John Creedon's show last night...

    I heard a brilliant folk song on John Creedon's show last night. Seemed to be a soldier or emigrant writing to his family. Addresses his father, then mother, then sister. I thought I caught the name of it, but it has deserted me. 'South' could have been in the title!

    Can anyone help me out? It was brilliant.

    Creedon is a gem. A cultural genius and a music super brain. Such a likeable character.

    I always thought that John Creedon did his show from cork and then was told no he did it from Dublin. It is done from cork though isn't it ?

    Ah but Cork is only 2.5 hours from Dublin now whichever way you go.

    Thank Christ for that. So it was John Creedon I saw on Patrick's street this week then.

    That is an excellent song to be fair - will be in Kilkelly shortly in the wild west...

    Has to be said also that enjoy listening to the Creedon show - he based in Cork and would suspect that the only time he would be in Dublin would be for the Farmers Xmas shopping day : )

    Sorry all...I completely forgot about this thread. Thanks for the replies.

    This was the song:



    I love it. It starts about 50 seconds in.

    The irony of how good quality new music is only found on RTE 1 shows such as John Creedon or Cathal Shannon and not on 2FM will never ever be lost on me :)

    Who is Cathal Shannon? I assume you mean Cathal Murray and not the late Cathal O' Shannon.
