IN HOPE OUR STARS ALIGN

I think of the twelve songs on IN HOPE OUR STARS ALIGN as a collection of love letters and protest songs which are layered with hope and an intentional sense of positivity. They cover personal reflections on family and friendship, love, home, Dublin, ill-health, resilience, music and creativity, and address some of the social and political crises that we are living through in these troubled times. The album title is taken from my song "Fire Drill" and is inspired by Seamus Heaney’s lines “hope and history rhyme” and “hope for a great sea-change” from "The Cure At Troy”.
