🎶 My Crucial Track for 10 August 2026 - Killeagh by Kingfishr

Share a song that feels like a prayer.

This song is actually about a hurling team, but it sounds prayerful

In mid-2024, Eoin Fitzgibbon was asked by former hurling coach Phillip O’Neill to write a song for Killeagh GAA to which he agreed if the juniors made the east Cork final that year. Fitzgibbon believed it was unlikely as team hadn’t made the final since 2001. Fitzgibbon said, “lo and behold, October arrives and they get to the final” and he is contacted by O’Neill.

The song was written in 20 minutes, with the group saying “It literally could not have been more of a slapped-together job” referencing the sport of hurling, the focal point it provides for local people and County Cork broadly. The group also joked in a video recording from October 2024, “Welcome to the best thing we’ve ever written”. Wikipedia
