A campaign has been launched to convert a derelict Cork pub into a new home for those behind the Grammy-nominated viral music hit, 'The Spark'.

The song, which was recorded by a group of young rappers from the Kabin Crew in Cork and the Lisdoonvarna-based Crew in Clare, has been viewed millions of times on YouTube.
