I am delighted to have two full sets at this years Motor City Irish Fest this coming weekend. Well done to the organizers for getting it up and running coming out of the Covid situation. With so many folks here in Michigan now fully vaccinated it’s been great seeing people’s faces again in the shops(stores:)) and hopefully we’ll have a fun festival. I’ll also be playing a set in the Childrens tent on Sunday at 6.30 so that should be good craic too.
I’m performing at 2 to 3pm on Saturday and at 4.45 to 5.45pm on Sunday both in the Gaelic League Tent.

I was recently contacted by Abbey from planetresolution.com and asked to do a version of the Resolution Song as Gaeilge and one day later this is what I had. There are many great versions with choirs and all manner of amazing musicians out there if you search #planetresolution. Nice to see others singing about this most important of causes and great to see how this song has brought folks from all over the world together through song. I decided to do some looping as there’s so many options for that with this song. Irish and English lyrics are below.
Beir bua! E
The Resolution Project is a global music and climate action project.
The Resolution song has been sung by thousands of people in over 100 countries.
The song is a demonstration of global unity and the will to act now to protect our planet.

Taispeáin do Rúndaingne (An Domhain ar ár nGuaillí)
Tá sé fógartha
Ta sé glaoite amach
Cad feasta?
Ó ghuth amháin go
dtí an slua is mó
Cad feasta?
‘s le fáilte is fiche (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Do gach braon aigéanach (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Taispeán do rúndaingne (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Deirfimis
Is lá nua amárach
Táimse seasta anseo leat sa seasta anseo liom sa
Seasta leis an domhain ar ár nguaillí
Táimse seasta anseo leat sa seasta anseo liom sa
Seasta leis an domhain ar ár nguaillí
Chuirfimis an síol
Athrímís-lái threach bonn
le haghaidh domhain níos fearr
áit níos fearr láithreach bonn
‘s le fáilte is fiche (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Do gach braon aigéanach (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Taispeán do rúndaingne (‘sé an t-am agat é!)
Deirfimis
Is lá nua amárach
Táimse seasta anseo leat sa seasta anseo liom sa
Seasta leis an domhain ar ár nguaillí
Táimse seasta anseo leat sa seasta anseo liom sa
Seasta leis an domhain ar ár nguaillí
English lyrics
World On Our Shoulders
We have called it out
We have said it loud
What now ?
From a single voice
to the greatest crowd
What now
With our arms wide open (Time For a Change)
For every drop in the ocean (Time For A Change)
Make a Resolution (Time For A Change)
We say
Tomorrow’s a new day
I’m here standing with you here standing with me
standing with the world on our shoulders
I’m here standing with you here standing with me
standing with the world on our shoulders
We can plant the seeds
We can make a change right now
For a better world
For a better place right now
With our arms wide open (Time For a Change)
For every drop in the ocean (Time For A Change)
Make a Resolution (Time For A Change)
We say
Tomorrow’s a new day
I’m here standing with you here standing with me
standing with the world on our shoulders
I’m here standing with you here standing with me
standing with the world on our shoulders
Every 17years a big batch of insects comes out of the ground in Eastern USA, noisy ugly feckers but supposedly harmless thankfully. Anyway somehow I’ve written this song to amuse myself about them. And seeing as though any song written about animals etc. is automatically a kids song, then I guess this is a kids song. A bit of craic anyways. Enjoy!
Today marks one full year of streaming every Saturday at 12 noon ET or “Live at 5” in Éire. That’s over 60 1hr+ long Live streams
It has been very important for me to have a weekly musical outlet to perform old and new versions of songs,
and try out different audio setups etc. I’ve really enjoyed them. But more importantly it’s kept Anne Marie and I connected with
friends and family over this past year. So Thank You! for being with me whenever you could make it.
The format definitely suits me and so I’ll be continuing one way or another and I hope you’ll continue to join me!
Hello everybody, Well as some of know i got to perform from a wonderful venue recently. Here’s a video of a song of mine from the recent Cross Roads Céilí at The Ark. Michael Gavin and Rachel Pearson did a great job on this song and it was great to be involved in the event, thanks again to the Gavins. And great job by the team at The Ark – Ann Arbor The entire concert is still up on the Ark’s facebook page. Joe Giese and Cory did a wonderful job on the sound and video. During the rest of the concert Seán Gavin was awesome on the pipes and flute, Rachel and Michael sang songs, Mick played the fiddle and the box and there were some lovely moments.
