about

This unmastered track, and the forthcoming album, were written and recorded over the last year at the Granny It's OK to Experiment Studio in Winterport Waterford. During the making of the album John Haggis became quite ill and has since learned he can no longer play music live. Making this album became almost like a music therapy of sorts, with people floating in to lend a hand. Hence the name, Band of Clouds.

lyrics

'The Great Silence of Snow', sample from Julie lomax.
lyrics by WB Yeats and Kathi Appelt from the book 'The Underneath' (Its hidden away in the 9 to 13 section but its a stunningly beautiful book.
