The market town of Gort [words and music Joe Carey, adapted from an original poem by Peter Fahy], song

This song started life as a poem by a local historian in Gort named Peter Fahy. On reading the poem the first time Joe realised that it would make for a lovely song, but that it would need to be changed and adapted first. He asked Peter’s permission to work on it and the song is now sung regularly at singing sessions.
