John’s wonderful rendition of Jimmy McCarthy's Bright Blue Rose appeared all over national media and the video has now been viewed over half a million times on Facebook.

After hearing John’s songbird-like voice, Leo Fitzgerald of Music Row Studios contacted the barman to record a charity version of Bright Blue Rose and the result is awesome.

Speaking to the Cork Today with Patricia Messenger on C103 radio, Leo was astounded by John’s talent.

The single will be on sale at the Crossroads Bar for €5 and a percentage of the sale will be given to the Cork branch of the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.
