His next single was Another Night at the Movies -I may have it somewhere but dont know for sure. Adam at the Window was the next 45 in 1988 and I have that one -great song.
Does anyone have a copy of Jimmy MacCarthy's "The People of West Cork & Kerry". It was released as a single in 2000 and I'm still trying to source a copy.
This brings back memories!!! I remember buying this in Dolphin Discs within hours of it coming out. Still have my copy though I dont have a turntable to play it on. Loved the B-side Shuffle of the Buckled"
Yes this is the same Jimmy. The new song is called "Hey Ho Believe" and its his first new release since 2002. Unfortunatley I can't upload it because I have not got the song on CD but hopefully when the album is out in May. I have all Jimmy's other records though, including this one.
Today in Galway city I heard a local busker sing this song. What a brilliant retro classic. I am searching down a clean copy of this song for my local radio show but so far no luck. This is the only place ive heard it so far!
@donalmahon Thanks for the comment and it is great to hear that buskers in Galway are playing the song. I'd be curious to know how the busker came across it. I've been looking for a clean copy myself for ages with no success. Let me know if you have any more luck.
@jimmismash and @donalmahon. I believe I'm the busker he is talking about. I use an amp and a mic stand, if he's seen me. I remembered this song from my youth. Came across it when a friend of mine burnt me a copy. I do like in the movies too.
Great song indeed. If you have it would you be able to put up MacCarthy's song There Is No Night from 2000? It was released on the album Cork Folk Festival Archive. Thanks again
Well done, great blast from the past. Jimmy Mac Carthy is the best. Nobody does his songs like he does. About time there was an original Mac Carthy piece. The video work is fantastic. Elena.
Well Well - at last I have found this McCarthy masterpiece - thanks mismatch for putting it up. There was a bunch of great musicians in Tuam who used to always play a most perfect version of this way back in 81/82. Happy Days indeed.
Can you put up 'Adam at the Window' from '87 another good McCarthy number if you have it. There is a nice page on McCarthy on wikipedia worth a look if only for the songwriting credits.
Thanks for the great note! And my search to find it was long! In fact an Australian Jimmy Mac guru who sent me a rip off a much used and abused 45 that I converted to the version here, thus the iffy sound quality. I don't know if I have Jimmy's version of Adam. I'll have to check.
I love this song. I used to go to Slatterys in Dublin when he played there. Happy days - a long time a ago. I also remember him in Bunnyconnellan, County Cork, playing sometimes with Owen O Brien and Freddie White.
His next single was Another Night at the Movies -I may have it somewhere but dont know for sure. Adam at the Window was the next 45 in 1988 and I have that one -great song.

Apologies all around. I thought he was referring to me!
If you have a better copy of Miles of Eyes than the one I posted, I'd really be interested in getting a hold of it.

Hey thanks.
I don't know if I can really say that the Miles of Eyes copy I have is better than this one.
It does not have any scratches or anything but it is on the same track as the B-Side (Shuffle of the Buckled) due to an error with the vinyl rip.
I will send you a message.
