AN INTRODUCTION
A warm welcome to The Horse and Feather. Here is a very short synopsis of this little place and a little bit about (what I like to call) The Barfly Sessions. The Horse and Feather began it's life as a greenhouse built onto the back of our house but by the skilled hands of my father, it was transformed into a small bar that we named The Horse and Feather after learning they were the nicknames given to two of our Irish Grandfathers way back towards the start of the last century. A small way of remembering our heritage with a sprinkling of Irish Whiskey and a nod towards the Green, the White and the Gold. When the bar is OPEN, the music comes ON and I thought now would be a fine time to whittle down some of my favourite and most played tracks which I would like to share with you. Along the way, I'll try and add some context on why these particular songs have ingrained themselves somewhere betwixt my heart and my soul and why I repeatedly go back to them time after time after time. Musical therapy perhaps. New songs, old songs, happy songs (though not too many it must be said) sad songs and perhaps a little bit of inbetween. I've grouped songs together for nightly listens and I have collectively named these THE BARFLY SESSIONS. Each
session will house several of my favourite tracks. Until I run out of
song titles or musicians that I can relate to a pub or drinking etc etc, I'll name each
Barfly Session for my own amusement. I'm sad like that but it's OK right? I fully appreciate not all these songs will be for everyone but venture down this rabbit hole with me and I promise you we'll come through the other side. Life is a book of light AND dark after all my friends. Mucho Grazie. Sláinte.
