I wrote this tune before going to have a few tunes in Jimmy Campbell’s house. It is there I played it properly for the first time and came up with the name. We had many nights of music and laughter there.
Jimmy Campbell and Fiona Gavin
This tune simply got its title as it presented itself to me fully formed. It was recorded by the band Fidil on their 2019 recording, Decade, and they kindly allowed us to include the track here.
The singing snail got it’s title from a collage on a wall upstairs in a teaching room in Custy’s Music Shop in Ennis, Co. Clare. Aisling McInerney was a student at the time and we got great fun putting a sticker of a leaf on a sticker of a snail. It looked like it had huge lips and we wondered if snails could sing?
