were singing, it was very moving, my wife cried and every hair on my body stood on end...chilling to be honest... I'm not a religious man, but I seek.out places of worship wherever we go, we do a lot of city breaks and spend a good chunk of time walking around old churches, cathedrals etc... I guess we are all drawn to something, maybe Wilfs got it, in that it's embedded in our past and music brings it to our present...who knows...

Yep, I think that as well…..maybe I’m just imagining things but it connects you to your past I feel.

Funny you say that mate I am descended from Irish immigrants that made this country what it used to be and I love this kind of music my wife thinks I am not the full ticket though.

I’m surpassing that ! Lol ……over a thousand years and counting ! 

I got one the Dubliners to play at a football fundraiser and night out I organised a few years back, he was a top lad and gave his time for nothing as his step grandchild played on the kids team I was coaching.  
Very talented professional, touring musician.

I reckon it could be a real thing mate, and these things are somehow in your DNA.

Took my Dad to watch the Furys last year, after many years of not really listening to them me and my brother sang along to most of the songs, remembering words youd have thought lost in over 35 years of time! as a family of Irish descent Irish songs were a big lump of childhood..
