This is a video that was shot before I even found the studio that I ended up recording the album in. The morning of this shoot the camera assist, Yvonne Ryan, mentioned Charthouse Studios to me, and gave me the contact info of Ian McNulty, who ended up engineering and mixing the record. The band Yvonne is in, Ambience Affair, had recorded at that studio, and she knew that they had recently put a piano in.
The video was shot by Mark Willis of Bluestack Records, who also very kindly did my promo video for my fundit campaign, and my brother Phil Brett was taking care of the sound. The video was intended for a larger project the two guys had in mind, but I’m told there’s been problems with the external hard drive Mark had stored the footage on. I hope they didn’t lose all that work. Hard drive failures are annoying as hell, as I recently was reminded myself.
However, this one long shot take survives, and the guys put it together for me, for which I’m very grateful.
This song is on the album, in a more fleshed out version with drums, bass and cello, but in this video it’s just me and a piano in Charlie Byrne’s Bookshop in Galway.
