about

The Corner Stone is a song I wrote about a local landmark in my hometown Killyleagh Co. Down Northern Ireland. It sits half in and half out of the wall on the corner of The Central Bar. Many many people have sat on or stood beside this stone over hundreds of years. This song is dedicated to all the lost souls and characters who, like myself, struggled with their trauma and addictions in life but found comfort in the stone while waiting on the bar to open to ease their suffering. The names I mention are real people and the things I mention really happened. These people were the life and soul of any session but im sure suffered behind closed doors. This is for them so they can be remembered and I'm sure and have been told by people in surrounding towns that the song will stir memories of characters in other towns everywhere. While filming a documentary about the People of Killyleagh and Shrigley by folk legend @Tommy Sands he told me people make places and that my music gives a voice to the voiceless.
