Thank you. It's a place that still has the purity of eden. The ocean protects it from the wiles of Man. I'm happy you could ge touched by a film of it.
Love watching this with the family. The music fits so well with the beautifully framed and evocative images of Great Blasket. The whole piece is totally captivating and demands everything else stops and you take the time to be transported to a magical place on this Earth.
My Grandmother gave me 'Twenty Years A Growin' when I was about 18. I've been fascinated by the Great Blasket and it's people/history ever since. This song kills me!
Glad you liked! her voice is as sweet as anything, so clear and sweet. You might enjoy 'Faoiseamh a Gheobhadsa (I Will Find Solace)' by her too. It's a dream. Her name is Zoe Conway.
Wow, I loved it, the music, the images, the sensitivity and the feeling of peace that the film conveys. I would love to visit the place one day. thank you for sharing with us, Simon, ;)
Thank you so much David. I went over and met an American descendant of an Islander over there, about your age. He and I had a connection with the very same house, it is magical the way things happen sometimes. I now live facing these islands - I got a great home!
Hi Susan, yes, we made a couple of comedy sketches together. I was very, very sad when I learned he passed recently. We were very good friends. He was one of my favourite people, so sad to lose him of all people. Are you a friend of his, too?
@@elauadeinsf yes, I am. He lived with me and my family for some time. Did you make the video of Marc dancing on the hill? We have written a song about him and wondered if you would mind us using your video to accompany it?
@@susanfrisby3762 I made a video of Marc dancing near the beach at the north end of Iona, and he had a unicorn head on. I had forgotten about this. I may have recorded him on the hill but can't remember. It's likely, we did go up there a lot. I have quite a bit of film of him from Iona. It's in my old place in Italy at the moment and I am retrieving it end of January. I can then send you what I have in a film and you can download and edit it. You can also use what you already have if you want to. Yes, you have permission. I could also make a film for you with the song, if you find it difficult to edit, I've edited a lot of films and have the software. Whatever you decide please do share with me the song! I have written a story about him myself and may well put it to film, in time. Marc was an amazing man. I really loved him to bits.
A gorgeous blend of music and scenery captured by an artist!
Ah, you are so nice!
Uplifting. The clouds took my breath away. Thank you for sharing your work.

Hi Simon, did you make a video of Marc Broatch-Stevens on Iona by any chance?
Hi Susan, yes, we made a couple of comedy sketches together. I was very, very sad when I learned he passed recently. We were very good friends. He was one of my favourite people, so sad to lose him of all people. Are you a friend of his, too?
