Irish and Nashville musicians hit right note for Cork charity

Cover of Garth Brooks' 'Callin' Baton Rouge'  features lead vocals from Irish country stars Johnny Brady and Mike Denver along with East Cork native Caroline Fraher and Nashville’s rising star KC Johns.

Some of the Irish and Nashville musicians involved in the lockdown recording of a cover version of the classic Garth Brooks hit 'Callin’ Baton Rouge' to raise funds for Down Syndrome Cork.

Two pals from Cork have pulled off a transatlantic country music fundraiser featuring top Irish and Nashville stars to help kids with Down syndrome.

Lifelong music lovers and part-time musicians from Youghal, Richie Foley and Karl Prendergast took the trip of a lifetime to Nashville, Tennessee, with some friends last January.
