It kicks off with "The Boro & The Gleann" and finishes with the the song about Moyvane’s most famous dog, "Dainty Man". Many of the songs were written by Cormac O’Leary and Paddy Enright and there’s a Dan Keane recitation of course. An interesting part of the evening was the connection to Con Brosnan. Robert Stack, Ballybunion, son of Bob Stack, who partnered Con Brosnan at midfield for Kerry and Eddie Walsh, son of Jack Walsh, Craughdarrig also a member of that great Kerry team are also featured on the CD. Both Robert and Eddie were in Moyvane for the launch. Con, Bob and Jack Walsh won six All Ireland medals each.
