  1. Blows the wind to-day, and the sun and the rain are flying,
    Blows the wind on the moors to-day and now,
    Where about the graves of the martyrs the whaups are crying,
    My heart remembers how!

    —Robert Louis Stevenson, “To S. R. Crockett (In Reply to a Dedication)”

  2. You see that I will have to rise
    And turn round and get back where
    My running age will slow for a moment
    To let me on. It is a colder
    Stretch of water than I remember.

    The curlew’s cry travelling still
    Kills me fairly…

    —WS Graham, “Loch Thom”

    "The warbling call of the #curlew has returned to #TrasnaIsland in Lower #LoughErne. Conservationists are celebrating the first successful breeding #birds on the island in living memory... they worked to restore habitat to support the return of vulnerable species including the curlew, along with the #lapwing, #snipe and #redshank."

  4. New #review today: "Even if you’re familiar with Live in Berlin, the highly improvisational nature of #Curlew’s music ensures that this album will have something new for you. This is a very original sound that blends rock and jazz in a distinctive way. Catchy rhythms coalesce into a kind of warped funk..." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #AvantJazz #AvantGarde #AvantProgressive expose.org/index.php/articles/
