Monageer singer/songwriter John Doyle is a veteran of Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann who won an All Ireland under 14 title playing the tin whistle in Mullingar in 1963 and while he is looking forward to the world’s largest music festival in Wexford town you won’t find his name amongst the competitors.
John is celebrating Fleadh 2024 with a new song that he composed some years ago, but decided to freshen it up in the recording studio of Ivan Levingston and it can be heard and enjoyed… starting here on WexfordLocal.com.
With catchy lyrics and a nice sing along melody the title is ‘The Auld Wexford Rover’. John will be performing his latest composition on the Fleadh Gig Rig with the Blackstairs Crew in Bank Holiday Monday at 3.40pm. Don’t miss it!
In the meantime, John has been telling WexfordLocal.com about his experiences of Fleadhanna, some history relating to the Ferns area of Co. Wexford, and, of course, it’s the place to hear ‘The Auld Wexford Rover’ for the first time!
