Dromore singer songwriter and Ógra Shinn Féin activist Siobhan McElholm has launched her first CD 'Farewell to Tummery Hills'.All proceeds of the 14 Track CD will go to Kidney Dialysis patients outing.
As well as including local favourites like 'Beautiful Dromore', and old classics like 'Dancing in Glenroan' and 'The Rocks of Bawn', the talented young County Tyrone women has written and performed a special song of the much loved son of Dromore, Cathal Quinn who died suddenly 2 years ago.
Cathal was a Dromore man through and through and was in many ways the epitomy of the tight knit town. He was a strong community man, actively supporting the GAA and all around him, in whatever way he could.
Cathal was also a committed republican, a proud IRA volunteer and a dedicated Sinn Fein activist and was instrumental in empowering local people and making Dromore the republican heartland it is today, and played a key role in erecting the Bobby Sands monument as a lasting centrepiece to the town.
It was for these reasons that Siobhan wrote and dedicated the song to Cathal.
If you would like to purchase the CD, priced at £10, you can get one in the Arts and Crafts Síopa, James Street Omagh or by calling Siobhan on 07756389455.
