A bucolic scene

When Ireland went into coronavirus lockdown in March 2020, musician Patrick Dexter began posting online videos of himself playing the cello. Since then, the open-air recitals, shot outside his picturesque cottage in Mayo on the rural west coast, have been viewed millions of times. Here’s a video of Patrick interviewed on CNN by Christiane Amanpour a few days ago, and performing On Raglan Road. And here’s a previous short interview on BBC. Enjoy!
Thanks so much for posting that, good lord is that just exactly what we didn't know we needed here on a Sunday morning - so what for an hour or two diversion and now we'll just let it play while we make brunch, perfect.

On Raglan Road is one of my favorite tunes/poems. His rendition as a cello solo is lovely and moving, his singing is nearly as good. Thanks for the grand link.
