Dunbrody
Dunbrody, by Oisin Daly tells the tale of Irish immigrants that migrated to Savannah, GA from Wexford Ireland during the Great Famine in the 1840s. The Dunbrody was a Cargo ship commissioned in Montreal, Quebec to transport timber, cotton and guano before the crisis in Ireland broke out and was subsequently used to transport the Irish fleeing the island. Inspired in part by a conversation with fisherman cousin Oscar Daly that there was a replica of the Dunbrody in New Ross, Wexford, a little more research showed there was in fact a "Savannah Landing" in New Ross complete with a scale model of Forsyth park. As fate would have it Oisin attended an AGM for the Savannah GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) where he met Professor Howard Keeley, head of Irish studies at Georgia Southern University, who was in fact the person who commissioned the Savannah landing in New Ross, thus providing the final inspiration to pen the song. The Savannah GAA is planning a trip to visit County Wexford and Dunbrody in May 2022. Musically the song has tinges of Celtic and Southern rock with fingerstyle and slide guitar throughout in a ballad form. You can listen on all major retailers including Spotify and Tidal or buy on Apple music or Amazon. Lyrics
Sailing for the western shore the teardrop of Ireland fades from view Timber from Canada, Southern Cotton and Guano from Peru Makes way for human Cargo desperation always pays its dues From Wexford county across the bay to Savannah Georgia USA New York City is far away, We're headed for the southern swamps today Famine or Genocide that's not for you or me to decide Cabbagetown and Yamacraw became a new abode for Irish eyes Railroad days are hard and long for Irishmen both young and strong Collapsing in the southern sun , toss them to the side and move along With cobblestones and broken bones Dunbrody sailed across the sea Unbeknownst to those on board headed for the 13th colony It might seem like Irony to end up where you're not supposed to be But for the Irish on the Dunbrody it had to be our destiny From Wexford county across the bay to Savannah Georgia USA New York City is far away, We're headed for the southern swamps today Spirits brought us here Spirits bring us home Dunbrody brought us here Dunbrody bring me home Dunbrody bring me home Xuluprophet Show DatesXuluprophet at Tipsy Mcsway

Let us lay any questions to rest immediately. Rhett Coleman has not left the band and will always be part of this music family. The man that has been filling in on the drums, Geoff Kohler, is actually one of the musicians who got started with Xulu in Savannah busking days on River Street…Even before the fateful joining forces of Xulu & Oisin in 2013 under an oak on Bull at 4:30 AM. Future shows will feature new instrumentation in the 4 pc setup.

Friday Nov 19th 2020 our fellow Savannah musicians and DJs came out and rocked the house at The Wormhole gathering $500 to give to Book Nation. Here is a small photo gallery of snapshots and some video below. Alexis Javier, AKA AJE, brought to life a powerful image that brought the spirit of the show to life. Infused with the energy of the evening, AJE spent the night painting, letting the sounds and lights shape and mold the art coming out of his mind. We auctioned it off at midnight… aannnddd we have a winner! Torrie Leigh won the bidding on the art, and AJE is graciously giving half of that to Book Nation. The winner of our 50/50 raffle was Studio 13. The company advised that they would like to reinvest their winning back into the community. The entire shop was on board with this idea. Thank you Studio 13! Our next event is going down December 13th and will be a benefit for Safe Shelter, our domestic violence shelter in Savannah.
