This year I’ve had the opportunity to play in several new locations, one of which being Ireland.  While there I was able to visit several beautiful and unique places.  One of those places was Belfast Castle in Belfast.  The castle used to be a private home and has now been converted into a space that is used for weddings and events.  It’s situated high on a hill overlooking Belfast and the ocean.  I was there to play the Belfast Nashville Songwriter Festival and during our free day is when I ventured out to the castle.  It’s so inspiring to see historic places and imagine the lives of the people who lived there, it always get my writer wheels turning!
