About This Site

I began collecting and recording ‘County Songs’ in late 1980′s;  abandoned it soon afterwards and resurrected it again in 2012.  By May 2017, I had 28 County albums recorded with two more on the way.  Now at 76 years  old, the process has stalled somewhat and it’s unlikely I will complete the 32 albums before the Grim Reaper has his wicked way with me.  I have a further 30 – 40 county song lyrics which I might get round to adding soon. My own personal site www.regkeating.ie has been getting more attention from me of late. It’s looking like being my swan song.
By the way, if you are passing through Youghal in County Cork on a Friday afternoon, there’s a good chance you will find me, my ukulele, and a few more ‘oul jossers singing songs in Moby Dicks bar on the quays. A bit like Last of the Summer Wine. Not sure which of us is Compo.
