It’s lovely to be back making so much music and I hope you’ll be able to join me for some of these concerts. I’m particularly looking forward to the concert at the Seamus Heaney Homeplace, as I will be performing on a guitar originally owned by Sean Shibe, kindly on loan to me by Brian and Linda O’Shea Farren. I’ve been practising in my matching boots…
