A Gardener Now

A beautiful piece of work, lads. Memorable and engrossing. Thank you.

"Peace comes like a passer by." Great work from everyone involved in this project. I am a Belfast child too. I miss my true home. The Cave Hill. We all blew in from somewhere else along the line. Belonging can be shared. The tunes tell our stories. But the beats move us on. Thank you.

[@CuChullainnRedBranch]

You've outdone yourself Myles O'Reilly.I have enjoyed many of the things that you have put together over the last few years but this video and its story and its images are so powerful. My bloodline is stained by the treachery of colonialism and the violence that comes with it. It does my heart good to see this. May healing come to us all.

I can only say in truthfulness the Lambeg drum brought uneasy discord which the Bodhran soothes until the two merges into one.

[@kolozsboronkay9783]

La pace tra i popoli è difficile da raggiuntere se non c'è qualche 'pazzo' che si muove controcorrente a cercare di capire le ragioni dell'altro, di avvicinarsi alla cultura dell'altro. Bellissimo e commovente questo cortometraggio!

Two good Men Well done 👍

[@dougtolley]

Being a gardener myself, I was drawn to this.... It is such a delicate, intimate and thought provoking film and your score was perfect. I learned a lot. Thank you Myles

[@siphonofficiallclan4181]

Brilliant music can build bridges I thought that was we'll put together and gave me a feeling of hope. Both great at what they do. From a bad Bodhrán player!

[@DarrenSangita]

Thanks for making and sharing such a beautiful film, touching on the nature of sound and the rhythms of peace that can pave a new direction of harmony between two cultures that are so near yet have been so far apart. A real treat to experience something of the meeting of these two fellows and their musical lives, an incredible insight and very moving film. The ambient soundtrack was a wonderful compliment and extremely well placed. Well done Myles.

[@niallmctaxi]

That was brilliant, we're not so different when you sit down and respect each other.

[@jillwerden4040]

Just purchased tickets for your show on 8/7 in Dun Laoghaire. Looking forward to it!

[@麥震雲]

Your film-making is just out of this world, Myles, as is the music of the people you feature. You capture the beauty and complexity of the soul of Ireland so wonderfully. Keep doing what you doing as few do it better!

[@beachdog67]

Hello from California. I've just stumbled over this wee gem quite unexpectedly today, the Winter Solstice of 2021, and you have filled my heart. My deepest thanks to all involved in putting this together and bringing it to the world. And my fervent hope for continued peace, healing, music, poetry, and love. We ALL need it.
