Time to get your on!

Absolutely chuffed to see "Sunday's Child" making its way out there, and to one of a favourite festival of ours .

It means so much to us to get to have our work screened up on the big screen and equally online to a wonderful audience. Another raised glass to a wonderful collaboration with Paddy Mulcahy.

Our hearts may be made up of 2 parts Clare to 1 part Limerick at Apate; but our soul is most definitely Limerick, as is "Sunday's Child".

Much Love 💕🎬
Dave, Phil and Paul.

Sunday's Child is finally here! Go soak up the Mulcahy and Limerick train, you won't be disappointed!

Delighted to be able to collaborate with the imitable Paddy Mulcahy on his latest album, and more so to bring visuals to his aural landscapes (which by themselves paint an amazing picture).

It's an animation that took a lot of blood sweat tears, and probably a bit more sweat on top, from both Phil and Paul, who crafted a world with the help from the extraordinary "Kid" Thomas Marsh and additional help from Colin Craker.

It's loaded with little things throughout; we'll give you a big green and white medal if you chase down at least 60% of those easter eggs!

Go watch, we'd love to hear your thoughts!

Much love,
Dave, Phil and Paul 😘😘🥰

Failing that, there's always brussel sprouts, cheap jokes, boardgames and/or family confrontations over the tv guide.
