This is an acoustic storytale number all about checking out a little old place in Donegal in Ireland. The place is Buncrana and I played a fun gig there.

Slipstream
Slipstream Track number: 2 Year: 2018 Album: Gold Town Genre: Acoustic
Another track from the 2018 'Gold Town' album. The song 'Slipstream' is all about finding a bit of peace and solace. Another 'off the beaten track' kind of song.
