MAN of ARAN - out today

“Man of Aran” is released today.
It comes with a DVD & CD.

Put the telly on, turn the lights off, crack open the Poteen and enjoy the waking dream.

On a related note, i’ve just started reading the first part of The Aran Islands Triolgy by Martin Mcdonagh. It’s a very funny, dark comedy, with the filming of “Man of Aran” as it’s backdrop.
One of the characters in the play calls the film “a pile of fecking shite”.
But, that was then, and this is now.
Some 21st century reviews just in…..

“Brooding, haunting, often ravishingly beautiful” – The Scotsman

“Image and sound spiral and intertwine majestically, merging like mating seahorses” – Word Magazine

“Beautiful” – Independent

“This isn’t an album you can dip into; instead dive in and sink to the bottom and let it gloriously wash all over you” – NME
