    I'm pretty sure it's definitely not Ballincollig.

    So somebody else w has discovered the talent that is Mr. Spillane - I love his annual Christmas Concert, he's just so entertaining when he chats away to the audience - I think he's brill too and I get such a giggle out of Orca, Killer Whale and Johnny not going to Ballincollig/Carrigaline or anywhere else that isn't Cork!!! He's one Cork Boy to be proud of!:)

    He is from bishopstown. But if you have heard the song Johnny don't go to Ballincollig then you have to Listen to his next song called " beautiful Ballincollig".

    He plays in debarras in clonakilty the first Thursday of every month afaik.

    I've heard beautiful Ballincollig too. But I love his song about Passage West, such a lovely dedication to his missus. So the John Spillane Fan Club starts up on Boards - at last!
