From "The Arboreal Observatory" album - a lathe cut LP on Humbug. This improvisation took place on 28th August 2005 in Dolans in Limerick. I was just 18 years old and had met United Bible Studies for the first time the previous night in Cork, where my band Eachtra had played support to them in Cyprus Avenue. Within a few hours of meeting them, they had cajoled me into coming on tour and playing violin with them, Josephine Foster and Mi & L'au the following day. If memory serves me right, the line-up was as follows: Gavin Prior, David Colohan, Áine O' Dwyer, Seán Mac Erlaine, Bryan O'Connell, Ivan Pawle and myself.
