You meet someone. You fall for one another. Then they say, “Let’s buy a boat and sail the world”. You’ve never even set foot on a sailboat let alone thought about sailing the world on one.
Do you give up your daily routine and home comforts for a life of spending weeks at a time completely cut off from the outside world. Just you, new love, the vast ocean and endless possibility.
Do you stay or sail?
The Wind is Free is the brand new single from Conor Ward inspired by this true story of love and adventure.
Conor is a musician from the West of Ireland who has been making waves in the Irish music scene since the release of his debut EP ‘Wanderlust’.
Described by Hot Press as one of Ireland’s Rising Acts, his tracks have earned airplay on the likes of Today FM, 4FM, Newstalk, Spin SouthWest, Red FM and iRadio.
Growing up in Mayo, Conor harboured ambitions of playing his songs all over the world and has gone on to play to audiences in Dubai, Bolivia, Peru, Australia and Vietnam.
