Irish Music With Christy Moore

I have a five-generation, connectivity with all sorts of musical genres. Irish Music Sessions, festivals, sing-songs, musicals, and choirs - were our nights out. I was lucky to live in Arklow, Co. Wicklow with its renowned body of excellent - makers of music where the traditions are as strong.  

I loved to sketch - with the rhythm - capturing the body language, the glances and nods, the speed and variety at which the music was made – the unity and interaction when sound, light, shapes and musicians melded as one. This particular painting was inspired by sketches done at a Christy Moore concert playing with Planxty.
