Who is the singer? What is the song?
Something along the lines of:
If only for a night in Bali Grand I'd swim over the deepest ocean But the sea is wide I can't get over I wish I was now in Kilkenny Black as ink I'll sing no more Till I'm a corpse
A most sincere thank you. Gargoyle |

The CD was titled "Irish Heartbeat" and is widely available. It is a wonderful version of a much performed song. All the best, Mick |

The male vocalist is a solo on a woman's album - deep baritone - there are no names or titles available.
Sincerely, |

I have roots in Carrickfergus, and am hoping to visit someday soon. |

This one was mildly amusing at the time, but contains less information that almost any of the others (it's pretty much all been said already). |

23 Dec 05 - 12:19 PM (#1633875) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: IrishSinger - Who?Kalilegus/Kilkenny/Ink From: GUEST,Laurie From your description, the singer you are looking for may be Cedric Smith. He sings the lead vocals on "Carrighfergus" on Loreena McKennitt's 1985 debut album "Elemental". He is the only male singer on the album although there is a STUNNING reading of a Robert Blake poem by Scottish Shakespearian actor Douglas Campbell. I hope this is the recording you are looking for. It is easily my favorite interpretation of "Carrighfergus". |
