Tipperary Song for Peace Competition

I played in the Song for Peace competition in Tipperary at The Simon Ryan Theatre, Excel Centre Tipperary. and we came a close second… but won the best Irish song.  Norman Pratt wrote the song and John Daly, Caroline Fraher and myself performed it. Take a look!
