The last of our four exclusive live-streamed performances by musicians and bands all with a connection to County Leitrim featured the wonderful Charlie McGettigan who is joined by his very talented grandson Pádraig Bennett and Pádraig's younger brother Cathal.
Recorded live in The Dock, the concert offered a mix of original songs by both Charlie and Pádraig.
It also featured a new song from Charlie & Pádraig commissioned by The Dock. Drumshanbo was the inspiration for that new song.
“It’s lovely to write songs about places you love - Spancil Hill, the Cliffs of Dooneen spring to mind - and I have written many such songs. However, when asked to write a new song about my home place I thought it might be nice to get a young person’s perspective on my home place of Drumshanbo. My grandson Pádraig Bennett has been coming here since he was a baby seventeen years ago. He has always loved Drumshanbo and still loves coming here so the two of us set about writing “The magic of Drumshanbo Town”
