about

Aaron wrote the first tune at the request of Jeremy Boyle. The writing was going nowhere until he received this poem from Jeremy. 

Ancestors
The limbs that move, the eyes that see, these are not entirely me;
Dead men and women helped to shape, the mold that I do not escape;
The words I speak, the written line, these are not uniquely mine.
For in my heart and in my will, old ancestors are warring still:
Celt, Roman, Saxon, and all the dead, from whose rich blood my veins are fed;
In aspect, gesture, voices, tone, flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone;
In fields they tilled, I plow the sod, I walk the mountain paths they trod;
Around my daily steps arise- the good, the bad- those I comprise.

Richard Rolle c.1300-1349. (Early English Mystic)

The second air he wrote for his wife, Lesa (of "Aaron and Lesa" fame- see the 'Hammered" album) "Fionnlagh's First Foray" recalls the first games attended by his son, Finn and the last tune was written for another member of the band. Hmmm...
