Recorded for “Mutiny in the County” a solo album made in 2003. The lyrics were published in the 1993 edition of the wonderful Seanchas Duthalla Magazine in an article written by one James Chisman. It is a mighty song and many versions of it, even one in the Irish language, are known. continue reading…

The Corkman published a review of all the happenings in Kilcorney in 2009, referring to it as “the year when the world we knew fell apart”. Below is a sniplet, but the full article is available to read
—————
2009 was the year that the world that we knew fell apart. Unemployment figures went through the roof, many people learned the sad fact that there is no such thing as free money, the banks came a begging looking for our money to bail them out.
The weather matched the mood of the year with rain, wind, snow and ice and no sunshine.
January saw the AGM of Kilcorney Bowling Club which was held at Caroline’s Bar, for them the highlight of 2008 was the hosting of the European Dutch Moore Championships in Rathcoole.
Kilcorney Communtiy Gym reopened after the Christmas break giving people a much needed reason to loose a few extra pounds. Kilcorney Social Centre was also a hive of activity with set dancing, Tuesday club and baby and toddler group back in action.

"Birds of Ice", by the edge of the river at Kilcorney Heights
The art of nature … at first glance the ice looks like doves beside the river, and then you wonder how did that form?
Natures art comes at a price though. The freeze is still with us but it is not as cold as it has been in previous nights. Rain/sleet fell early yesterday morning and froze solid, covering everything in half an inch of solid ice. Everything ground to a halt and early morning commuters were left with treacherous road conditions with many of them turning around and staying at home for the day. While in town all day, walkers were better off walking on the roads because the footpaths had not been salted and were just plain dangerous.
The picture taken by Nellie Healy appeared on the Irish Independent website in a gallery entitled The Big Freeze
The Windmills are still being delivered to the Boggeragh Windfarm (as of the start of December). These foggy early morning videos from the bottom of Tullig and from up in the windfarm give an idea of what’s still going on without us realising.
