In 1959, when the popular Mayor of Sligo, Ald. James Gannon left for America for the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, he took with him a copy of a song composed by C/bar Cllr. Kevin Collins. The Mayor was a noted and accomplished singer and sang at numerous charity events. The song was “Song of Exile” and was arranged by Sean O’Connell, B.E., organist, Castlebar. |
