Paddy McCormack was a music
teacher for many years and the founder
of the McCormack singers. This group performs two songs on this
C.D.
The first songs "Tis of Limerick We Sing" has the title
of the C.D.
This song describes the theme of our C.D. in the best possible
manner.
The second which is the Gaelic language will be remembered
by many of the older people of Limerick, it is called"Slan
le maigh".
The McCormack singers also
provide the backing for Joe Niland with his
rendition of "There is a Isle". This song is sung by
the Shannon Rugby Cluband
it is reputed that a Scottish nun who was based in St. Mary's
parishcomposed
the song. While the song was originally a reference to her
nativehome, the people
of the parish started to sing the song as an anthem for thearea
which is an
island within Limerick city.
