Hi, My sister Aisling got married on the 18th of August 2012 in Donnycarney Church, Dublin. Last Saturday in other words. It was a brilliant and joyous occasion. Her new husband David Moloney is a lovely man. I know that Aisling and David will be very happy together. My mother Geraldine gave a short speech at the wedding dinner, held in the Grand Hotel Malahide. Luckily I was on hand, at a table nearby, to record Geraldine's words for posterity.

Hi, I'm posting here another piece of footage centered around one of my all time favourite waterways, viz, the River Liffey in my hometown of Dublin, Ireland. As a matter of interest, in his gargantuan novel Finnegans Wake, James Joyce refers to the Liffey as Anna Livia Plurabelle, but I think I'll just stick with plain old Liffey for the purposes of this post. Besides, I ain't no James Joyce. Anyway, it was on another sunny afternoon (I think that's a song lyric from the nineties) and I found myself upon Capel Street Bridge a.k.a Grattan Bridge for the umpteenth time in my life. Liking what I saw of the river in the clemency of the day, I whipped out my iPhone and filmed away at the scene for thirty seconds or so. The music I've added to the piece is Man on the River by Bryan Ingram. Here is the link to my latest video creation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVOb2l0wvI0&feature=plcp Whilst maintaining my code of utmost humility, I must say in all f...

Hi, The picture above was taken on the morning of July 7th,  2012 with my iPhone 4 camera. If I may say so - in all humility of course! - I think it's rather bloody good. I was cycling back from the Phoenix Park where I had gone to get a pleasant morning's exercise - if exercise is ever meant to be pleasant! The day was clement after a night of extremely heavy rain. Cycling by the canal over the bridge at Castleknock train station, I glimpsed the delightful idyll before my eyes and simply had to get off my bike and shoot the scene. I'm sure glad I did. Please enjoy. Humble to the core of my being, Brian

Hello, The flower above is ablaze in my garden, praise be to Jah! Myself and Aisling were out in it the other night, too, when we espied an arachnid weaving its intricate web by the clothesline. Being an avid recorder of interesting things in this world (well, I think they're interesting), I began filming the little fellow and his thin home with my iPhone. On the piece, there's a nice exchange to be heard betwixt myself and herself in which we comment upon the sheer wondrousness of it all. Sadly, there's also a rather lame attempt at wit on my part towards the one-minute mark in which I draw a tenuous link to the new Spider-Man film. Apologies for that, but I've no doubt you will enjoy the rest of the short film. Here she goes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x8w9pfH1pI With deep humility, Brian

Greetings, More filming whilst riding the cycle paths in the beautiful Phoenix Park. Thanks to YouTube's editing tool, it all looks wonderfully steady. Was also able to add The Waterboys' song "On My Way to Heaven" which was available from YouTube's catalogue. If I do say so myself, the overall effect is decidedly cool. Watch out for the piece at the end, as I careen towards the Castleknock Gate, you'll see a sign saying the park is celebrating 350 years in existence! Here's to the next 350:-) Enjoy the video, the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vt04SV4EQQ Yours, humbly, Brian

Hello, I was lucky enough to attend this beautiful rehearsal recently in the historic Saint Werburgh's Church, Dublin. It was a warm summer's evening in late May and the soprano Sarah Power was warming up with The Merry Widow by Franz Lehár. I sat at the back and filmed. I've posted the link here. Please take a moment from your busy day to have a listen. I think you'll find it sublime.

Hi, With such glorious sunshine in Dublin today, I went down to the Phoenix Park on my bike and filmed some footage. It's rather nice if I say so myself. Do please enjoy. Humbly, B:-) Said footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTL0lhcNZ7Y PS Managed to use a Ticket to Ride version from YouTube's 150,000+ tracks. Works nicely.
