Sleeve Notes

Prior To Recording Graffiti Tongue, I did pre-production work with Nigel Rolfe on Innis Maan, at Passage East, in Monkstown and Inchicore. When I heard a melody at the back of Innis Maan, where the. Mighty boulders fly, Nigel Helped me take it back to the house of Seán and Maire O'Flaherty. He single-handedly retrieved "Minds Locked Shut" When I flung it over the cliff at passage. We locked horns between The Yellow And The Pink Triangles and unearthed God Woman in the Bog of Allen. Most of all he understood and encouraged the work.
