Emma Langford: 'My grand-uncle was a great listener and a compassionate soul. You could bring your troubles to him'

Emma Langford, born on November 3, 1989, shares nostalgic memories of her childhood while paying tribute to her late grand-uncle. She fondly recalls simple joys like playing in the sandbox, enjoying honey on toast, and the warmth of family interactions, such as playing in the swimming pool with her father and embracing her mother after walks. These memories illustrate the deep emotional connection to her past and highlight how they influence her artistic expression in her music.

"I was a baba, but I remember playing in the sandbox in Naíonra, and the taste of honey on toast for breakfast or banana sandwiches for lunch," says singer-songwriter Emma Langford.

"And when playing with my dad in the swimming pool, he'd use his hands to vault me up in the air so I could backflip into the water."

"I remember cuddling my mom when she'd come back from a walk, her skin would smell different after the cold fresh air."
