The Christmas Jingle (Annual Fundraiser) 2022 - in aid of Enable Ireland
Throwback to one of my @swingbythelee songs for the online lockdown session, a classic jazz tun, All of Me, performed live at The Custom House, Port of Cork site with a magical sunshine filled backdrop..this was mid lockdowns when we couldn't perform to audiences, so I held some recordings with guest singers at fantastic Cork locations to maintain sanity...I think 😁
Thanks to all

@swingbythelee was started to bring people together to play and share music, and I've been so lucky to have so many wonderful musicians and performers join the shows each year, without which the shows wouldn't be possible..and people dont always see see work and effort that goes in by the band, so, a huge shout out to these guys...

V excited to be back to The Oliver Plunkett this Saturday night with my band, @thefranklinsbandcork..come join the fun at 1130pm onwards!
St. Patricks Day, so, had to go with an all Irish tune to celebrate!
This is a cover of No Frontiers, which has always been one of my favourite songs from Mary Black, and written by Jimmy MacCarthy . This was recorded live as part of my festival, Swing by the Lee , at Elizabeth Fort (during lockdown!) and I had the pleasure of duetting with the insanely talented Mary O'Neill Norberg , with very little rehearsal, We hope that you enjoy it!
Thanks to Aisling Productions for taking the video!

🎄🎄CHRISTMAS JINGLE SHOW🎄🎄
Once again, we must adapt, so, we have. And we're thrilled to link up with Blackrock Castle Observatory to give a new, alternative Christmas experience, all in aid of charity as always, this year for Cork ARC Cancer Support House again.
For just €10 a ticket you'll have a live concert, a tour of the castle and an observatory experience as well.
You can pop to Castle Cafe Cork for a warm beverage before or after it, or why not book in for a bit to eat and make a night of it!
Tickets available from tomorrow on eventbrite, EXTREMELY limited due to regulations and numbers, so, do be sure to spread the word.
Feel free to pop by to join in some Christmas songs if you can't make the full event!
I Know Him So Well (cover version)
Myself and the amazingly talented @Michaela Maher Music friendship started whilst performing in a musical at Firkin Crane, so it was only fitting that we'd cover one of our favourite musical duets, from Chess. This was a socially distanced recording that we decided to do on the day, so, we hope you like it!
We're very proud we got to showcase so many historic site across Cork in 2020 during lockdown, for Swing by the Lee, the online version of @Swing in the Park and it was such a joy to get to perform with friends during a time when gigs and events were unable to take place.
Huge thanks to Ann at Firkin Crane for enabling us to perform here, and to @Aisling Productions and Outline Ireland for their expertise and support for all projects to date!
Bright Blue Rose - cover by The Songstress feat. Mary O Neill Norberg
I've always adored Bright Blue Rose, by Cork's own Jimmy MacCarthy, so was delighted to record this as part of my 2020 event, Swing by the Lee - the online re-imagined version of Swing in the Park
Thrilled to be joined by the super talented musician and vocalist Mary O'Neill Norberg on this.
We filmed this live at Elizabeth Fort, which is an amazing tourist attraction in the centre of Cork - thanks to all for your continued support at Pure Cork and Cork Arts
Huge thanks to Aisling Productions for the video
Do check out Swing in the Park where you'll see many more videos of myself and other wonderful singers coming in the next few weeks and months to enjoy, until we can return to perform our live summer series of concerts - free to the public to enjoy of course!
