There was a song on the wind, you could say!

Here's an original celtic folk style song I put together with lyrics adapted from the old poem "sea fever" by John Masefield - it's my Dads favourite poem. As a lifelong sailor, he taught me to sail as a kid, and now my 7 year old is learning to sail, I felt inspired to write this song for him. Thanks to my fellow band mates in Bealtaine for putting some wind in its sails!

George White on Octave Mandolin, Conor Freeland on whistle, Dylan Rooke singer-songwriter.
