As we all celebrate Halloween this year, it’s a good time to mention the Celtic festival of Samhain, which is the root of the holiday we all know today.
Samhain marks the end of harvest and the beginning of winter, and where the line between worlds thins 🧡🖤 🎃

One of the best articulations of our story and how Fontaines D.C. were inspired to write the first song ‘In ár gcroíthe go deo’ on their album Skinty Fia.

Sad news this morning hearing the passing of Pope Francis, the first Latin American Pontiff aged 88 years. His was a story to be heard and made sure we heard the story of the poor and immigrants.

This will be our 7th Mothers Day without mum and this week we found the most precious video of her singing, filmed over 30 years ago.
Margaret sings ‘A mother’s love is a blessing’, a sign maybe, definitely a precious find to let us know she is always with us.
Happy Mother’s Day to all mums 💚

We are working on our 1st project as a new company,re-telling our own story, we are excited by new approaches to work together.
Particularly the possibility of working with an Irish language group to explore their work with families to 're-story' their own lives and recover their sense of agency
