Cork man’s song an homage to Páirc Uí Chaoimh

A challenge posed by Cork hurling legend Tomás Mulcahy to come up with a Cork GAA song 'for the generations' was the inspiration behind a newly released single by Cork singer songwriter Myles Gaffney.

Páirc Ui Chaoimh Lives In Me is a song which tells the tale of how sporting traditions are passed down through generations and how the memories made can last forever.

The song is a collaboration with Belfast songwriter and native Ciara Mc Menamin of Born Here Studio.

Mr Gaffney said “When I heard Ciara's lyrics, I thought how I could adjust the words for my own beloved Cork and with the conversation with Tomás (Mulcahy) lingering in the back of mind.

“I put my idea of changing some lyrics and making a few tweaks here and there to Ciara. In her own words she said I have your back on this one. 

"The lyrics are simple but hit the listener right in the heart.” 

The song is now available on all good online platforms and also just in time for the big Munster Hurling Final this Sunday.
