After All - The Frank and Walters
<p>The Frank and Walters released 'After All' in 1993 and from the beginning the song was a hit, skyrocketing the Cork band to the Top of The Pops. Since then, the song has become an anthem for Cork, voted as the city's favourite song in 2020 and re-entering the iTunes downloads charts at no.2 following the release of the TV show 'The Young Offenders.'</p><br><p>But what are the origins of the song and what makes it the perfect Cork anthem? To answer these questions I will be speaking to the band's songwriter, bassist, and lead vocalist Paul Linehan. To get an insight into the Cork music scene over the years, I will be speaking with UCC's Dr. Eileen Hogan.</p><br><p>Thanks again to my guests Paul Linehan and Dr. Eileen Hogan.</p><br><p><strong>Music featured in this episode:</strong></p><p>‘After All’ - The Frank and Walters</p><p>Buddy Guy by <a href="http://soundofpicture.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podington Bear</a> is licensed under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 International License</a>.</p><p>Kitty In The Window by <a href="http://soundofpicture.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podington Bear</a> is licensed under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 International License</a>.</p><p>60's Quiz Show by <a href="http://soundofpicture.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podington Bear</a> is licensed under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License</a>.</p><p>T Shirt Weather by <a href="http://soundofpicture.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podington Bear</a> is licensed under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 International License</a>.</p><p>Wavy Glass by <a href="http://soundofpicture.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podington Bear</a> is licensed under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 International License</a>.</p><p>Boop by <a href="http://soundofpicture.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podington Bear</a> is licensed under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 International License</a>.</p><br><p><strong>Works Cited:</strong></p><p>Hogan, Eileen.
