The feature film I have made about a creative band, ‘The Frames In The Deep Shade’, is out now on DVD. It was No.4 in the Irish charts in the first week of release so it has been a proud moment. It all began as the simplest most informal chat after a Swell Season gig in 2010 about making an art film…. I’m sure there are a few questions to answer. Why did it take so long?

2018 Note - I’ve added some unreleased artwork to this post when I was fixing a few bugs on the site including a lush poster by Nick Jeeves that was developed early on in the design process

Simon Good and Karl Odlum of The Mary Janes playing a Mary Janes classic ‘Friends’, with The Frames in 2011.

I have just returned from filming The Frames near the site of the Santa Maria wreck in Ventry Co.Kerry. I shot this on my iphone at dusk as I was climbing the rocks and leaving the cove and just before complete darkness. It was a tricky exit and this film belies the depth of the shadows, those rocks were very slippery!
