London-based South Kerry businessman Dan Tim O’Sullivan launched his first music CD at Francie Sheahan's Pub in Killorglin on St Stephen’s Day.

.

'Memories of Ireland' is a collection of songs the Kells Bay man likes to sing at functions in London or on trips home to Kerry.

Proceeds from the sale will be donated to Edel O'Sullivan 'Edel's Road to Recovery' GoFundMe, which is raising money to help the Valentia woman who is recovering from a serious type of brain tumour.

She was lucky to find accommodation in a specialist London rehabilitation clinic before Christmas.

The CD was produced with help from well-known balladeer PJ Murrihy and London-based Killarney pianist Jack Patrick Healy.

Murrihy also performs on the CD. He sings a song called ‘Kerry Man of The Year’ in recognition of Dan Tim being named the Kerry Association London Person of the Year in 2004.

A London launch took place in Kilburn in early December.
