Local musician Pat Moriarty releases new albumLocal musician, Pat Moriarty, has released a new album titled ‘The Ballad of Dan Allman’.
The album is a collection of traditional Irish ballads that have been a part of the Tiernaboul man’s life for many years.

Growing up in a musical family, Moriarty was exposed to music from a young age.

"There was always music in our house. My grandparents were always singing at home, and my mother loved to sing. I learned a lot of songs and then I loved singing ballads.” He said.

Moriarty's musical journey has taken him through various stages, from singing with friends and neighbours to performing in local bars as part of the group ‘The Rowans.’

The album's title track, ‘The Ballad of Dan Allman’, is a poignant tribute to the Rockfield man who lost his life in Headford Junction Ambush during the War of Independence in March 1921.
The album also features Moriarty's original composition, ‘The Ballad of the Hometown’, which he wrote while feeling homesick while living and working in Germany.

‘The Ballad of Dan Allman’ is now available in most record shops.
