There are so many people and organisations that contributed to the making of this album in so many ways and I’d like to thank them all here. Firstly the creation of the album was funded by The Arts Council. A number of arts institutions supported the creation of this album in many ways, from facilitating workshops with children for me to test out songs, to offering rehearsal space free of charge. These organisations are invaluable to the arts in Ireland and I’d like to sincerely thank them for their show of confidence in the work that I do:

The National Concert Hall, The Improvised Music Company, The Ark cultural centre for children, The Ark’s Children’s Council, Dublin Central Library and NEIC.

I’d also like to thank the incredibly skilled and talented musicians who performed on the album :

The core band is Séan Carpio, Mathew Halpin, Izumi Kimura and Neil Ó Loċlainn. Along with special guest performances from Niwel Tsumbu, Emilie Conway, and Farah Elle.

You will hear the voices of many children on the album and I’d like to thank them all. There are also many children who you do not hear on the album but who contributed none the less by sharing their insights, opinions and and ideas with me. I won’t list the names of the children here because I’d like to protect their privacy.

I’d like to thank the engineers who worked on this album with me : David McCune (full band recordings in studio, Alex Borwick (mix engineer) and Karl Odlum (mastering engineer).

There are many voices heard throughout the album including Timmy Creedy, Muhammad Achour, Joanna Whitty and many more.

Lastly I’d like to thank you, the listener, for being curious and taking the time to listen. I hope you enjoy it!
