CD to support the courageous people of the front line at the Hill of Tara,
"...to support the courageous people of the front line at the Hill of Tara, who - regardless of risks for their lives, health or civil rights - have been blocking the bulldozers for months now, which are digging up ancient ground, the ground of an official World Heritage Site, the ground that holds the first High Kings of Ireland..."

Tara: Voices from Our Past ~ a recent discovery
a short film by Mairéid Sullivan
"Over the past five years, there has been considerable controversy regarding construction of the M3 Motorway in County Meath, especially in light of the discoveries at Roestown, Lismullin and Soldier Hill. While those finds are extremely significant, they pale in comparison to a more recent discovery at Tara.
A short film by the award winning documentary filmmaker and musician Maireid Sullivan, which is based on the research paper "Orthostat, The Mound of the Hostages" shows that the complexity and importance of The Hill of Tara goes well beyond what we've known about the site for the past few millennia.
The Tara complex is a major part of the cultural heritage of the Irish people, yet it's being destroyed by those in the government who have been entrusted with protecting it. In stark contrast, governments of third world countries are going to great lengths to excavate, restore, preserve and protect their monuments, and prosecute those who injure or deface them."

I spend alot of my spare time biking and walking around Coquetdale, where i have lived for the last 15 years with my wife, Alison. We live near the Simonside hills, where Alison's family farm. I like to read local histories, and I have written some essays myself which have won prise's at The Morpeth Gathering. I like to photograph the sites I visit, and make home-made videos. I play guitar in a local folk/traditional group and perform at folk clubs and events in the valley. I also write tunes, many of which are inspired by the Northumbrian Landscape.
