Hope Has A Place In

We Called The Album 'amarantine' To Mean Everlasting. Poets Use The Word To Describe An Everlasting Flower And I Loved The Image Of That.

My Influences Are With Irish Music, Church Music And Classical Music.

I'm Not One For Walking The Beaches Humming A Melody. I Love The Discipline Of Sitting In The Studio, Writing And Listening. That Is My Domain.

It's Very Homely, This Castle. It Doesn't Have Huge Ballrooms. I Didn't Want A Cold, Cavernous Place.

Music Is Like A Mirror In Front Of You. You're Exposing Everything, But Surely That's Better Than Suppressing. You Have To Dig Deep And That Can Be Hard For Anybody, No Matter What Profession. I Feel That I Need To Actually Push Myself To The Limit To Feel Happy With The End Result.
