I was playing at a club yesterday that had quite a few Irish people there, and a lady came up to me and asked me to do some 'Cork' songs.
I have never heard of the expression before, what classes a song as a 'Cork' song. Is it the same as doing 'Knees up Mother Brown' and calling it a 'London' song.

Hi Ian I can only presume she meant to sing some songs from Cork City/County ...one that springs to mind and prob the most famous is The Banks Of My Own Lovely Lee and Skibereen is another one I'm not really familiar with any others but I'm sure there are lots more not so famous ones my mam hails from Cork and that's the only one she knows of......lol Rgds Barry  |

Hi Ian I'd certainly say that's what she meant, I think having seen your show, it would not really be your thing,maybe Galway Girl, if you play in Irish Clubs they expect you to have a song from every county, I'm still working on it! It's like having a Liverpool song(walk on), Essex Song(Ollie Murs) normally they mention the counties in the lyrics, we don't have many like that, Durham Town....... a frind of mine always says Gypsy Woman is a Basildon song  |
