All The Ways You Wander :: John Spillane [Feat. Des Dillon]

See current films by Myles O'Reilly on / mylesoreilly
This is a real treat. I managed to escape the pale to visit the extraordinary medieval town of Clonmel for this next musical yarn, and a yarn it truly is. There I met with the legend @johnspillanemusic and a very humble and inspiring puppeteer by the name of Des Dillon. The beautiful characters which Des brings to life in this video are just the right amount of joy to serve as an affective antidote to all the noise out there. Enjoy (There may be tears). Your likes and shares mean a hell of a lot to me. They really do help beat the algorithms and get this post get out there. Thank you.
So grateful for my patrons over on / mylesoreilly for making this film possible. If you have enjoyed my films before, please consider helping me to help musicians be represented in this way, once a month. Sign up for the price of a bag of Tayto and I'l send you one musical journey per month, and gain access to my full catalogue.
If you love music I promise you'll never regret it. If you can't sign up for whatever reason that's absolutely grand sure, the films will always be published here eventually, and your likes and shares are hugely appreciated.

That was one of the loveliest, most touching things I think I've ever seen. Absolutely wonderful!

[@pnelson3socialmedia]

Saw Spillane before I knew who he was. Didn't fully appreciate what I was seeing. Quirky and so very Irish...great music.

[@TheCiaranR]

A wonderfully imagined marriage of three fine artists at the top of their respective artforms - song, puppetry, film. Poignant, striking. And inspirational.

[@eileencregg6754]

I absolutely love this couple is the grace and beauty of Ireland, God Bless you both and your lovely family... 👀💯💚🍀🇮🇪💚

[@shaneomahony9673]

The level of creativity in this video is off the scale,Johns voice and guitar along with the puppeteers story and presentation just take us to a perfect peaceful place, Thank you Myles for another work of art👏👏👏

[@Ekagrasinghal]

💕💕 PUCCHHEE

[@johnkavanagh7727]

That song and puppets got me thinking about me and my wife. Thay song kept me "fighting" with my minds way of thinking(not with my physical ways). That against what had occurred. That video sometimes in its puppets got me in tears, but it kept me going forward.

[@aachucko]

What a beautiful performance. Thank you for sharing this and taking me on a journey with an old man and a mermaid. "Through the far away houses, for the sunsets on fire; searching for the island of your heart's desire."

[@BarnabasTheMonkey]

Utterly beautiful and uplifting 😊

[@davidbrady9073]

Tis a lost art is the puppeteer expression.. . Beautifully done with such a magical song.. loved the camerawork, the photographer was in it as much as the other artists..

[@bclassyb1]

Can't stop playing this beautiful video. The gorgeous song is so touching. The combination of music and the puppets and the background is magical. My 3yr old loves it too. Thank you for sharing it with us

Such a beautiful presentation of song and acting, such a brilliant way to tell the story. Thank you, John, and your assistants.

[@sammiefrost]

Watching this beautiful show and listening to John as he sings along has taken me to places of my own hearts desire. Where can I find the magic fairy dust that was sprinkled on this beautiful moment and place in time? Perfection and simplicity yet so profoundly endearing.

[@garygackstatter7476]

The tune sounds almost exactly like "Sitting" by Cat Stevens, same melody. That being said, this song and video are just magic. Just wonderful!! Do you know of anything else along these lines? Please post if so. (I can't stop watching this!)

[@martinagoggin6802]

So beautiful and pure magic, and we need magic badly in these strange times.

[@andrewkincaid8511]

Oh, my oh my, how moving and completing absorbing. Thank you!

[@saram4271]

More wonderful than I can ever express.

[@AL-uj3cm]

Brilliant, very artistic, original and not the typical portrayal of Irish artists in the 'diddly idle' sense.

[@myles.o.reilly]

You'll be pleasantly surpirsed by all the acts I've filmed and posted here to my channel for the last 12 years. Absolutely no shortage of deeply original and inspiring artists in this country.

[@AL-uj3cm]

@@myles.o.reilly fair play, you're certainly doing them great justice

[@tomconnolly7420]

[@rogerfindlay6836]

Wow! What a complete performance. Thankyou. R.

[@otheronlywindows1739]

This has been a day of such sadness ... yet this - I don't know if it lessens or adds weight to the load but I know it is so very important to see. Thank you for making this. Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

[@otheronlywindows1739]

I was asked by a friend if the tune was a traditional folk song, or was it written by John or was it written by Cat Stephens. Any idea which of the three or some other is the case?

[@thumbtack40]

Wonder who filmed it, a great piece from everyone involved 🎥thanks for sharing,

[@martinadelaney221]

Two beautiful souls. 🙂

[@sarahthornton5230]
