Former Revelino guitarist Bren Berry has debuted the video for his debut solo single - and it's a homage to his beloved area of The Liberties in Dublin.
Berry worked with local production house SoFFt Productions on the promo for his new track Winter Song and transformed music venue Vicar Street into a homage to The Liberties and surrounding streets.
Speaking about writing his first foray into solo work, Berry, who works in Vicar Street, said, "Winter Song felt like a particularly big breakthrough for me and a key moment to finding my voice. I had recorded a little chiming tribute to The Velvet Underground on my phone during lockdown called I.V.U.
"I sat down with it one-night last year when I was struggling with some health issues, and it just quickly blossomed into a very tender love song for my wife and a love letter to Dublin's Liberties especially The Iveagh Buildings where my Mother was from.
"I had so many amazing times there when I was younger, and this connection adds resonance to my relationship with Vicar St in The Liberties where I have spent the last 25 years working behind the curtain in with so many incredible artists and crew.
"My friends at SoFFT Productions have made a beautiful, evocative video which really captures the personal poignancy of the song for me."
Co-director Caroline Duke added, "We were thrilled to work with the legendary Bren Berry, an amazingly accomplished artist and friend.
"Winter Song is an incredible tribute to the iconic setting of Dublin 8. We are excited for everyone to see this beautiful and moving song brought to life - the personal connection between the artist and the city is clearly evident with his emotive lyrics and soothing vocals. A beautiful tribute to The Liberties."
