"Tis of Limerick We Sing"

Composers and Singers:

Over the years many songs and poems have been written about Limerick city and County. Many of these verses give us great insight into the history, cultural and sporting life of our ancestors. However it is unfortunate that we have failed to remember the composers of there great songs. This C.D./Cassette is an attempt to save these songs on a permanent record and also to tell the story of Limerick through the voices of our Balladeers.
