I am also very grateful to my family:

Ciarán, Tullow, for his photography.
Eoin, Tullow and Vancouver, Canada, for graphic design tips and valuable feedback.
Simon, Tullow and Bali, for his feedback and opinion.

My wife, Ann, for her help throughout this album. We spent many hours together listening to each track from mixing to mastering until we were happy with the finished album. Ann spent many hours designing the website and booklet and I am very grateful for her support and encouragement over many years.

And of course, our ol' dog, Millie. She goes everywhere with me and is well-known around Tullow as she brings me for a walk every morning.
