New instrumental single
Just added a new instrumental track on ReverbNation
(now on Deezer and Amazon Music and will soon be on Apple Music/Spotify/YouTube!) – called, ‘Lift Your Heads (instrumental)’. I extracted the music from a longer song and added a drum beat at one point and a few other tweaks. It's quite rocky, with a Celtic twist. Enjoy!

New music video
We have just released another music video on YouTube of the song,

I Will Lift My Eyes Up (music video with lyrics)
– a worship song comprising a lively Irish reel and based on Psalm 121. We managed to salvage the video from an old backup and added back the audio from the original album. (Originally recorded in 2005)

New single
The Celtic rock instrumental track, ‘Ar tir seo aguinne (Our Land)’,
mysteriously disappeared off my first album on various digital sites,
