BLACK RIVER is a single in aid of the housing charity FOCUS IRELAND and Cork's beloved CORK PENNY DINNERS.
Co-written by Cork's Greenshine and Aran Islander Pádraig Jack, the bi-lingual song Black River depicts the loneliness of late night city streets, when the music stops and you're alone with no place left to go.

Co-scríofa ag Greenshine agus Pádraig Jack, amhrán dátheangach is ea BLACK RIVER ag léiriú an uaigneas atá bainteach le sráideanna na cathrach go déanach san oíche, nuair a stopann an ceol agus tú id aonar gan aon áit fágtha le dul. Bronnfar airgead ón singil ar Focus Ireland agus Cork Penny Dinners.
