Anyone know of any artists who are inspired by the Liffey river? or have lyrics mentioning the river?

It's for a college CD rom project.

So far we've found 'Tommy Potts' 'The Liffey Banks' fiddle music

Cheers.

As far as I know, one or 2 Damien Dempsey songs mention the Liffey. Couldn't tell you which ones though, sorry!

Summer in Dublin by Bagatelle has the famous line "I remember that summer in Dublin and the Liffey as it stank like hell"
