"Commissioned to make some pieces for Radio Art Zone, I took the opportunity to return to the rich and idiosyncratic voice of Irish story teller and farmer Willie Carr, who I'd first met at the epochal Hearsay Festival in Kilfinane, Ireland, in 2014. To my mind, his is the voice of a singular locale, the embodiment of a landscape, a particular place and time, imaginatively recast in these four lop-sided contemporary fairy tales" - Ed Baxter

Originally commissioned by Hearsay International Audio Festival, revised versions made for Radio Art Zone as part of Esch2022 European Capital of Culture. Thanks to Knut, Sarah, Mathilde and Necef at RAZ; to Daniela Gargiulo; and, for their encouragement, Kersten Glandien, Anthony Moore, Milo Thesiger-Meacham and Jim Whelton. Special thanks to Diarmuid and Willie, of course.
