  • Bio

    THE STORY OF HERONS! .... Once upon a time, there was a boy named Benjamin who really liked cassette-tape dictophones, Japanese wood-block prints, and cheapie Spanish guitars. He combined the first and last to make what are now known as "Songs." .... But he was lonely -- because it's lonely when you're only. Then, along came a girl called Anna! Benjamin saw Anna and heard Debussy in his head, thinking, "La fille aux cheveaux de lin!" .... Together, they grew herbs in windowboxes, cooked Greek food for friends, walked on roads with no pavement in Co. Wicklow, and formed Herons! .... The name Herons! (the exclamation mark is important) came from a moment when Benjamin saw these graceful, crane-like birds for the first time, on the River Dodder, felt how fragile and beautiful and worthwhile living could be, and decided to try to focus on that. .. .. ..MyGen.. ..Profile Generator.. ..
