WHY DO WE STILL DO THIS? Two gigs don't sound like a tour.

Until you're carrying your own instruments onto buses and ferries, organising everything yourself, rehearsing, setting up, playing, packing down — and doing it all again.

Dirk is back in Berlin. I'm back in the studio. And now that the noise has settled, one question remains:

Why do we still do this?

In ArTEEtude 349, Sophia and I reflect on Cape Clear, Ballydehob, getting older, getting tired — and still wanting to go out there.

New ARTEETUDE — Episode 348
This week Dirk Schlömer and I look back at our WAW adventure: Cape Clear, our gig at the Oasis Art Café, new songs, Thomas Wiegand’s extraordinary Magic Forest and sharing the stage with Go Like This
It became much more than two concerts. It was a little journey through what makes West Cork special: people, landscape, creativity, improvisation and community.
