For the best part of four years I had worked in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
So, in 1991 I wanted to spend as much time in Ireland as possible. In January and
February I visited Spanish Point in County Clare and wrote songs in Johnny Burke's
cottage and the People's Hostel. I cycled in Kerry and wrote
"The Acoustic Motorbike".
Dublin is hopping in 1991. Tucked away in Temple Bar, Dublin, Paul Barrett is producing
great music in S.T.S. Studios, above Claddagh Records. The constant presence of bands
writing and rehearsing in Temple Bar "Village" provided the perfect setting to
get stuck in. With Paul, Meabh, Louise and Sean at S.T.S. keeping an eye on me, I sang
away to my heart's content. Various Irish friends joined in with two American friends (Bob
and Ed) and we had a great time.
Gary Murphy watched quietly over us in the studio. Fiona Belton's great food filled and
thrilled us. Let me also thank Poll Moussilides, who taught me how to breathe. Muddy Fox
provided the Acoustic Motorbike. Sandycove Cycles maintain it. The list of people helping
these wheels turn is literally endless.
God Bless you all. Pedal On.
Love,
Luka
