Pat burst into the shop on 27th May, 2022, with a contented,joyful,sated look on his face carrying his son , Darach, on one arm with a small package under his other arm. Contained therein was a batch of his new, third solo release, Glaise.

The fiddle music is brimful of deep respectful magic, celebrating powerful memories in the past, of places embedded in his mind and people whom he adored. It's as if the music is the synapse through which he can establish some communication between the "waking world" and the "inner world of dreams".

Fiddle music of a different time.
