Fearless fiddler & bilingual singer-songwriter Clare Sands and long time friend, musician & composer BRÍDÍN have joined forces to create a rockin’ raucous anthem to raise the spirits. They embarked on a journey with Sligo Greats (W.B Yeats, Queen Maeve, Michael Coleman, Kevin Burke) along the shores of Enniscrone - inviting the ‘merry to sing, and the merry to dance.’ Over one week, the two forces of nature composed and recorded ‘Iontach Bheith Beo’ (Good to be Alive) whilst simultaneously converting a giant Boeing 747 plane for Brídín’s EP launch! Their new single is a driving, pulsating, celebration of life, for those who have gone before us, and those yet to come…….

LYRICS

The merry love to sing
The merry love to dance
The fiddler of Dooney
A Connaught man’s trance

Show me the way to go home
Along the shores of Enniscrone

Téimid go Knocknarea
Chun cuairt a thabhairt go
Queen Maeve
Mallacht Macha
Fianna Cráite

Show me the way to go home
Along the shores of enniscrone

Iontach Bheith beo....

It’s good to be alive
I will love you ‘till I die
Rock me to and fro
In Sligo

Léim isteach go daingean
Le ceol i mo chroí
I see a glint in Kevin
Burke’s eye
Ag éisteacht le Coleman’s
fiddle style

Show me the way to go home
Along the shores of Enniscrone

Iontach Bheith beo...The merry love to sing
The merry love to dance
The fiddler of Dooney
A Connaught man’s trance

Show me the way to go home
Along the shores of Enniscrone

Téimid go Knocknarea
Chun cuairt a thabhairt go
Queen Maeve
Mallacht Macha
Fianna Cráite

Show me the way to go home
Along the shores of enniscrone

Iontach Bheith beo....

It’s good to be alive
I will love you ‘till I die
Rock me to and fro
In Sligo

Léim isteach go daingean
Le ceol i mo chroí
I see a glint in Kevin
Burke’s eye
Ag éisteacht le Coleman’s
fiddle style

Show me the way to go home
Along the shores of Enniscrone

Iontach Bheith beo...
