Hannah Peel’s Mercury-nominated Fir Wave, her Dancing at Lughnasa soundtrack, her Game of Thrones score – all are illuminated by a longing that folds into how she feels about Ireland
What I love about Bangor is that my house can see the lough. You can see the ferries coming in and out and the planes coming in and out. It’s a lovely transitional place, which has subconsciously been echoed in the musicPeel made the return journey in 2017, swapping the noise and chaos of London for the coastal calm of Bangor, Co Down, with its views over Belfast Lough. That shift has impacted her life – she has a five-bedroom house now, as opposed to a cramped flat in London – and her music.
The inability to perform live did not get in the way of Fir Wave becoming a phenomenon. Critics were ecstatic about the project, which takes its name from a photograph Peel stumbled upon, in National Geographic magazine, of conifers on a mountainside, undulating like a sine wave. “It’s remarkably easy to feel like you’re in a flying dream, high above broad and strange vistas,” went a review on British website the Arts Desk. “Gorgeous, fizzing,” agreed the Guardian.

Studying at Liverpool’s Institute for Performing Arts, she was asked to write a theme for a graduation ceremony – for which she was congratulated by the Institute’s co-founder, Paul McCartney, who told her, “I like your music. Well done!” Later, the makers of Game of Thrones hired her to compose the soundtrack for a behind-the-scenes documentary, Game Of Thrones: The Last Watch. She was rewarded with an Emmy nomination.
