The making of this CD developed during the Limerick Year of Culture 2014 which has been a great success and wanting to make some small contribution, I recorded some popular songs of Limerick, the most popular of all being LIMERICK YOU’RE A LADY, written by Denis Allen. We also recorded THERE IS AN ISLE the popular anthem of the island parish of St. Mary’s, and finally a song of an emigrant wishing he were home …WHERE THE SHANNON RIVER MEETS THE SEA.
