A few words about the video from Diarmuid Lyng who features alongside Rónán in the video.

"I've long admired the work of Myles O’Reilly and Rónán Ó Snodaigh, both individually and collectively. Their first album was my go-to soundtrack for the lockdown. To get the opportunity to work with them was a gift. Particularly because the invite was 'come as yourself, no acting, no staging of shots—just be as you'd be.' It's a rare invite when someone is shooting; it summons a grace that extends beyond the people and their stories. Myself and Ro were free to do as we generally do when we spend time together. We discussed through movement the ways in which music and hurling are similar, what separates us, and what brings us back together. For me, it was a chance to bridge the divide that can be present between the creative and the structured, both in myself and in the game in general. Hurling is a fundamentally creative process, but as we continue down the path laid out by statisticians and sports psychologists, it's hard not to think that some outlet for our young men, in particular, is being lost—individual creativity suffering function and outcome. At the same time, it's a celebration of what the game is: a tonic, a community, our way of making sense of the fine line between battle and play—our game, played our way. Rò has been playing with the Katas of hurling from a young age, and we've been working on the footwork and movement native to the game to bring them to life. This is something we do when we get together without a specific aim in mind, but then along comes Myles with his camera, and the exploration finds a worthy outlet." - Diarmuid Lyng




Calling All Angels


I had an argument with my angel

I turned and told him where to go

So sorry when he left 

But i didn't want to let that show

Maybe he got tired of looking out for me a long time ago

And i just gave him an excuse to leave

But he's welcome home


I want to talk to my angel

'Tell him that is ok now

Those troubles are over and done with

And he can come back down

Tell me his side of the story

And how's about it working out

'Cause the truth is ; i'm missing his company

In around the house 


Calling all angels

Does anyone know where's mine gone


'Getting worried about me angel

I hope that nothing's going wrong

You'ld think that he'd call me if there's anything up

But he's always been so headstrong

Everytime i get to be doing anything 

I want him to come along

''Cause it turns out he's still me angel

Together is where we belong


I've met a lot of lovely angels 

Filling up the world with light

'Good to know there's so many of them out there

'It makes me think the future's bright

When i was thinking of becoming one myself 

If they'ld let me back by his side

Just to get the chance to get to lend a hand

Make sure that he gets home alright
