About Me

Artists, musicians, performers and travellers who seek out new spaces for creation...They exist in areas between cultures...these spaces exist in places long forgotten by modern culture...they are true creative spaces...An Tairseach: a doorway, a threshold, a passageway, a place for creation, a place to meet, to pass through, a bridge..
